Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and their collaborators used neutron scattering to uncover magnetic excitations in the…
Chemically the same, graphite and diamonds are as physically distinct as two minerals can be, one opaque and soft, the other translucent and hard. What makes…
Since the 1950s, urban sprawl in Switzerland has been progressing virtually unchecked. The trend towards greater levels of soil consumption is expected to…
Due to the fluctuating power production and periods of peak demand, node potentials and line currents in the power grid can reach critical values which may be inacceptable for grid infrastructure. The proposed hierarchical model- based predictive control proposes optimal consumption constraints to consumers at critical times in order to secure reliability and safety of the power grid.
Coronary or peripheral bypasses are the most frequently performed vascular operations. Although one million patients per year and around the world, undergo…
A Duke University study of coal ash ponds near 21 power plants in five Southeastern U.S. states has found evidence that nearby surface waters and groundwater…
The results, published today in Science Advances, could help researchers mimic the effect for reflective coatings, fiber optics or other applications.
“This model is a major improvement in our understanding of the spread of diseases from animals to people. We hope it can be used to help communities prepare…
An ultrathin film that is both transparent and highly conductive to electric current has been produced by a cheap and simple method devised by an international…
Researchers are investigating a new material that might help in nuclear fuel recycling and waste reduction by capturing certain gases released during…
Nanoparticles are extremely small particles that can penetrate into remote parts of the body. While researchers are investigating various strategies for…
In Germany, the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) amounts to approximately 1.3 million tons per year *. These emissions are mainly caused by combustion…
