Random number generators are crucial to the encryption that protects our privacy and security when engaging in digital transactions such as buying products…
Chemists from Trinity College Dublin, in collaboration with RCSI, have devised a revolutionary new scanning technique that produces extremely high-res 3D…
Already in 1878, the first studies of sand moving on a vibrating plate were done by Ernst Chladni, known as the father of acoustics. Chladni discovered that…
At first sight, for many people conductive polymers are paradox, in particular, when we think of those plastics we are surrounded by in everyday life….
Could dragon trees serve as a source of inspiration for innovations in lightweight construction? A team of researchers at the University of Freiburg and the…
Most basic physics textbooks describe laser light in fairly simple terms: a beam travels directly from one point to another and, unless it strikes a mirror or…
MIT researchers and their colleagues are designing an imaging system that can read closed books.
Earth requires fuel to drive plate tectonics, volcanoes and its magnetic field. Like a hybrid car, Earth taps two sources of energy to run its engine:…
Agricultural landscapes in Germany have lost much of their diversity being dominated by crops such as maize and rapeseed today. This trend has also had an…
Perovskites are optically active, semiconducting compounds that are known to display intriguing electronic, light-emitting and chemical properties. Over the…
“Whether the disease becomes manifest and when this occurs is not only due to lifestyle or genetic factors, but also due to traffic-related air pollution,”…
The government-backed effort, known as the Grain-for-Green Program, has transformed 28 million hectares (69.2 million acres) of cropland and barren scrubland…
The potential spectrum of applications of these “super connections” is extremely broad, ranging from metalwork in industry right through to safer implants in…
Open-pore metal foams offer greater heat transfer
Sensitive sensors and other electronic and optoelectronic components require reliable capsulations, which withstand long-lasting environmental difficulty. Such housings, with grommets for electrical connections in surroundings with low air or rather gas pressure and in the vacuum technology, require particularly high standards.
When cells grow and divide, they come into contact with other cells. This happens not only during development and regeneration and after injury, but also…
