| How schools of ‘microswimmers’ can increase their cargo capacity Posted: 20 Aug 2021 09:01 AM PDT In a new study, researchers found that, when a school of microscopic, self-propelled droplets known as 'microswimmers' moves in the same direction inside a narrow channel, they can increase the cargo capacity -- the number of particles they can carry -- by 10-fold. Their findings have broad implications, from drug delivery systems to materials with active coatings. |
| We can expect more emissions from oil refineries in the near-term future, analysis finds Posted: 20 Aug 2021 08:11 AM PDT A global inventory has revealed that CO2 emissions from oil refineries were 1.3 Gigatons (Gt) in 2018 and could be as large as 16.5 Gt from 2020 to 2030. Based on the results, the researchers recommend distinct mitigation strategies for refineries in different regions and age groups. |
| New imaging tool visualizes cell functions in a microphysiological system Posted: 20 Aug 2021 08:10 AM PDT A microphysiological system (MPS) is a 3D organ construct using human cells. They show us how organs respond to drugs and environmental stimuli. Now, researchers have developed a new imaging tool for MPS using scanning probe microscopy. |
| Integrative approach by biologists increases accuracy of mosquito vector surveillance Posted: 20 Aug 2021 08:10 AM PDT A team of researchers has developed an integrative approach that increases the accuracy of mosquito surveillance and management. The two-pronged strategy boosts accuracy in sampling by including mosquito larvae, and species identification using short DNA sequences. |
| Seeing both the forest and the trees: Trans-scale scope shows big picture of tiny targets Posted: 20 Aug 2021 06:34 AM PDT Researchers built a microscope system that can image over a million cells at once. The technology allowed the team to simultaneously observe the actions of individual cells as well as the global features of cell populations. This research may significantly increase the ability of scientists to study rare cellular functions. |
| Effect of ‘eddy killing’ in oceans is no longer a matter of guesswork Posted: 19 Aug 2021 04:50 PM PDT Applying a new coarse-graining, spatial method of analysis to satellite imagery, scientists provide a direct measure of the impact of wind driven eddy-killing on the kinetic energy of ocean currents -- a continual loss of 50 gigawatts, equivalent to the detonation of a Hiroshima nuclear bomb every 20 minutes, year round. |
| Partition function zeros are ‘shortcut’ to thermodynamic calculations on quantum computers Posted: 19 Aug 2021 11:23 AM PDT A study has developed a new method that enables quantum computers to measure the thermodynamic properties of systems by calculating the zeros of the partition function. |
| Groundbreaking visualization of atomic movements Posted: 19 Aug 2021 07:27 AM PDT Researchers have developed a novel method for imaging vibrations and movements of atoms in catalysts. The new method makes it possible to identify and locate the individual atoms in the nanoparticle, even if they are vibrating and moving. |
| Water-driven soft actuator developed Posted: 18 Aug 2021 10:05 AM PDT A research team has developed a soft robot based on a water-driven hydrogel actuator. |
