A new algorithm can discovery thermoelectric materials by solving quantum mechanical equations. It works by predicting material’s electronic transport properties. Using this method, experimentalists discovered a material that was both stable...
Diamonds can be bent, stretched and reformed to its original shape, if grown in tiny needle-like shapes. It could be stretched by as much as 9% without breaking. These results could open the new possibilities for diamond-based equipments. Diamond...
Researchers have discovered an interesting way to create and remove magnets in an alloy of iron and aluminum. They’ve used laser pulses of 100 femtoseconds to switch the ferromagnetic ordering reversibly. This could have a wide range of...
Scientists discover how to eliminate the primary genetic risk factor of Alzheimer’s disease – Apolipoprotein E. They examined the effect of apolipoprotein E on human brain cells for the first time. To fix this faulty gene, they...
Physicists collide lead ions to create a Quark-Gluon Plasma at the Large Hadron Collider. The collision creates high-energy partons, which further split into two or more partons. It gives new insights of color coherence and other properties of...
Physicists have developed a new form of photonics matter by sticking three photons together under certain conditions. The bound-photons have a fraction of mass of electron and move about 100,000 times slower than usual non-interacting photons. We...
In 2015, physicists created a tiny magnetic wormhole to connect 2 different space regions. This is something different from a gravitational blackhole, in which magnetic field can travel through an invisible tunnel. The results of the constructed...
Researchers have come up with a new method to measure brain’s electrical activity, without electrodes. They built Archon1, a light-sensitive protein, that ejects a fluorescent signal after it’s delivered into a brain cell. Neurons...
Scientists used a data-driven approach for facial phenotyping that exploits partable as well as integrated data contained in 3D facial images. The study has a wide range of applications from early diagnosis, treatment planning in craniofacial...
The new CRISPR-based tool, named SHERLOCK, can detect many diseases and infection like dengue, HPV and Zika. It can check the presence of target molecule(s) in a given sample, without requiring any additional expensive equipment. A team of...
Metal-organic frameworks can capture, store and release chemical compounds like salts and ions in seawater. It has a wide internal surface area and sponge like crystals for trapping chemical compounds dissolved in water. Do you know more than 783...
A sphere (micrometer-scale) is trapped in a liquid mixture using optical tweezers, and under specific conditions it rotates around the laser beam. The sphere’s rotational speed increases with the increase in laser power. The behavior can...
