| Making diversity, equity, inclusion integral part of physics education Posted: 04 Mar 2022 09:40 AM PST While many physics instructors are beginning to incorporate lessons on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the classroom, it can often feel like an add-on rather than an integral component of becoming a physicist. Scientists are helping to change this by presenting discussions and activities on DEI as a fundamental and essential part of physics training. The team created two approaches for DEI curriculum, replacing a question on a weekly homework assignment with a reflection essay on a topic important to physicists and including activities and discussions during a two-day unit on representation. |
| Researchers map magnetic fields in 3D, findings could improve device storage capacity Posted: 04 Mar 2022 09:40 AM PST Researchers have mapped magnetic fields in three dimensions, a major step toward solving what they call the 'grand challenge' of revealing 3D magnetic configuration in magnetic materials. The work has implications for improving diagnostic imaging and capacity in storage devices. |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2022 08:20 AM PST Major automotive manufacturers are ramping up production of electric trucks as a key strategy to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of their vehicles. |
| 'Fingerprint' machine learning technique identifies different bacteria in seconds Posted: 04 Mar 2022 07:10 AM PST Bacterial identification can take hours and often longer -- precious time when diagnosing infections and selecting appropriate treatments. There may be a quicker, more accurate process. By teaching a deep learning algorithm to identify the 'fingerprint' spectra of the molecular components of various bacteria, the researchers could classify various bacteria in different media with accuracies up to 98%. |
| Predicting solar cell performance from terahertz and microwave spectroscopy Posted: 04 Mar 2022 07:09 AM PST Many semiconducting materials are possible candidates for solar cells. In recent years, perovskite semiconductors in particular have attracted attention, as they are both inexpensive and easy to process and enable high efficiencies. Now a new study shows how terahertz (TRTS) and microwave spectroscopy (TRMC) can be used to reliably determine the mobility and lifetime of the charge carriers in new semiconducting materials. Using these measurement data it is possible to predict the potential efficiency of the solar cell in advance and to classify the losses in the finished cell. |
| Bendy robotic arm twisted into shape with help of augmented reality Posted: 04 Mar 2022 07:09 AM PST Researchers have designed a malleable robotic arm that can be guided into shape by a person using augmented reality (AR) goggles. |
| Cutting losses: Engineering research equips solar industry for improved performance Posted: 04 Mar 2022 06:03 AM PST Researchers have succeeded in identifying a technique that makes cadmium, selenium and telluride (CdSeTe) solar cells more efficient than silicon cells. |
| Robot 'bugs' that can go just about anywhere Posted: 03 Mar 2022 04:14 PM PST Researchers have created tiny bug-inspired robots that can carry out tasks in hard-to-reach spaces and inhospitable environments. |
| How can the computer chip predict the future of gene synthesis? Posted: 03 Mar 2022 01:20 PM PST Creating synthetic life could be easily within our grasp soon based on a comparison with the evolution of computer chips. Computer programming and gene synthesis appear to share little in common. But according to an expert, leaps forward in technology in the former make him optimistic that wide scale gene manufacture is achievable. |
| Posted: 03 Mar 2022 08:22 AM PST Researchers develop tool that 'audits' the results of studies that examine interplay between variables. Using this approach, researchers identify inconsistent findings in one-third of previous association studies of gut microbiome and disease. The software can help researchers check the reliability of their own findings before submitting them for publication. Association studies are critical in paving the way to further research into disease causes and mechanisms of dysfunction. |
