| More microbes that can degrade plastics in places with heavy plastic pollution Posted: 14 Dec 2021 05:45 AM PST The number of microbial enzymes with the ability to degrade plastic is growing, in correlation with local levels of plastic pollution. That is the finding of a new study that measured samples of environmental DNA from around the globe. The results illustrate the impact plastic pollution is having on the environment, and hint at potential new solutions for managing the problem. |
| Boosting anti-cancer action by driving up immunity at tumor site Posted: 14 Dec 2021 05:45 AM PST Driving up the immune response at the site of a cancer tumor with nanotechnology may help enhance immunotherapy treatments in advanced stages of the disease, new research in mice suggests. |
| New method to measure spin waves brings us one step closer to spin superfluidity Posted: 13 Dec 2021 03:15 PM PST Researchers have demonstrated the ability to both excite and detect spin waves in a two-dimensional graphene magnet, but they couldn't measure any of the wave's specific properties. Now, researchers have demonstrated a new way to measure the quintessential properties of spin waves in graphene. |
| Posted: 13 Dec 2021 02:50 PM PST Engineers have developed the first optical oscilloscope, an instrument that is able to measure the electric field of light. The device converts light oscillations into electrical signals, much like hospital monitors convert a patient's heartbeat into electrical oscillation. |
| How organic neuromorphic electronics can think and act Posted: 13 Dec 2021 09:13 AM PST The human brain works differently than a computer - while the brain works with biological cells and electrical impulses, a computer uses silicon-based transistors. Scientists have equipped a toy robot with a smart and adaptive electrical circuit made of soft organic materials, similarly to the biological matter. With this bio-inspired approach, they were able to teach the robot to navigate independently through a maze using visual signs for guidance. |
