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….
A research group led by Professor Hiroshi Kawarada (Faculty of Science and Engineering) has developed a highly efficient transistor used to reduce energy…
Superconductors show zero resistance below the critical temperature and below the critical current. They are thus more energy efficient than conventional…
A computational technique to analyze how water vapor condenses on a surface patterned with an array of tiny pillars has been co-developed by an A*STAR…
In doing so, the teams enhanced our understanding of processes that are important for future TMR data storage devices and other spintronic components. Their…
Compact, sensitive and fast nanodetectors are considered to be somewhat of a “Holy Grail” sought by many researchers around the world. And now a team of…
Currently, photoelectric smoke sensors detect larger smoke particles found in dense smoke, but are not as sensitive to small particles of smoke from rapidly…
“Fundamentally, intrinsic strains on crumpled graphene could allow modulation of electrical and optical properties of graphene,” explained SungWoo Nam, an…
Although most materials slightly expand when heated, there is a new class of rubber-like material that not only self-stretches upon cooling; it reverts back to…
The future of electronics could lie in a material from its past, as researchers from The Ohio State University work to turn germanium–the material of 1940s…
Scientists used supercomputers to find a new class of materials that possess an exotic state of matter known as the quantum spin Hall effect. The researchers…
Imagine thousands of copies of a single protein organizing into a coat of chainmail armor that protects the wearer from harsh and ever-changing environmental…
The new designs don’t make biological solar cells practical, yet. But they do take them out of the realm of “absurd” and place them squarely in the realm of…
The new portable ERESCO 300 MF4-R X-ray tube brings inspection time reduction and geometric magnification to film based and digital radiography.
Incredibly tough, slightly stretchy spider silk is a lightweight, biodegradable wonder material with numerous potential biomedical applications. But although…
'Antiaromatic compounds' is what chemists call a class of ring molecules which are extremely instable — the opposite of the highly stable aromatic…
By developing electrochromic polymer materials in a range of primary and secondary colors and combining them in specific blends, the researchers have covered…
