That’s ‘sew’ smart! Scientists invent threads to detect gases when woven...
Tufts University engineers have developed a novel fabrication method to create dyed threads that change color when they detect a variety of gases. The...
Origin of the saffron crocus traced back to Greece
The origin of C. sativus has long been the subject of speculation and research, as this knowledge would enable breeders to introduce genetic diversity...
Optical tweezers achieve new feats of capturing atoms
Trapping single atoms is a bit like herding cats, which makes researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder expert feline wranglers.
In a new study,...
UCI scientists are first to observe, image all-important molecular vibrations
By focusing light down to the size of an atom, scientists at the University of California, Irvine have produced the first images of a...
Scientists discover first organism with chlorophyll genes that doesn’t photosynthesize
For the first time scientists have found an organism that can produce chlorophyll but does not engage in photosynthesis.
The peculiar organism is dubbed 'corallicolid'...
Journey to the Big Bang through the lithium of a Milky...
Researchers at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the University of Cambridge have detected lithium in a primitive star in our galaxy....
A microlaser emitting helical light
Researchers recently demonstrated the realization of an integrated microlaser based on a novel design that emits light in chiral modes, thus producing corkscrews of...
Restore natural forests to meet global climate goals
International plans to restore forests to combat global warming are flawed and will fall far short of meeting 1.5C climate targets, according to new...
‘Molecular surgery’ reshapes living tissue with electricity but no incisions
Traditional surgery to reshape a nose or ear entails cutting and suturing, sometimes followed by long recovery times and scars. But now, researchers have...
Study of diversity training suggests it doesn’t lead to much change
A team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School has found through experimentation that diversity training does not generally result in much...
Scientists set record for light-matter interaction
An international team of physicists from the Mandelstam Institute for Theoretical Physics at Wits University and the Institut Néel in Grenoble, France, has created...
