Double-walled nanotubes have electro-optical advantages
One nanotube could be great for electronics applications, but there's new evidence that two could be tops.
Rice University engineers already knew that size matters...
ALMA resolves gas impacted by young jets from supermassive black hole
Astronomers obtained the first resolved image of disturbed gaseous clouds in a galaxy 11 billion light-years away by using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array...
Researchers catch light in a funnel
Professor Ronny Thomale holds a chair for theoretical condensed matter physics, the TP1, at the Julius-Maximilian University of Würzburg. The discovery and theoretical description...
Optimizing efficiency of quantum circuits
Quantum circuits, the building blocks of quantum computers, use quantum mechanical effects to perform tasks. They are much faster and more accurate than the...
3-D printed sensors could make breath tests for diabetes possible
The production of highly sensitive sensors is a complex process: It requires many steps and the almost dust-free environment of special cleanrooms. A research...
A new ‘gold standard’ for safer ceramic coatings
Making your own ceramics can be a way to express your creativity, but some techniques and materials used in the process could spell bad...
Planetary defenders validate asteroid deflection code
Planetary defense researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) continue to validate their ability to accurately simulate how they might deflect an Earth-bound asteroid...
Scientists find a way to extract color from black
Scientists have developed a way of extracting a richer palette of colours from the available spectrum by harnessing disordered patterns inspired by nature that...
A device for the early detection of certain eyesight problems
EPFL researchers have developed a device that can zoom in on previously invisible cells at the back of the eye. The technology could be...
Low-cost graphene-iron filters that selectively separate gaseous mixtures
UNSW researchers have shown how a new class of low-cost graphene-based membranes—a type of filter used in industry sectors that generate enormous mixed waste...
Capabilities of CRISPR gene editing expanded
Many basic and clinical researchers are testing the potential of a simple and efficient gene editing approach to study and correct disease-causing mutations for...
