Electrically-heated silicate glass appears to defy Joule’s first law
Characterizing and predicting how electrically-heated silicate glass behaves is important because it is used in a variety of devices that drive technical innovations. Silicate...
New material holds promise for more secure computing
As computers advance, encryption methods currently used to keep everything from financial transactions to military secrets secure might soon be useless, technology experts warn....
New shape memory polymer represents biomedical breakthrough
Researchers in the College of Engineering and Computer Science have developed a material—a new kind of shape memory polymer (SMP)—that could have major implications...
Neutrinos seen in the clustering of galaxies
In early times, the universe was an energetic mix of strongly interacting particles. The first particles to break free from this dense soup were...
Researchers discover the secret to bats’ immunity
An international research team led by Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore, has identified molecular and genetic mechanisms that allow bats to stay healthy while hosting...
New research casts doubt on cause of Angkor’s collapse
New University of Sydney research has revealed the ancient Cambodian city of Angkor underwent a gradual decline in occupation rather than an abrupt collapse.
Researchers...
Ancient poop helps show climate change contributed to fall of Cahokia
A new study shows climate change may have contributed to the decline of Cahokia, a famed prehistoric city near present-day St. Louis. And it...
Entangling photons of different colors
Some of the most advanced communication systems now under development rely on the properties of quantum science to store and transport information. However, researchers...
Nitrogen-fixing trees ‘eat’ rocks, play pivotal role in forest health
By tapping nutrients from bedrock, red alder trees play a key role in healthy forest ecosystems, according to a new study.
The study published today...
Repulsive photons
Light particles normally do not "feel" each other because there is no interaction acting between them. Researchers at ETH have now succeeded in manipulating...
