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….
Ball screws or ball screw drives are gear arrangements with rolling balls inserted between a screw and nut element. They are used to translate rotational…
Up and down, up and down. The points of light alternate back and forth in lockstep. They are produced by glowing molecules affixed to the ends of tiny robot…
Heat power plants (HPPs) supply electrical energy to many cities in the world. The production of heat and electricity starts with burning coal in a combustion…
Researchers previously thought that acoustic tractor beams were fundamentally limited to levitating small objects as all the previous attempts to trap…
Just as the ability of one nerve cell to signal another depends on how often the cells have communicated in the recent past, the resistance of a memristor…
Northwestern University researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind technique for creating entirely new classes of optical materials and devices that could…
Materials scientists, led by a team at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, designed a tiny tube that rolls up and zips closed.
The calculation is simple: the better a building is insulated, the less heat is lost in winter – and the less energy is needed to achieve a comfortable room…
Climate protection and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions have been on top of global development agendas. Accordingly, research and development projects…
The Solar Cells Laboratory of the Calibration and Test Center (CalTeC) at the Institute for Solar Energy Research (ISFH) has been added to the list of…
Nature has produced exquisite composite materials–wood, bone, teeth, and shells, for example–that combine light weight and density with desirable mechanical…
A little hBN in ceramics could give them outstanding properties, according to a Rice University scientist.
The research, to be published in Science, shows how well scientists can predict the properties and functionality of materials, allowing us to explore their…
The terms “handmade” and “high tech” are not commonly found in the same sentence, but they both apply to a Rice University method to quickly produce fibers…
Many cosmetic products such as body peelings or deodorants contain tiny plastic particles, so-called microplastics, for example made of polyethylene (PE) and…
With the help of electronic microcopy, scientists have managed to track defects in the surface of two-dimensional photonic crystals, but there was a problem…
