Nov. 30, 2020 The missing dark matter in certain galaxies can be explained by the effects of tidal disruption: the gravity forces of a neighboring massive galaxy, literally tearing the smaller galaxy ...
Nov. 30, 2020 Earth 'just got' 7 km/s faster and about 2000 light-years closer to the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. But don't worry, this doesn't mean that our ...
Nov. 30, 2020 A new study finds that invasive keyhole wasps at the Brisbane Airport were responsible for instances of fully blocked replica pitot probes -- vital instruments that measure airspeed. The results ...
Nov. 30, 2020 A breakthrough improvement in ultra-efficient thermoelectric materials, which can convert heat into electricity and vice versa, has great potential for applications ranging from low-maintenance, ...
Nov. 24, 2020 Researchers have developed a technique for manufacturing micrometer-long machines by interlocking multiple materials in a complex ...
Nov. 24, 2020 Sound waves have been part of science and medicine for decades, but the technologies have always relied on low frequencies. Now researchers have revealed how high frequency sound waves could ...
Nov. 24, 2020 A research team has developed a multimodal ion-electronic skin that distinguishes temperature from mechanical stimuli. This skin can detect various movements and is applicable in fields including ...
Nov. 24, 2020 When the words 'artificial intelligence' (AI) come to mind, your first thoughts may be of super-smart computers, or robots that perform tasks without needing any help from humans. Now, a ...
Nov. 24, 2020 Using X-ray lasers, researchers have been able to follow the transformation between two distinct different liquid states of water. At around minus 63 Celsius, the two liquids exist at different ...
Nov. 23, 2020 The long-held belief that the Milky Way, the galaxy containing Earth and the solar system, is relatively static has been ruptured by fresh cosmic insight. The spiral-shaped disc of stars and planets ...
Nov. 23, 2020 Faster, smaller, smarter and more energy-efficient chips for everything from consumer electronics to big data to brain-inspired computing could soon be on the way after engineers created the smallest ...
Nov. 23, 2020 Researchers have developed a new theory for observing a quantum vacuum that could lead to new insights into the behaviour of black ...
Nov. 20, 2020 Researchers have prepared synthetic protocells coated in red blood cell fragments for use as nitric oxide generating bio-bots within blood ...
Nov. 20, 2020 Scientists have generated a huge true random number using DNA synthesis. It is the first time that a number of this magnitude has been created by biochemical ...
Nov. 20, 2020 Researchers have developed a way for deep learning neural networks to rapidly estimate confidence levels in their output. The advance could enhance safety and efficiency in AI-assisted decision ...
Nov. 19, 2020 Researchers have designed a system that lets robots autonomously learn complicated tasks from a very small number of demonstrations -- even imperfect ones. While current state-of-art methods need at ...
Nov. 19, 2020 Researchers used computer-generated models to numerically simulate sneezes in different types of people and determine associations between people's physiological features and how far their ...
Nov. 19, 2020 Comparing data from VLA sky surveys made some two decades apart revealed that the black hole-powered 'engines' at the cores of some distant galaxies have launched new, superfast jets of ...
Nov. 19, 2020 Can a single molecule be transferred to a specific, distant location, and then brought back to the starting point? And how fast does it move? A new study addresses these ...
Nov. 19, 2020 Researchers have developed an ultrathin pressure sensor that can be attached directly to the skin. It can measure how fingers interact with objects to produce useful data for medical and ...
