Researchers develop a microscale vibrating glass ring that works as a circulator. This small glass ring resonator interacts with light and directs it on an optical chip, without using magnets. Circulators are crucial modules in...
Physicists ‘rediscovered’ a material that could make ultrahigh-speed quantum internet a reality. It’s silicon carbide (SiC). It emits photons efficiently, and thus can transfer data at 1 Gbps on quantum...
Researchers develop a new genetic analysis approach that utilizes natural genetic code to enable personalized medicine. The method is capable of testing many people simultaneously, which not only provides more information, but also...
Neuroscientists have developed a technique to map neural activity pattern with resolution and specificity that conventional MRI cannot achieve. The new probe, made of magnetic calcium-responsive nanoparticles using synaptotagmin...
Neuroscientists have developed a technique to keep pig’s brain alive without body for up to 36 hours. The technique, named BrainEx, involves attaching a brain to tubes that circulate artificial blood throughout the vessels of the brain...
Scientists found a new DNA structure, named i-motif, in human cells. They have built an accurate fragment of an antibody molecule to recognize i-motif’s structure. It’s a four-stranded knot of DNA, where C letters (cytosine) on the...
The heaviest known element, oganesson, shows very unusual physical and chemical properties. Oganesson is the first noble gas that is surprisingly chemically reactive. Unlike other noble gas, electrons in oganesson are assembled in...
Researchers demonstrate a new model to bring beam of light to a standstill. They examined light waves under specific instances of “exceptional points”. These are points where two ‘modes’ of light wave come together and...
So far, we have known that the learning process in the brain is driven by synapses. Now researchers demonstrated that learning occurs in various long ramified arms, known as dendrites. . Dendritic learning occurs at quite faster rate than...
Scientists created Bose-Einstein condensate and configured it into a quick-expanding ring. This ring of ultracold atom exhibits features that resemble characteristics of an expanding universe. One can use it as a laboratory test bed for...
A new type of electron microscope can capture how nanoparticles transform in real time. It provides dynamic, high-resolution, multi-frame videos of nanoparticles as they evolve. This could change how scientists design paints, lubricants...
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...
