| Creating more resilient supply chains through nature-inspired design Posted: 08 Jul 2021 02:03 PM PDT A new article lays out the way natural ecosystems parallel U.S. supply chains and how American cities can use these tools to strengthen their supply chains. |
| First study of nickelate's magnetism finds a strong kinship with cuprate superconductors Posted: 08 Jul 2021 02:03 PM PDT Are new nickelate superconductors close kin to the original high-temperature superconductors, the cuprates? The first study of their magnetic properties says the answer is yes. Scientists have found important similarities but also subtle differences between the two. |
| Remotely-piloted sailboats monitor 'cold pools' in tropical environments Posted: 08 Jul 2021 02:03 PM PDT Researchers used remotely-piloted sailboats to gather data on cold air pools, or pockets of cooler air that form when rain evaporates below tropical storm clouds. These hard-to-study phenomena are thought to have broader effects on tropical weather. |
| The pressure is off and high temperature superconductivity remains Posted: 08 Jul 2021 02:03 PM PDT Using a new pressure quenching (PQ) technique at high temperatures to induce superconductivity in iron selenide (FeSe) crystals, superconductivity was achieved -- and sustained -- without pressure. |
| Solving the plastic shortage with a new chemical catalyst Posted: 08 Jul 2021 11:38 AM PDT In a year that has already battered manufacturing supply chains, yet another shortage is complicating manufacturers' and consumers' lives: plastics, and the food packaging, automotive components, clothing, medical and lab equipment and countless other items that rely on them. |
| New radio receiver opens wider window to radio universe Posted: 08 Jul 2021 08:15 AM PDT Researchers have used the latest wireless technology to develop a new radio receiver for astronomy. The receiver is capable of capturing radio waves at frequencies over a range several times wider than conventional ones, and can detect radio waves emitted by many types of molecules in space at once. This is expected to enable significant progresses in the study of the evolution of the Universe and the mechanisms of star and planet formation. |
| Collective battery storage beneficial for decarbonized world Posted: 08 Jul 2021 07:36 AM PDT Batteries are potentially a game-changing technology as we decarbonize our economy, and their benefits are even greater when shared across communities, a new study has found. |
| To predict underwater volcano eruptions, scientist looks at images from space Posted: 08 Jul 2021 07:36 AM PDT A new study monitored satellite images to obtain sea discoloration data as a novel indicator in detecting if an underwater volcano's eruption is imminent. |
| Unlocking radiation-free quantum technology with graphene Posted: 08 Jul 2021 07:36 AM PDT 'Heavy fermions' are an appealing theoretical way to produce quantum entangled phenomena, but until recently have been observed mostly in dangerously radioactive compounds. Researchers have now shown it is possible to make heavy fermions in subtly modified graphene, which is much cheaper and safer. |
| Simulations of turbulence's smallest structures Posted: 08 Jul 2021 07:36 AM PDT Scientists have long used supercomputers to better understand how turbulent flows behave under a variety of conditions. Researchers have now include the complex but essential concept of 'intermittency' in turbulent flows. |
| More EVs could reduce CO2 emissions in Hawaii by 93% in less than 30 years Posted: 07 Jul 2021 03:53 PM PDT By 2050, faster adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and faster generation of renewable energy will result in 99% less fossil fuel consumed and 93% less CO2 emissions from passenger and freight vehicles on Oahu. |
| Quantum particles: Pulled and compressed Posted: 07 Jul 2021 01:05 PM PDT Only recently researchers have levitated and cooled nanoparticles into the quantum regime. A research team now proposes a way to harness the quantum properties of such particles before they lose them due to decoherence. To this end, the wave function of the particle is repeatedly expanded and compressed. |
| Scientists use artificial intelligence to detect gravitational waves Posted: 07 Jul 2021 01:04 PM PDT Researchers have used artificial intelligence to dramatically reduce the time it takes to process data coming from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. |
| Tiny tools: Controlling individual water droplets as biochemical reactors Posted: 07 Jul 2021 11:07 AM PDT Scientists develop a method to better manipulate tiny droplets in lab-on-a-chip applications for biochemistry, cell culturing, and drug screening. |
| New imaging technique may boost research in biology, neuroscience Posted: 07 Jul 2021 11:06 AM PDT A research team presents a new process that uses computational imaging to get high resolution images at a rate 100 to 1,000 times faster than other state-of-the-art technologies that use complex algorithms and machine learning. |
| Microscopy technique makes finer images of deeper tissue, more quickly Posted: 07 Jul 2021 11:03 AM PDT A team of researchers has developed a modified version of two-photon imaging that can scan deeper within tissue and perform the imaging much faster than previously possible. |
