Dec. 5, 2023 — Seeing robots made with soft, flexible parts in action appears to lower people's anxiety about working with them or even being replaced by them. A study found that watching videos of a soft ...
Dec. 4, 2023 — Researchers are investigating the potential of a painless, needle-free vaccine delivery by ultrasound. The method uses cavitation, which is the formation and popping of bubbles in response to a sound ...
Nov. 29, 2023 — Enzymes from microorganisms can produce hydrogen (H2) under certain conditions, which makes them potential biocatalysts for biobased H2 technologies. In order to make this hydrogen production ...
Nov. 29, 2023 — Blood tests are a common, yet often painful, step in health care. But what if we could skip the needles altogether? Saliva and blood contain many of the same biomarkers, and collecting spit is as ...
Nov. 29, 2023 — Researchers have designed and developed a novel diagnostic device to detect traumatic brain injury (TBI) by shining a safe laser into the ...
Nov. 28, 2023 — Researchers characterize nearly 600 microbial genomes collected from goldmine. The study illuminates 'microbial dark matter' residing below the surface. Microbes divide into two groups: ...
Nov. 27, 2023 — Researchers have demonstrated a compact particle accelerator less than 20 meters long that produces an electron beam with an energy of 10 billion electron volts (10 GeV). There are only two other ...
Nov. 27, 2023 — Nearly a third of the world's mine tailings are stored within or near protected conservation areas, new research has ...
Nov. 27, 2023 — Hospital MRI scanners, using 3 Tesla magnets, provide poor spatial resolution in brain imaging. More recent 7T MRIs are better but used mainly in the rare research lab. Scientists have now ...
Nov. 23, 2023 — Experiments have provided the first direct evidence that electricity seems to flow through 'strange metals' in an unusual liquid-like ...
Nov. 22, 2023 — Engineers have achieved a world first by manufacturing the first back-contact micrometric photovoltaic ...
Nov. 22, 2023 — Researchers have devised a way to produce chemicals used in medicine and agriculture for a fraction of the usual cost. Using oxygen as a reagent and copper as a catalyst to break organic ...
Nov. 22, 2023 — Tandem solar cells based on perovskite semiconductors convert sunlight to electricity more efficiently than conventional silicon solar cells. In order to make this technology ready for the market, ...
Nov. 22, 2023 — Researchers create transistors combining silicon with biological silk, using common microprocessor manufacturing methods. The silk protein can be easily modified with other chemical and biological ...
Nov. 21, 2023 — Some enzymes, such as the one derived from fungi and investigated in this study, are able to produce valuable substances such as the fragrance (R)-1-phenylethanol. To this end, they convert a less ...
Nov. 21, 2023 — Researchers have developed a new method for the accurate determination of the water content of water-soluble compounds. This plays a significant role in various areas, including determining drug ...
Nov. 20, 2023 — Scientists have pioneered a novel approach to develop intelligent healthcare sensors using various gold nanowires. ...
Nov. 20, 2023 — Quantum scientists have discovered a rare phenomenon that could hold the key to creating a 'perfect switch' in quantum devices which flips between being an insulator and ...
Nov. 20, 2023 — Biological materials are made of individual components, including tiny motors that convert fuel into motion. This creates patterns of movement, and the material shapes itself with coherent flows by ...
Nov. 20, 2023 — A novel surgical implant was able to kill 87% of the bacteria that cause staph infections in laboratory tests, while remaining strong and compatible with surrounding tissue like current implants. The ...
