Researchers created an artificial tissue that was very similar to real salivary glands. The tissue functioned normally in mice without salivary glands. Unfortunately, humans don’t have the incredible capability of regrowing organ when they...
A child android robot named Affetto was first introduced in 2011. Researchers have upgraded this robot to achieve more human-like facial expressions. They analyzed over 100 points on Affetto’s face and added a variety of expressions like...
Researchers design a theoretical method to improve quantum computing performance. The method is known as Dynamical Decoupling and it worked on 2 small-scale quantum computers. It doesn’t require encoding overhead and works by transforming...
In an unusual experiment, researchers managed to melt gold at room temperature. They applied a strong electric field to change the state of the metal surface and observed the process using Transmission Electron Microscopy. As a precious metal...
Researchers loaded 3D-printed structures of porous graphene aerogel with manganese oxide. This enabled them to capture an ultrahigh energy storage capacity into a small area. The energy densities are equivalent to that of some traditional...
Researchers develop a new method to reduce carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, using renewable electricity. It can decrease the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere every year. In fact, industries can capture these gases and...
New technique uses Genetic algorithms to minimize the electromagnetic scattering of the object by infusing filler within it. It makes both the object and the filler invisible. Due to recent advances in material engineering, scientists are showing...
Astronomers discover a star that might have been born in the same stellar nursery as the Sun. The age, carbon isotopes ratio and chemical abundances of this star are roughly same as the Sun. Named HD 186302, the star is 184 light-years away from...
A new type of membrane requires much lower pressure than standard membranes to filter suspended particles from water. It lasts 3 times longer and saves twice as much energy than conventional transmembrane. Water purification techniques decrease the...
Researchers build a 360-degree virtual reality simulation of a supermassive black hole. It is developed according to the observer’s general point of view, who can arbitrarily change his position and motion with respect to the black hole. It...
A new theoretical model explains how did water come to Earth. Water on Earth may not have solely came from asteroid matter. Nearly 2% of Earth’s water originated from the solar nebula. The origin of water is a longstanding enigma...
New study links paternal age to birth risks. The risk is directly proportional to the age of the father: the older he is, the higher the risk. Babies born to fathers older than 35 are at a greater risk of adverse birth outcomes like seizures and...
