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….
Heart valves regulate the blood flow, to ensure the body is supplied with enough blood. If they don’t close properly any more, for example due to a heart…
Lead perovskites with white-light emission have been studied, but the photoluminescence quantum efficiencies (PLQEs) are low. However, the large-scale…
Physicists from the University of Warwick and the University of Washington have developed a technique to measure the energy and momentum of electrons in…
Research from Swansea University has found how plastics commonly found in food packaging can be recycled to create new materials like wires for electricity -…
Finding inexpensive solutions for propelling CubeSats is one of the most critical components of the rapidly growing industry of commercial launches of…
Metal-air batteries have been pursued as a successor to lithium-ion batteries due to their exceptional gravimetric energy densities. They could potentially…
Organic light-emitting diodes are components that no longer consist of compounds containing the semiconducting material gallium, but of so-called organic…
Control Engineers of the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, in collaboration with colleagues from the Jülich Research Center, have developed a method for…
Water and energy production is deeply intertwined, says Wenbin Wang, a Ph.D. student in Peng Wang's labs at the University's Water Desalination and Reuse…
Wood-fiber materials are already being frequently used in the construction industry. The products used until now, such as fiberboard or oriented strand board,…
This material is an organic semiconductor with prospects for flexible electronics. It turned out that once the thin films undergo a transition from the crystal…
“Until now, you could look at a material's structure before exposing it to heat or load, then apply heat and load until it broke, followed by a microstructural…
The possibility of finding a compound that was metallically conductive, super-hard, and ultra-incompressible was long considered unlikely in science. It was…
“In the future energy system, electricity will be provided not by a small number of conventional power plants but by many wind and solar power plants with…
Solar cells are currently the world's most talked-about renewable energy source, and for any future sustainable energy system, it is crucial to know about the…
