| Experiment results confirm anomaly suggesting new physics possibility Posted: 16 Jun 2022 12:25 PM PDT New scientific results confirm an anomaly seen in previous experiments, which may point to an as-yet-unconfirmed new elementary particle, the sterile neutrino, or indicate the need for a new interpretation of an aspect of standard model physics, such as the neutrino cross section, first measured 60 years ago. |
| Researchers change the game when it comes to activity tracking Posted: 16 Jun 2022 12:25 PM PDT The creation of high-resolution extrusion printing -- think 3D printing but with ink that conducts electricity -- has enabled researchers to explore the potential of wearable human motion devices. Wearable technology -- smartwatches, heart monitors, sleep aid devices, even step counters -- have become part of everyday life. And researchers have now created even smaller, lighter and highly-accurate sensors that can be integrated into clothing and equipment. |
| Soy sauce's salt-enhancing peptides Posted: 16 Jun 2022 12:24 PM PDT Soy sauce deepens the flavor of soup stocks, gives stir-fried rice its sweet-salty glaze and makes a plate of dumplings absolutely enjoyable. But what exactly makes this complex, salty, umami sauce so tasty? Now, researchers have discovered the proteins and other compounds that give soy sauce its distinctive flavors and they say that proteins and peptides help make it salty. |
| Quantum simulator delivers new insight Posted: 16 Jun 2022 11:27 AM PDT A quantum simulator is giving physicists a clear look at spin-charge separation, a bizarre phenomenon in which two parts of indivisible particles called electrons travel at different speeds in extremely cold 1D wires. The research has implications for quantum computing and electronics with atom-scale wires. |
| Humans responsible for over 90% of world's oil slicks Posted: 16 Jun 2022 11:27 AM PDT Scientists mapping oil pollution across the Earth's oceans have found that more than 90% of chronic oil slicks come from human sources, a much higher proportion than previously estimated. |
| Once seen as fleeting, a new solar tech proves its lasting power Posted: 16 Jun 2022 11:27 AM PDT Researchers have developed the first perovskite solar cell with a commercially viable lifetime, marking a major milestone for an emerging class of renewable energy technology. The team projects their device can perform above industry standards for around 30 years, far more than the 20 years used as a threshold for viability for solar cells. |
| Diamonds are for quantum sensing Posted: 16 Jun 2022 09:16 AM PDT Researchers measured tiny magnetic fields with unprecedented speed. By monitoring spins at nitrogen-vacancy centers along using ultrafast spectroscopy, this work may lead to extremely accurate future quantum computers. |
| Let machines do the work: Automating semiconductor research with machine learning Posted: 16 Jun 2022 09:16 AM PDT The development of new thin semiconductor materials requires a quantitative analysis of a large amount of reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) data, which is time consuming and requires expertise. To tackle this issue, scientists identify machine learning techniques that can help automate RHEED data analysis. Their findings could greatly accelerate semiconductor research and pave the way for faster, energy efficient electronic devices. |
| Research extends the lifetime of molecules in organic flow batteries to practical values Posted: 16 Jun 2022 09:16 AM PDT Researchers have developed a new method to dramatically extend the lifetime of organic aqueous flow batteries, improving the commercial viability of a technology that has the potential to safely and inexpensively store energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar. |
| New solution for stem cell manufacturing Posted: 16 Jun 2022 07:19 AM PDT Researchers have developed a unique 3D printed system for harvesting stem cells from bioreactors. |
| Nanochannels light the way towards new medicine Posted: 16 Jun 2022 07:19 AM PDT To develop new drugs and vaccines, detailed knowledge about nature's smallest biological building blocks -- the biomolecules -- is required. Researchers are now presenting a groundbreaking microscopy technique that allows proteins, DNA and other tiny biological particles to be studied in their natural state in a completely new way. |
| Biotechnology platforms enable fast, customizable vaccine production Posted: 15 Jun 2022 06:13 PM PDT An examination of the COVID-related transition to biotechnology platform-based techniques for vaccine development concludes that such smart manufacturing techniques could in the future be applied to other viruses, potentially allowing vaccine development to keep pace with constantly evolving pathogens. |
| Introducing a transceiver that can tap into the higher frequency bands of 5G networks Posted: 15 Jun 2022 06:13 PM PDT A novel phased-array beamformer for the 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) band has been recently developed. The innovative design applies two well-known techniques -- the Doherty amplifier and digital predistortion -- to a mmWave phased-array transceiver and overcomes the issues in conventional designs, producing exceptional energy and area efficiency and outperforming other state-of-the-art 5G transceivers. |
| Inspired by palm trees, scientists develop hurricane-resilient wind turbines Posted: 15 Jun 2022 06:12 PM PDT New results from real-world tests of a downwind turbine could inform and improve the wind energy industry in a world with intensifying hurricanes and a greater demand for renewable energy. |
| The benefits of exercise in a pill? Science is closer to that goal Posted: 15 Jun 2022 08:32 AM PDT Researchers have identified a molecule in the blood that is produced during exercise and can effectively reduce food intake and obesity in mice. |
| Inadequate charging networks could thwart EV adoption goals Posted: 15 Jun 2022 07:28 AM PDT Encouraging the large-scale adoption of EVs is seen by many governments as a key pillar of efforts to build a carbon-neutral economy. But failing to properly plan a resilient network of charging stations could be an Achilles' heel that undermines efforts to encourage car owners to switch to electric vehicles. |
