Using 3D technology and interdisciplinary expertise, a research team has explored Buddhist temples in the remote Dolpo region of Nepal and digitized them for posterity In the high-altitude and extremely remote region of Dolpo in north-west Nepal, there are numerous Buddhist temples whose history dates back to the 11th century. The structures are threatened by earthquakes, landslides and planned infrastructure projects such as the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. There is also a lack of financial resources for long-term maintenance….
Now, researchers from Brown and Tsinghua University have added another boron nanostructure to the list. In a paper published in Nature Communications, they…
A team led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory used a simple process to implant atoms precisely into the top layers of ultra-thin…
Building satellites and spaceships is anything but cheap. One reason is the fact that cosmic technology must be designed far more fail-safe than on earth. In…
Stereolithography prints objects from CAD files out of a powder suspended in a liquid. Objects are built layer by layer out of this liquid by shining a light,…
One of the biggest challenges modern science faces today is the development of new, efficient and environmentally friendly technologies for converting chemical…
Dr. Philipp Kürnsteiner, Prof. Eric Jägle and their team at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (MPIE) designed, together with colleagues from the…
The technological maturity of batteries for electric cars and whether these make economic and environmental sense is still being questioned by critics today,…
In their search for new materials which can conduct electricity without any resistance, the so-called superconductors, many scientists now investigate…
In 2018 it was discovered that two layers of graphene twisted one with respect to the other by a “magic” angle show a variety of interesting quantum phases,…
A team of Korean researchers has developed a processing technology for maximizing energy densities of high-capacity batteries.
The new study, published in Nature Communications, focuses on a production method, based around mechanical abrasion, where multilayer structures are formed…
Ever more manufacturers and users are interested in the environmental impact that products have. The focus is not only on what a product can do but also on the…
Rare earth high-performance magnets are indispensable for a wide range of applications: from industrial motors, electronics, e-bikes to wind turbines and…
A joint research team from the University of Hong Kong (HKU), Institute of Physics at Chinese Academy of Science, Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory, Beihang…
Scientists at Laboratory of Organic Electronics, Linköping University, have developed an organic electrochemical transistor that they can use to measure and…
As part of his master's thesis at TU Graz, Philipp Eisele developed a concept for a collaborative robot in 2019, i.e. an industrial robot that works together…
