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….
The new device is at least 10 times more sensitive than existing technology, researchers say, can be tuned to sense different types of materials and is easy to…
If the rechargeable batteries are low, the discharged electrolyte fluid can simply be exchanged at the gas station for recharged fluid – as easy as refilling…
Because of their lightweight construction, fibre-reinforced composites offer particular advantages in the aviation sector. However, their more complex damage…

Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can…
For example, there should be no particles larger than five micrometers on the packaging film of food and medicines, as these could contaminate the contents….
Scientists have a long and unsuccessful history of attempting to convert hydrogen to a metal by squeezing it under incredibly high and steady pressures.Metallic hydrogen is predicted to be a high-temperature superconductor. A superconductor is a state of matter where electrons, and thus electricity, can flow indefinitely and without resistance….
The new method improves accuracy in calibrations of oscilloscopes, common test instruments that measure voltage in communications and electronics devices, and…
Its advantages are obvious: due to the fibre design the beam quality is close to perfect, hence best possible focus ability even with very long operating…
