Researchers develop a wood-based material by combining graphite with nanocellulose. It is stronger and 6 times lighter than stainless steel. It could be a green alternative for constructing lightweight body armor, vehicles and aircraft. Materials...
Researchers develop a revolutionary way to keep a patient’s vaccination history. It involves storing data in quantum dot dye and injecting it under the skin along with the vaccine. The data can be read after up to 5 years using a specially...
Researchers develop the world’s fastest molecular machine using the harpoon mechanism. It is 4000 times faster than myosin, the fastest biological motor protein. These artificial machines could perform tasks essential for life such as ATP...
Researchers create the coldest bond the world has ever seen by forcing two potassium rubidium (KRb) molecules to meet and react. The reaction took place at 500 nanokelvin (-273.1499995 °C). Chemical reactions are the most crucial events in the...
Contrary to common beliefs, blue light is not as disruptive to our sleep patterns as proved earlier. The white or yellow light has a stronger effect than equally bright blue light. Blue light is everywhere. Sunlight is the main source of blue light...
Researchers develop an ultimate non-stick coating that can repel all types of bacteria. It reduces biofilm formation and the transfer of bacteria through an intermediate surface. It can be easily applied onto various objects such as bed tables...
Ramanujan Machine automatically produces conjectures on fundamental constants. It’s not actually a machine, but a combination of algorithms to generate mathematical formulas for fundamental constants. Fundamental mathematical constants such...
Tobacco and tomato plants emit sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20-100 kHz. They emit sounds under certain stress conditions (cut and dry). These sounds can be distinguished to know the type of stress. It has been already proven that plants can...
Obesity could trigger inflammation in the nervous system, damaging crucial parts of the brain. These alterations in the brain are responsible for cognitive functions, emotions, and control of appetite. In recent decades, obesity in children and...
Max IV is the most powerful synchrotron of its kind and the brightest light source in the world. It accelerates bunches of electrons to a speed of up to 99.9999999985% of the speed of light, in a 528-meter storage ring with a diameter of 1 cm. MAX...
Researchers scanned the brain of a dead woman using a powerful 7-Tesla MRI. They collected 7.92 TeraBytes of raw data in a 100-hour scan process. The images are detailed enough to spot structures that are smaller than 0.1 millimeters wide. ...
Researchers demonstrate revolutionary nanotechnology that significantly increases the efficiency of solar cells. It enables solar cells to capture infrared light and transform it into usable energy. Solar panels equipped with this technology could...
