| Adding sound to quantum simulations Posted: 10 Nov 2021 10:16 AM PST Aiming to emulate the quantum characteristics of materials more realistically, researchers have figured out a way to create a lattice of light and atoms that can vibrate -- bringing sound to an otherwise silent experiment. |
| Needle free glucose monitoring a step closer for diabetics Posted: 10 Nov 2021 10:15 AM PST A needle-free technology that would allow people with diabetes to measure blood sugar levels without having to stick a needle into their fingertips is a step closer to reality. |
| Nuclear radiation used to transmit digital data wirelessly Posted: 10 Nov 2021 10:15 AM PST Engineers have successfully transferred digitally encoded information wirelessly using nuclear radiation instead of conventional technology. The researchers measured the spontaneous emission of fast neutrons from californium-252, a radioactive isotope produced in nuclear reactors. Several examples of information, i.e., a word, the alphabet and a random number selected blindly, were encoded serially into the modulation of the neutron field and the output decoded on a laptop which recovered the encoded information on screen. Fast neutrons have an advantage over conventional electromagnetic waves, which are significantly weakened by transmission through materials including metals. |
| New method to detect Tatooine-like planets validated Posted: 10 Nov 2021 10:15 AM PST A new method has allowed scientists to quickly detect a transiting planet with two suns. |
| New computer model is a key step toward low-temperature preservation of 3D tissues, organs Posted: 10 Nov 2021 07:46 AM PST Medical science is a key step closer to the cryopreservation of brain slices used in neurological research, pancreatic cells for the treatment of diabetes and even whole organs thanks to a new computer model that predicts how tissue's size will change during the preservation process. |
| Major cities could be close to self-sustaining through fully integrated solar Posted: 10 Nov 2021 07:46 AM PST Net zero carbon is within reach for a major Australian city through comprehensive adoption of photovoltaics in built environment, new modelling has shown. |
| Plant-based gummy candy helps vegans and vegetarians get their vitamins Posted: 10 Nov 2021 07:46 AM PST Worldwide, millions of people follow vegan and vegetarian diets for religious, ethical, environmental or economic reasons. While these diets have purported health benefits, they can also lack essential nutrients, such as vitamins B12 and D3, if not well-planned or supplemented correctly. Now, researchers have packed a strawberry-flavored gummy with these vitamins, formulating it without any animal products so vegans and vegetarians can reach their recommended daily allowances (RDA). |
| Tread lightly: ‘Eggshell planets’ possible around other stars Posted: 10 Nov 2021 07:46 AM PST Strange 'eggshell planets' are among the rich variety of exoplanets possible, according to a study. These rocky worlds have an ultra-thin outer brittle layer and little to no topography. Such worlds are unlikely to have plate tectonics, raising questions as to their habitability. Planetary geologists have said at least three such worlds found during previous astronomical surveys may already be known. |
| Identifying individual proteins using nanopores and supercomputers Posted: 10 Nov 2021 07:45 AM PST The amount and types of proteins our cells produce tell us important details about our health. Researchers have shown that it is possible to identify individual proteins with single-amino acid resolution and nearly 100% accuracy. Their method uses nanopores -- engineered openings that generate an electrical signal when molecules are pulled through by a specific enzyme. |
| Posted: 10 Nov 2021 07:42 AM PST Using data gathered by the Large Area Telescope onboard NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and a stacking technique combining signals too weak to be observed on their own, researchers detected gamma rays from UFOs -- ultra-fast outflows -- in several nearby galaxies, providing a basis for scientists to understand what happened in our own Milky Way galaxy. |
| Seizure forecasting with wrist-worn devices possible for people with epilepsy Posted: 09 Nov 2021 04:33 PM PST A new study found patterns could be identified in patients who wear a special wristwatch monitoring device for six to 12 months, allowing about 30 minutes of warning before a seizure occurred. This worked well most of the time for five of six patients studied. |
| Posted: 09 Nov 2021 04:32 PM PST The images and accompanying data available for training artificial intelligence (AI) to spot skin cancer are insufficient and include very few images of darker skin, according to new research. |
