| Breakup of a single chemical bond measured Posted: 04 Oct 2021 05:34 PM PDT Using advanced microscopy techniques, researchers have recorded the breaking of a single chemical bond between a carbon atom and an iron atom on different molecules. |
| Calculating the path of cancer Posted: 04 Oct 2021 11:03 AM PDT Scientists are using a new mathematical tool to predict how combinations of genetic mutations cause different types of tumors. |
| Precious metals from electronic waste in seconds Posted: 04 Oct 2021 11:03 AM PDT Flash Joule heating recovers valuable and toxic metals from electronic waste. The process allows for "urban mining" of resources that could be a win for the environment as well as for manufacturers. |
| Scientists confirm decrease in Pluto’s atmospheric density Posted: 04 Oct 2021 11:02 AM PDT When Pluto passed in front of a star on the night of August 15, 2018, astronomers deployed telescopes at numerous sites in the U.S. and Mexico to observe Pluto's atmosphere as it was briefly backlit by the well-placed star. Scientists used this occultation event to measure the overall abundance of Pluto's tenuous atmosphere and found compelling evidence that it is beginning to disappear, refreezing back onto its surface as it moves farther away from the Sun. |
| Specific UV light wavelength could offer low-cost, safe way to curb COVID-19 spread Posted: 04 Oct 2021 08:51 AM PDT A specific wavelength of ultraviolet (UV) light is not only extremely effective at killing the virus which causes COVID-19, but is also safer for use in public spaces, finds new research. |
| Induced flaws in quantum materials could enhance superconducting properties Posted: 04 Oct 2021 08:51 AM PDT In a surprising discovery, an international team of scientists found that deformations in quantum materials that cause imperfections in the crystal structure can actually improve the material's superconducting and electrical properties. |
| Posted: 04 Oct 2021 08:51 AM PDT How do apples grow that distinctive shape? Now, a team of mathematicians and physicists have used observations, lab experiments, theory and computation to understand the growth and form of the cusp of an apple. |
| Foundational step shows quantum computers can be better than the sum of their parts Posted: 04 Oct 2021 08:51 AM PDT Researchers have experimentally demonstrated, for the first time, that an assembly of quantum computing pieces -- a logical qubit -- can be better than the worst parts used to make it. The team shared how they took this landmark step toward reliable, practical quantum computers by implementing the Bacon-Shor code and a fault-tolerant design on an ion trap-based quantum computer. |
| Breakthrough in droplet manipulation Posted: 04 Oct 2021 07:43 AM PDT Researchers have made a key breakthrough in droplet manipulation. They have discovered an innovative way to navigate liquids on a surface in the absence of external force or energy. |
| Comb breathalyzer is now a thousandfold more sensitive to disease biomarkers Posted: 04 Oct 2021 07:42 AM PDT Scientists have boosted the sensitivity of their decade-old frequency comb breathalyzer a thousandfold and can detect additional biomarkers of disease -- four now, with the potential for six more. When validated and engineered into a portable design, the comb system could offer real-time, noninvasive analysis of human breath to detect and monitor diseases. |
| Sandwich-style construction: Toward ultra-low-energy exciton electronics Posted: 04 Oct 2021 07:42 AM PDT A new 'sandwich-style' fabrication process placing a semiconductor only one atom thin between two mirrors has allowed Australian researchers to make a significant step towards ultra-low energy electronics based on the light-matter hybrid particles exciton-polaritons. The breakthrough evidence of robust, dissipationless propagation of exciton-polaritons, coupled excitons in atomically-thin material to light, demonstrating for the first time long-range propagation without lost dissipation of energy, at room temperature. |
| Growing droplets in the matrix Posted: 04 Oct 2021 07:41 AM PDT The mechanism of molecular self-organization was assessed in a new model. In their study, scientists simulated how environmental factors such as temperature influence the size of oil droplets in elastic matrices. The study will also help understanding droplet formation in biological cells, where biological molecules self-organize in condensates. |
| Travelling fires pose an underestimated risk to open building spaces Posted: 04 Oct 2021 07:41 AM PDT New research has shown that traveling fires pose a risk to the structures of large open building spaces over 100m2. |
| Scientists look to nature to discover method for installing sulfur into complex molecules Posted: 01 Oct 2021 10:02 AM PDT A discovery of a new family of enzymes enriches the toolbox needed to engineer sulfur-containing compounds in the laboratory. |
| A tool to interrogate a new class of drugs Posted: 30 Sep 2021 05:23 AM PDT Reactive electrophilic drugs like Tecfidera, approved for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis, show a lot of potential but are also mystery. Scientists have now used an innovative chemical method to uncover the biological mechanisms of Tecfidera, providing a powerful tool for exploring other reactive electrophilic drugs. |
