Students and faculty at Vanderbilt University fabricated these tiny Archimedes’ spirals and then used ultrafast lasers at Vanderbilt and the Pacific Northwest…
The synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with a view to their industrial-scale production, is attracting heavy scientific interest. Their unique chemical…
Increasing demand from high technology sectors for better approaches to industrial production is prompting the emergence of a new generation of chemical…
The prototype antenna consists of a fluorescent tube that connects to the router through a tuned wire coil in a sleeve slipped over one end.
The monitors can now transmit USB and video signals over long distances without requiring a KVM. Unlike traditional technology, the Ethernet interface enables…
In northwestern Greenland, glaciers flow from the main ice sheet to the ocean in see-sawing seasonal patterns. The ice generally flows faster in the summer…
In a paper published in the journal Icarus, the researchers use state-of-the-art computer models to simulate the dynamics of comet impacts on the lunar soil….
The findings, reported in the journal Physical Review Letters, involve the formation of plasmoids in the hot, charged plasma gas that fuels fusion reactions….
The bunyavirus family includes five different groups of viruses which trigger serious illnesses in humans and animals and which can also cause significant…
“There are, of course, lots of problems with extractive industries – oil, natural gas and mineral mining – in Africa. But I have explored welfare determinants…
Today's computer chips pack billions of tiny transistors onto a plate of silicon within the width of a fingernail. Each transistor, just tens of nanometers…
“The discovery opens the pathway to systematically improving the new material to outperform the current permanent magnets,” said Shiv Khanna, Ph.D., a…
Recent forecasts on the impacts of climate change on the world's coral reefs–especially ones generated from oceanic surface temperature data gathered by…
In the June issue of GSA Today, Kathleen Benison of West Virginia University and Brenda Bowen of the University of Utah write that the limited volume of…
“Removal of any one of the proteins results in an increase in cellular fat content, which is analogous to obesity,” says study coauthor Bader Al-Anzi, a…
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in men and women worldwide, accounting for 17 million deaths annually. Current treatment strategies…
