The smallest pixel ever created can be used to build massive screen, large enough to cover whole buildings. These pixels are a million times smaller than those in modern cell phones. In recent decades, plasmonic metasurfaces have emerged as a...
Researchers propose a new method (derived from classical physics) to predict how economies respond to major disturbances. It outperforms all existing econometric forecasting systems. Understanding economies in times of crises is one of the most...
New method enables fast 3D reconstructions of nanoscale objects. It works by taking two images of an object from two different locations and combining them to form a spatial image. There exist countless object in nature that has complex 3D...
Physicists develop a sophisticated setup capable of generating ultra-high controllable magnetic. They were able to generate a magnetic field of 1200 Tesla using electromagnetic flux compression. To measure the field strength, they used...
Researchers develop a new kind of biomaterial using artificial DNA as its base. It has all lifelike properties, including metabolism and the ability to self-assemble and organize. All living organisms maintain themselves by generating new cells...
Some unusual bacteria conduct electricity through a structure never observed before. Researchers use cryo-electron microscopy to identify the shape and composition of that structure in bacteria called Geobacter sulfurreducens. The findings can be...
Researchers image vibrational modes of molecules that were previously observed only in computer simulations. They used Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy to take snapshots of vibrating molecules. Standard optical microscopy can only image up to a few...
Heat behaves like sound when traveling through graphite at room temperature. This is an entirely different behavior than what we see in day-to-day surroundings. Such materials could be useful for thermal management in microelectronics and for...
Low socioeconomic status leaves a long-lasting effect on our health. It becomes biologically embedded, affecting almost 10% of the genes in our genome. Understanding how socioeconomic status (SES) over the life course leaves a mark on health has...
For years, scientists couldn’t explain why theoretical computations of beta decay rates have been much faster than what is observed in experiments. Physicists have now found a solution for this long-standing puzzle, using advanced nuclear...
Researchers develop a new tissue-like polymer whose thermal and optical properties can be configured separately. It can be used in a variety of applications, such as colorful heat-reflecting windows and facades. The color and thermal properties of a...
Biologists successfully develop a genome of a bacterium using a computer algorithm. The algorithm utilizes the redundancy of the genetic code and computes the ideal sequence of DNA for constructing genome. In the future, the method could be applied...
