A new technique unlocks more information from sonar signals than ever before. The additional data could enhance the performance of passive sonar systems, seismic surveying systems, and medical imaging equipment. The field of acoustics involves all...
Researchers invent a new method to reduce the volume of objects of any shape and structure. It works for a wide range of materials, including metals, quantum dots, and DNA. The technique can be used in the field of robotics, medicine, and optics...
The new technique decreases carbon emissions from wastewater treatment systems and generates clean hydrogen energy. It uses purple photosynthetic bacteria and electric current to process the organic substance in human waste. Typical wastewater...
Researchers created an artificial tissue that was very similar to real salivary glands. The tissue functioned normally in mice without salivary glands. Unfortunately, humans don’t have the incredible capability of regrowing organ when they...
In an unusual experiment, researchers managed to melt gold at room temperature. They applied a strong electric field to change the state of the metal surface and observed the process using Transmission Electron Microscopy. As a precious metal...
Researchers develop a new method to reduce carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, using renewable electricity. It can decrease the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere every year. In fact, industries can capture these gases and...
Researchers build a 360-degree virtual reality simulation of a supermassive black hole. It is developed according to the observer’s general point of view, who can arbitrarily change his position and motion with respect to the black hole. It...
Researchers find signatures of exotic particles that aren’t explained in the standard model of physics. They showed that field around an electron spontaneously transform into new particles. In the Standard Model of particle physics, electrons...
New metal-organic framework can efficiently separate ethane and ethylene to manufacture plastic (polyethylene). The process runs at room temperatures and requires much less energy. Generally, manufacturing plastics requires enormous amounts of...
New optogenetic tool uses laser to ‘switch off’ the electrically excitable cells. It reduces harmful side effects through artificial ion fluxes that were inevitable with the existing optogenetic inhibitory tools. Optogenetics is a...
A research team has built a near real-time system for the simulation of Earth’s interior and earthquakes. To do this, they used the world’s fastest supercomputer, Summit. They are currently addressing issues in helioseismology...
A new technique named Optical Coherence Tomography vibrography can visualize how sound-induced vibrations travel through the ear. This will help doctors distinguish various middle-ear disorders without performing a surgery. The tympanic membrane...
