The new plane doesn’t use turbines or propellers to fly. It is powered by the ‘ionic wind’ that produces enough thrust to propel the small aircraft. Researchers were able to fly it a distance of 60 meters. The first controlled...
Sony achieves fastest deep learning speed using distributed learning. They built a framework that determines the appropriate batch sizes and optical number of GPUs for learning. For training ImageNet/ResNet 50, it took only 3 minutes and 44...
Researchers found a new family of fish that resided in the ocean at the same time as the dinosaurs. They had sharp and pointed teeth like piranhas, which they used to chew off flesh from other fishes. Paleontologists continuously seek for...
A proposed pipeline network could elevate improved oil recovery in the United States by 50%. With proper infrastructure, the nation could double the amount of CO2 emissions stored within 6 years. Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) is...
Researchers find signatures of exotic particles that aren’t explained in the standard model of physics. They showed that field around an electron spontaneously transform into new particles. In the Standard Model of particle physics, electrons...
The Microsoft vs Apple is one of the most controversial topics for more than 3 decades. It’s a war that has raged across time and space. Which is better? Is there even a true winner? Some of these questions cannot be answered, but this page...
Researchers develop a new laser architecture named universal light modulator to probe and control matter. It could be a turning point for all major photonic applications that require high power. Lasers are used for several purposes, including...
To obtain superfluorescence on-demand, researchers used quantum dots made of lead halide perovskites. They conducted optical experiments at -267°C, which gave the final evidence of superfluorescence. A few materials have a tendency to continuously...
New metal-organic framework can efficiently separate ethane and ethylene to manufacture plastic (polyethylene). The process runs at room temperatures and requires much less energy. Generally, manufacturing plastics requires enormous amounts of...
New optogenetic tool uses laser to ‘switch off’ the electrically excitable cells. It reduces harmful side effects through artificial ion fluxes that were inevitable with the existing optogenetic inhibitory tools. Optogenetics is a...
New ghost imaging method measures which gas is present in the atmosphere and at what quantity, with far better accuracy. It doesn’t require extremely sensitive detectors and powerful light sources to work. Measuring greenhouse gases in...
In the next three decades, the air conditioning units will increase by almost 400% worldwide. This will contribute to hundreds of billions of tons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. By 2100, the use of air conditioners alone will increase the...
