A collaborative team of chemists and engineers from Michigan Tech lays the groundwork for this vision in two new papers. In the Royal Society of Chemistry's…
Researchers playing with a cloud of ultracold atoms uncovered behavior that bears a striking resemblance to the universe in microcosm. Their work, which forges…
Repairing major load-bearing bones such as those in the leg can be a long and uncomfortable process.
Now, engineers at the University of Washington have developed a new HD video streaming method that doesn't need to be plugged in. Their prototype skips the…
Scientists have re-created brain neurons of obese patients using “disease in a dish” technology, offering a new method to study the brain's role in obesity and…
As Curiosity rover marches across Mars, the red planet's watery past comes into clearer focus.
In FRAP assays (FRAP: Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching), the time that fluorescent molecules need to replenish a bleached-out area is measured,…
In the eyes of the human beholder, the consumption of one's own offspring is not a particularly nice act, and it is also often viewed as maladaptive, that is,…
Researchers at Aalto University and Cambridge University have made a significant breakthrough in computational science by combining atomic-level modelling and…
Scientists at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) together with colleagues from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and the University of Virginia…
Collaborative research team of Prof. Jun Takeda and Associate Prof. Ikufumi Katayama in the laboratory of Yokohama National University (YNU) and Nippon…
Grow Monsters. Expandable water toys. Whatever you call them, they're plastic-like figurines that swell when placed in water.
“The notion of a coherent absorber was introduced in a paper published back in 2010. The authors showed that wave interference can be used to control the…
“It was surprising to me that so many fatalities occurred outside the flood zones,” says Sebastiaan Jonkman, a professor at Delft’s Hydraulic Engineering…
Axial piston pumps convert mechanical into hydraulic energy. On construction or agricultural machinery, they help to lift heavy loads or are part of industrial…
Researchers tracked how the epigenome changes after long-term exposure to cold temperatures, and how those changes cause energy-storing white fat cells to…
