For years, scientists couldn’t explain why theoretical computations of beta decay rates have been much faster than what is observed in experiments. Physicists have now found a solution for this long-standing puzzle, using advanced nuclear...
Researchers develop a new tissue-like polymer whose thermal and optical properties can be configured separately. It can be used in a variety of applications, such as colorful heat-reflecting windows and facades. The color and thermal properties of a...
Biologists successfully develop a genome of a bacterium using a computer algorithm. The algorithm utilizes the redundancy of the genetic code and computes the ideal sequence of DNA for constructing genome. In the future, the method could be applied...
Hubble Space Telescope captures a new active asteroid named 6478 Gault. The asteroid ejected matter into space (between October and December 2018), leaving behind two long tails. The debris from the long tail was captured earlier in December 2018...
Researchers use sound waves to turn hard disk drive into a microphone. This unintentional microphone can extract and parse human speech with high fidelity. The method requires hard drive firmware to be modified via old hacking techniques like...
A new machine learning algorithm accurately predicts the behavior of a roundworm. It analyzes how Caenorhabditis elegans respond to a laser stimulus. The algorithm can find precise and interpretable models of more intricate systems. In recent...
Researchers have developed and tested a new kind of wing, assembled from numerous small identical parts. This lightweight wing can alter its shape to control the airplane’s flight. It could substantially improve the efficiency of aircraft...
Researchers develop a new processing technique to create see-through polythene films that are stronger and lighter than aluminum. These films can be used in windscreens, visors, glazing, and electronic displays. When it comes to creating see...
Scientists examine reverse osmosis membranes on a molecular level. The findings may help improve the performance of membranes used in reverse osmosis systems. This could significantly decrease the cost of water purification. Earth contains about...
A new theory says that Big Bang was a starting point of an anti-universe, a mirror image of the present universe. In anti-universe, time flows in the opposite direction and antimatter dominates. The Big Bang cosmology describes the history and...
Researchers have come up with next-generation metalenses made of metal nanoparticles and a polymer. It has the potential to replace conventional refractive lenses to realize optoelectronic devices and portable imaging systems. Tiny optical elements...
A new machine learning technique identifies links and patterns in the ocean that make sense. It reveals a total of 5 dynamic consistent regions that make up nearly 93.7% of the world’s ocean, along with their most dominant physical parameter...
