UChicago Pritzker Molecular Engineering Prof. Y. Shirley Meng’s Laboratory for Energy Storage and Conversion has created the world’s first anode-free sodium
Canon developed its own technology for forming large, high-purity artificial fluorite crystals using fluorite ore as a raw material.
Europe's new heavy-lift rocket, Ariane 6, made its inaugural flight from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana at 16:00 local time on 9 July (20:00 BST, 21:00 CEST).
Researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed a method to produce very low emission concrete at scale – an innovation that could be transformative in the transition to net zero.
In less than two years, 'Z-Anatomy' gathered more than 5.000 tridimensional anatomical structures and labels with more than 3500 definitions in two fully functional open source viewers. Available for free in 5 languages, it progressively becomes an open alternative to all the students, the Health Professional and the…
We have used the historic Dwingeloo radio telescope to receive signals from the Voyager 1 spacecraft. Only a few telescopes in the world have received these signals, which are very faint due to the distance of Voyager 1: almost 25 billion kilometers, more than four times the distance to Pluto.
A new Northeastern study delves deep into how parrots use touchscreen devices, with the help of a bespoke gaming app.
Rasmus Kyng has written the near-perfect algorithm. It computes the maximum transport flow at minimum cost for any kind of network – be it rail, road or electricity – at a speed that is, mathematically speaking, impossible to beat.
DrivAerNet++, the largest open-source dataset for car aerodynamics developed to date, can be used to quickly train an AI model to generate novel car designs. This process could potentially lead to more fuel-efficient cars and electric vehicles with longer range.
New AI system designs proteins that successfully bind to target molecules, with potential for advancing drug design, disease understanding and more.
MIT Media Lab Spin-off Augmental has developed the MouthPad, a device that allows users to interact with phones and computers using their tongue and other head gestures.
Avi Wigderson is the recipient of the 2023 ACM A.M. Turing Award for foundational contributions to the theory of computation, including reshaping our understanding of the role of randomness in computation, and for decades of intellectual leadership in theoretical computer science.
Aftershock II is believed to be the world’s first civilian-built rocket to reach an altitude of 470,000 feet.
Study reveals 75 percent of the world’s industrial fishing vessels are hidden from public view
DURHAM, N.C. – An HIV vaccine candidate developed at the Duke Human Vaccine Institute triggered low levels of an elusive type of broadly neutralizing HIV antibodies among a small group of people enrolled in a 2019 clinical trial.The finding, reported May 17 in the journal Cell, not only provides proof that a vaccine…
MIT researchers developed a silk fabric, which is barely thicker than a human hair, that can suppress unwanted noise and reduce noise transmission in a large room.
Patent-pending design by Hopkins undergrads could be available in stores within two years
The finding also represents the first evidence of the heaviest antimatter hypernucleus yet at the LHC
The unstoppable rise of batteries is leading to a domino effect that puts half of global fossil fuel demand at risk.
PHerc. 172 (Scroll 5) is here.
CU Boulder Classics scholars identify previously unknown fragments of two lost tragedies by Greek tragedian Euripides.
Members of the public have little trouble in learning very quickly how to use a third thumb – a controllable, prosthetic extra thumb – to pick up and manipulate objects.
Each of us individually is the accumulated product of thousands of generations that have come before us in an unbroken line. Our culture and technology today are also the result of thousands of years of accumulated and remixed cultural knowledge.
A fungus living in the sea can break down the plastic polyethylene, provided it has first been exposed to UV radiation from sunlight. Researchers from, among others, NIOZ published their results in the scientific journal Science of the Total Environment. They expect that many more plastic degrading fungi are living in…
Building frontier artificial intelligence to predict and reprogram the interactions between biochemical molecules.
