The new engineered graphene form can revolutionize space telescope technology. It could enable accurate imaging of large regions of nearby galaxies and star-forming clouds, in shorter times. Compared to conventional superconductors used in...
Researchers test the quantum superposition principle at a massive scale like never before. They illustrated the delocalization of the massive molecules containing 40,000 neutrons, electrons, and protons. Up to 2,000 atoms remained in two places at...
New lithium-carbon dioxide batteries can be fully charged/recharged up to 500 consecutive charge/discharge cycles. The battery is made by integrating a unique combination of materials. Lithium-ion batteries are used in almost all consumer...
As the name suggests, emerging technologies are the ones whose development and practical applications are widely unrealized. They represent progressive development in various fields, ranging from robotics and artificial intelligence to cognitive...
The new simulation shows how gravity distorts light around the black hole. This is the most accurate computer-generation visualization of a black hole to date. It clearly shows all crucial components of a black hole, including accretion disk and...
Researchers reconstruct a picture of Denisovan girl, who lived five hundred centuries ago. The skeletal anatomy of Denisovan is based on a palette of ancient DNA patterns. This offers a glimpse of how a subspecies of archaic humans might have looked...
Researchers revisit the concept of a space elevator with a minor modification. Instead of anchoring the cable on Earth, anchor it on the moon and dangle it toward Earth. This would make lunar and terrestrial gravitational pull cancel each other...
Vehicles that are used by the military either to engage in combat or transport personnel are distinguished as military vehicles. After the Second World War, new technologies were rigorously introduced to make these machines more efficient and...
Like many other technological devices, microscopes have a very long history. The earliest microscopes contained simple magnifying glass with low power (up to 10 times). They were used to observe small insects such as fleas. The early versions of...
Researchers develop the smallest spectrometer that is one thousand times thinner than a human hair. It could enable assessing the quality of drugs, freshness of foods, and much more, from a smartphone camera. In 1666, Isaac Newton’s...
For the first time, researchers capture videos of chemical synthesis at atomic resolution. It took almost 12 months to convince reviewers what they captured is real. The study could be extremely useful in drug development and materials science. ...
Researchers successfully synthesize the long-sought circular molecule carbon-18. It is the smallest cyclo[n]carbon considered to be thermodynamically stable. In the near future, it could be used to develop molecular-sized transistors. The...
