The new inhalable form of DNA could help treat several lung diseases, including cystic fibrosis and respiratory distress syndrome. It’s made of biodegradable, positively charged polymer known as hyperbranched poly. Once inhaled, the...
A new method could allow modern CPUs to perform computations using 1,000 times less energy than Landauer limit (0.0172 electronvolts). It works by synchronizing the operations with the processor’s temperature oscillations. In digital...
The new method can rapidly sort microbes based on their capability to generate electricity. It is more efficient and safer than existing techniques for accessing microbe’s electrochemical activity. Some species of bacteria on Earth live in...
Researchers use quasars to measure the universe’s expansion across the past 12 billion years. They examined the XMM-Newton archive and gathered X-ray data of more than 7,000 quasars. Our Universe is thought to consist of 3 kinds of substance:...
Samsung develops the industry’s first 1TB embedded Universal Flash Storage for data-intensive applications. It offers 10 times faster speed than a traditional microSD card. This will enable users to shoot videos at 960 frames per second...
New machine learning-based model makes driverless vehicles safer. It detects instances in which AI can learn from examples that could cost dangerous errors in the real world. Recent advances in the field of artificial intelligence have made self...
Every rock has specific mineralogy and chemical composition based on which they are characterized and separated from other rock types. Then there is texture such as grain-size which help researchers to distinguish them visually. In general, rocks...
A new type of rectenna made of a thin, two-dimensional semiconductor can convert WiFi signals to electricity. Researchers were able to generate 40 microwatts of power when they exposed rectenna to normal WiFi signals. That is more than enough power...
The new cryptocurrency Vault drastically decreases the amount of data a user needs to join the network and verify transactions. It reduces the storage and bootstrapping cost for 500 million transactions to 477 MB, compared to 143 GB for Bitcoin and...
A new deep learning-based model can automatically detect and map informal settlements using low-resolution satellite imagery. It can classify what the spectrum of an informal settlement looks like, in a cost-effective manner. Nearly one-fourth of...
Physicists build a new model that suggests our universe may be sitting on a bubble expanded by dark energy. All particles in our universe are the endpoints of strings (as per string theory) extending out into another dimension. In 1925, an...
Researchers develop a contrast agent that makes MRI more contrast and sensitive. To do this, they created hyperpolarized xenon gas through an optical pumping method. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a tomographic technique that uses a strong...
