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….
Sandia National Laboratories first investigated the gold-silver-germanium alloy about 15 years ago as a possible bonding material in a new neutron tube…
Fast-growing trees, which are becoming an increasingly important source of renewable energy, are planted on Short Rotation Coppices (SRCs). In order to fulfil…
“For biologists, Geobacter’s behavior represents a paradigm shift. It goes against all that we are taught about biological electron transfer, which usually…
After the molybdenite chip, we now have molybdenite flash memory, a significant step forward in the use of this new material in electronics applications. The…
Unlike other processes, the laser beam is able to apply energy to a limited space in order to melt the glass solder precisely, thus generating a bond with…
For years, scientists around the world have dreamed of building a complete, functional, artificial cell. Though this vision is still a distant blur on the…
Today, the SeaGen power plant in a northern Irish narrows has an installed capacity of 1.2 megawatts (MW). The SeaGen-S will deliver two MW. The Welsh…
The transportation authorities are now planning to operate two lines exclusively with eBuses by the middle of 2013. During the Skiing World Championships in…
Because conventional coating processes are increasingly coming up against their technological limits and are often too costly, the Fraunhofer Institute for…
Flash memory is a dominant technology in this field, but its slow writing and erasing speed has led to extensive research into a next-generation nonvolatile…
The metasurfaces could make possible “planar photonics” devices and optical switches small enough to be integrated into computer chips for information…
GE's Power Conversion business (NYSE: GE) has signed a turnkey contract with the Lindoe Offshore Renewables Center (LORC), a Danish center for test of…
Scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) in Germany have created a new synthetic…
Phototransistors are a kind of transistors in which the incident light intensity can modulate the charge-carrier density in the channel. Compared with…
Main goal of the partnership is the development of a fuel cell product at local prices which will help to solve the electricity situation in India and other…
