| Researchers recreate deep-Earth conditions to see how iron copes with extreme stress Posted: 11 Nov 2021 12:43 PM PST New observations of the atomic structure of iron reveal it undergoes 'twinning' under extreme stress and pressure. |
| Using mechanical tools improves our language skills, study finds Posted: 11 Nov 2021 12:42 PM PST Research has revealed a correlation between being particularly proficient in tool use and having good syntactic ability. A new study has now shown that both skills rely on the same neurological resources, which are located in the same brain region. Furthermore, motor training using a tool improves our ability to understand the syntax of complex sentences and -- vice-versa -- syntactic training improves our proficiency in using tools. |
| Machine learning refines earthquake detection capabilities Posted: 11 Nov 2021 10:04 AM PST Researchers are applying machine learning algorithms to help interpret massive amounts of ground deformation data collected with Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) satellites; the new algorithms will improve earthquake detection. |
| First quantum simulation of baryons Posted: 11 Nov 2021 10:03 AM PST Researchers performed the first-ever simulation of baryons -- fundamental quantum particles -- on a quantum computer. |
| CRISPR: Strategy refines genetic base editors Posted: 11 Nov 2021 10:03 AM PST A new strategy seeks to avoid gene-editing errors by fine-tuning specific CRISPR-base editing parameters in advance. |
| CRISPR screen identifies new anti-inflammatory drug target Posted: 11 Nov 2021 10:03 AM PST A metabolic enzyme that has been studied in cancer biology and is important for T cell function may offer a new target for anti-inflammatory therapeutics, researchers have discovered. They report that inhibiting or genetically deleting the enzyme, called MTHFD2, reduced disease severity in multiple inflammatory disease models. |
| New sensor detects ever smaller nanoparticles Posted: 11 Nov 2021 10:02 AM PST Nanoparticles are omnipresent in our environment: Viruses in ambient air, proteins in the body, as building blocks of new materials for electronics, or in surface coatings. Visualizing these smallest particles is a problem: They are so small that they can hardly be seen under an optical microscope. Researchers have now developed a sensor that not only detects nanoparticles, but also determines their condition and tracks their movements in space. |
| Crushed resistance: Tectonic plate sinking into a subduction zone Posted: 11 Nov 2021 10:02 AM PST Geophysicists can use a new model to explain the behavior of a tectonic plate sinking into a subduction zone in the Earth's mantle: the plate becomes weak and thus more deformable when mineral grains on its underside are shrunk in size. |
| A personalized exosuit for real-world walking Posted: 10 Nov 2021 11:53 AM PST Researchers have developed a new approach in which robotic exosuit assistance can be calibrated to an individual and adapt to a variety of real-world walking tasks in a matter of seconds. The bioinspired system uses ultrasound measurements of muscle dynamics to develop a personalized and activity-specific assistance profile for users of the exosuit. |
| New scalable method resolves materials joining in solid-state batteries Posted: 10 Nov 2021 10:16 AM PST Scientists have developed a scalable, low-cost method to improve the joining of materials in solid-state batteries, resolving one of the big challenges in the commercial development of safe, long-lived energy storage systems. |
| How prolonged radiation exposure damages nuclear reactors Posted: 08 Nov 2021 12:56 PM PST New research could help in boosting the efficiency of nuclear power plants in the near future. By using a combination of physics-based modeling and advanced simulations, they found the key underlying factors that cause radiation damage to nuclear reactors, which could then provide insight into designing more radiation-tolerant, high-performance materials. |
