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….

Everyone is made up of approximately 100 trillion cells – if they were laid end to end, they would circle the globe 60 times. Most of these cells arise from…
Graphene quantum dots may offer a simple way to recycle waste carbon dioxide into valuable fuel rather than release it into the atmosphere or bury it…
“Light has effects,” says coordinator of the network Sibylle Schroer, “on plants and animals as well as on us humans.” Even small quantities of artificial…
SmartCalc.CTM determines the cell-to-module effects, or “CTM”, which occur when solar cells are integrated into a module. Starting with the cell power, the…
For years, small rechargeable lithium-ion batteries have reliably supplied billions of portable devices with energy. But manufacturers of high-energy…
Researchers have created a new magnetic mirror-based device that could one day help cosmologists discover new details about ripples in space-time known as…
