| Exotic quantum particles — less magnetic field required Posted: 15 Dec 2021 08:33 AM PST Researchers have observed exotic fractional states at low magnetic field in twisted bilayer graphene for the first time. |
| Quantum theory needs complex numbers Posted: 15 Dec 2021 08:28 AM PST An international team of researchers shows through a concrete theoretical experiment that the prediction by standard complex quantum theory cannot be expressed by its real counterpart and ratifies its need of complex numbers. |
| Making apple spirits taste better Posted: 15 Dec 2021 05:20 AM PST The holiday season is a time of celebrations and festive drinks, some of which are made with apple liquors. These classic spirits have a long history, and surprisingly, many decisions about their processing are still subjectively determined. Now, researchers report that measuring the liquor's conductivity could give a more objective assessment, and they also found a way to make the process more energy-efficient. |
| E-waste recycling emits emerging synthetic antioxidants Posted: 15 Dec 2021 05:20 AM PST Manufacturers add synthetic antioxidants to plastics, rubbers and other polymers to make them last longer. However, the health effects of these compounds, and how readily they migrate into the environment, are largely unknown. Now, researchers have detected a broad range of emerging synthetic antioxidants, called hindered phenol and sulfur antioxidants, in dust from electronic waste (e-waste) recycling workshops, possibly posing risks for the workers inside. |
| Identifying schools with high lead levels in drinking water Posted: 15 Dec 2021 05:20 AM PST Consuming lead can cause health problems for anyone, but children are particularly vulnerable because the element can interfere with their growth and development. While water systems will soon be required to measure lead levels in school tap water, it's not clear how these measurements should be interpreted. Researchers have now used real-world data to determine an approach for identifying schools likely to have problematic lead levels. |
| Physics of coral as an indicator of reef health Posted: 14 Dec 2021 07:42 AM PST New research shows that physics measurements of just a small portion of reef can be used to assess the health of an entire reef system. The findings may help scientists grasp how these important ecosystems will respond to a changing climate. |
| Creating the human-robotic dream team Posted: 14 Dec 2021 07:42 AM PST Using autonomous vehicle guidelines, a team has developed a system to improve interactions between people and robots. The way people interact safely with robots is at the forefront of today's research related to automation and manufacturing, explains a researcher. She is one of several researchers who are working to develop systems that allow humans and robots to interact safely and efficiently. |
| Air flow key to ensuring black soldier fly larvae thrive as a sustainable food source Posted: 13 Dec 2021 10:32 AM PST New research demonstrates how using airflow can keep black soldier fly larvae, an important animal protein source, from overheating while feeding as a collective. |
| Posted: 13 Dec 2021 09:18 AM PST Researchers have demonstrated a proof-of-concept modification to enable standard MRI systems to detect frequencies associated with the presence of sodium-23 ions. This low-cost and convenient approach requires the installation of a radio-frequency repeater inside the magnetic bore of an MRI machine. The wide applicability of this method for sodium and other nuclei may allow advanced medical imaging to be performed on existing machines, and substantially reduce MRI scanner upgrade costs for hospitals. |
| N-type conductive tin sulfide thin films: Towards environmentally friendly solar cells Posted: 13 Dec 2021 09:18 AM PST Abundant, safe, and environmentally friendly, tin sulfide is predicted to be used in next generation solar cell panels. Now, a research group has used impurity doping to fabricate n-type conductive tin sulfide thin films, paving the way for their use in solar cells. |
| Size doesn’t matter: Rock composition determines how deadly a meteorite impact is Posted: 13 Dec 2021 09:18 AM PST A new study has found that the minerology of the rocks that a meteorite hits, rather than the size of the impact, determines how deadly an impact it will have. |
| The changing patterns of DNA microcapsules Posted: 13 Dec 2021 09:16 AM PST Biophysicists have found ways to make and manipulate capsule-like DNA structures that could be used in the development of artificial molecular systems. Such systems could function, for example, inside the human body. |
