Researchers from the University of Houston have devised a new machine learning algorithm that is efficient enough to run on a personal computer and predict the…
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will enable astrophysicists to observe gravitational waves emitted by black holes as they collide with or capture…
Nanocages are highly interesting molecular constructs, from the point of view of both fundamental science and possible applications. The cavities of these…
Mercury is the smallest planet of our solar system, and it is closest to the sun at a distance of only about 58 million kilometers. As a result, the…
The Fraunhofer FEP presented the first ultra-low-power OLED microdisplays two years ago at electronica 2016. These microdisplays score thanks to their…
The Galapagos archipelago is one of the most famous groups of islands in the world. Many of the animal and plant species are unique because of the islands'…
Dresden Fraunhofer engineers have developed a so-called “multi-organ chip”. This microsystem from the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS…
An unprecedented, close examination of the electron has opened a window into the mind-bending nature of particles, energy and forces at infinitesimal scales.
Dr Tasuku Honjo won the 2018 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for discovering the immune T-cell protein PD-1. This discovery led to a set of anti-cancer…
Photochemical reactions are one of the most eco-friendly ways of producing “green fuel”. They don't consume a lot of energy for heating the raw materials or…
Utah State University researchers Paul Rogers and Darren McAvoy have conducted the first complete assessment of the Pando aspen clone and the results show…
The extraordinary flying ability of dandelion seeds is possible thanks to a form of flight that has not been seen before in nature, research has revealed.
Led by Kenji Ogino, a professor at Graduate School of Bio-Applications and Systems Engineering at TUAT, Japan, the team found that adding polystyrene, commonly…
We live in an age of long-range information, transmitted either by underground optical fibre or by radio frequency from satellites. But the throughput today is…
In over 450,000 new cases of antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis that likely appeared, only 25% were detected. A study by an international research team*…
Most lithium-ion batteries on the market come in cylindrical or rectangular shapes. Therefore, when a manufacturer is designing a product — such as a cell…
