Researchers determine the number of cancer cells that trigger the spread of tumor in different body parts.  They found that many common metastatic tumors can be triggered by a range of hundreds to thousands of colonizing tumor cells.  According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 1.6 million new cases of cancer get diagnosed every year, about ...

A poet tries to represent the laws of a topological quantum computer through poetry.  The poem translates the quantum physics in both its visual structure and word choices. Poetry is a nuanced form in which language is used for its aesthetic qualities instead of semantic and notional content. The language is used in a way ...

Researchers want to blast holes in the clouds to transmit information at high rates.  To do this, they will use ultrashort high-intensity laser filaments.  The technology doesn’t leave any negative impact on the atmosphere.  Today’s long-range information is transmitted by either radio waves (via satellites) or underground optical fiber. However, the flow of information is ...

New cold-atom vacuum standard can accurately measure low-pressure levels.  Researchers are currently testing individual modules and a working prototype will be available soon.  It will be the first absolute sensor to operate in ultrahigh and extreme-high vacuum. There are many methods to measure pressure/vacuum. Several research labs are using new technologies to remove a large number ...

Researchers spotted 14 new uranium hydrides that have superconducting properties.  UH7 is the highest-temperature superconductor that shows superconducting features at -219° C.  The temperature can be raised to even more levels via doping. Uranium is a radioactive element. It has an unstable nucleus, with half-lives varying between 4.5 billion years and 159,200 years. In fact, it was ...

New 3D model of human brain tissue can accurately mimic brain’s functional and structural features.  It allows scientists to measure cellular properties, and visualize behavior and growth of individual cells in the brain.  With billions of neurons connected by trillions of synapses, human brain is one of the most complex things in nature. The interconnections of ...

The mobile gaming industry is growing at an unprecedented rate and it’s now bigger than ever. While there is no doubt that iOS has a better selection of games, Google Play Store has evolved drastically from its infancy in the last few years. The number of gaming apps available in the Play Store in 2018 (first ...

For the first time, researchers develop a technique to capture 3D images of microscopic cracks in nickel-base alloys caused by hydrogen or water exposure.  It will help engineer develop microstructures with extended material life, saving costs on repairs and replacements. Microfractures in metal alloys cannot be seen with the naked eye, but they can extend ...

Researchers used an X-ray laser to examine how a plasma produced by high-intensity laser expands in a few femtoseconds after it is formed.  The method can be used to study fusion energy, high-energy cosmic rays, and novel particle accelerators.  If you shine an ultrahigh-intensity laser pulse at a metal piece, it would generate a plasma ...

Over the next 10 years, telecom companies will be competing for a $3 trillion cumulative revenue in wireless services.  5G will drive nearly half of this revenue opportunity.  By 2028, the average monthly consumption per 5G subscriber will be 84.4 GB.  The first stage of 5G specification in Release-15 will be completed by March 2019, and ...

To gain new insight, astronomers plan to observe a spiral galaxy that hosts a supermassive black hole at its center.  They will gather the data through NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, which is set to be launched in 2021.  By evaluating motions of stars around the black hole, they can determine the black hole’s mass.  ...

New deep learning model analyzes breast tissues in mammograms and accurately estimates density ratings.  These ratings are an independent risk factor for breast cancer.  The model takes less than one second to process one mammogram and it could be easily scaled throughout hospitals.  In the United States, breast cancer death rates are significantly higher than any other ...
