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….
In the 1960's, Peltier devices were primarily made from Bismuth-Telluride (Bi2Te3) or Antimony-Telluride (Sb2Te3) alloys and had a peak efficiency (zT) of 1.1,…
In order to prevent smoldering fires in PV systems, an AFDD permanently measures the intensity and duration of high-frequency noise associated with the voltage…
The rising number of electric vehicles on the road is putting grid operators under pressure. Low voltage networks for domestic consumers are not designed for…
For example, the milk pasteurization line is stopped once again and cleaned after just one operating cycle because, for example, milk proteins have formed…
When weighing the pluses and minuses of your skin add this to the plus column: Your skin – like that of all vertebrates – is remarkably resistant to tearing….
The great development of graphene is closely related to the unique electronic structure, that is, Dirac cones. The cone which represents linear energy…
It’s self-evident that cars must become lighter in order to reduce fuel consumption. For most car designers this principally means body parts, but the…
Siemens is extending its Sidoor range with a gearless drive system for elevator doors. The Sidoor ATE500E model introduces EC (electronically commutated)…
Scientists first reported carbon nanotubes in the early 1990s. Since then, these tiny cylinders have been part of the quest to reduce the size of technological…
Bioplastics made from protein sources such as albumin and whey have shown significant antibacterial properties, findings that could eventually lead to their…
High levels of mechanical stress reduce the lifespan of construction components. This is true for all types of materials; exposure to mechanical stress is a…
Since 2011, the Federal government has invested more than $250 million in research and development, and innovation infrastructure to support the use of…
UALR will roll out a new Trojan Transit system on Monday, March 30, designed to enhance safety and sustainability initiatives and help students and employees…
Now, a team of experimentalists led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has demonstrated an energy-efficient desalination technology…
ACS, the world's largest scientific society, is holding the meeting here through Thursday. It features nearly 11,000 presentations on a wide range of science…
