Science X Dialog
Science X Dialog is where researchers can share news and information about their own published journal articles.
How to apply
Dialog / Mineralogy meets zero-shot computer vision
Identifying minerals is a complex and time-consuming problem for geologists, often taking anywhere from 30 minutes to several days per sample. Further complicating the situation is the fact that a sufficient portion of minerals ...
Dialog / The relationship between anxiety disorders and the extensive use of mobile phones
Nomophobia, or "NO MObile PHone PhoBIA" is when a person experiences fear or anxiety about not having mobile phone connectivity. Nomophobia is considered a modern phobia. It most likely stems from increased reliance on technology ...
Dialog / Researchers develop a sustainable gel film to capture carbon dioxide with reduced energy cost
Global CO2 emissions for 2022 reached 36.1 gigatons, and this consumed 13–36% of the remaining carbon budget to limit warming to 1.5°C, which means our permissible emissions could be depleted within two years.
Dialog / How the material of the battery electrode affects its performance and lifespan
Batteries are devices that store and release energy by moving charged particles called ions between two materials called electrodes. The electrodes are separated by a liquid or gel called an electrolyte, which contains ions ...
Dialog / Countering false and omitted evidence of historically heterogeneous western US dry forests and mixed-severity fires
Evidence of forest structure and fires in pre-industrial dry forests—major forests covering ~26 million hectares (64 million acres) of the western U.S.—provides an essential historical baseline. Dry forests are dominated ...
Dialog / Scientists invent new resorbable biomaterials for implantable medical devices
What if we had tiny devices in our bodies that could constantly monitor damaged arteries, accelerate bone regeneration and wound healing, or facilitate drug delivery for cancer treatment? This could open up remarkable opportunities ...
Dialog / Unraveling the novel morphological features of an elusive knee ligament
Complex and strenuous movements at the knee are modulated by ligamentous structures surrounding the joint. One of these ligaments, the anterolateral ligament (ALL), has continuously puzzled scientists due to its elusive morphological ...
Dialog / The role of energy density for grid-scale batteries
Because the sun does not shine at night but all our screens do, we need energy storage to shift solar energy production during the day to when it is needed in the evening. To cope with this intermittence of renewables, we ...
Dialog / Evidence for rainfall-triggered seismicity in intraplate domain at the earthquake of 11 November 2019 in France
On 11 November 2019, a surface-rupturing earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth (about 1 km) near Montélimar city, along the Rhône Valley in southeast France. The earthquake caused significant damage in the villages ...
Dialog / Tailoring quantum oscillations of a Bose-Einstein condensate of excitons as qubits
What plagues quantum upscaling? Most quantum computing devices are dependent on using complex physical phenomena that are either very short-lived (~10-12 seconds) and/or only survive at ultra-low temperatures (e.g., 10-3 ...
Dialog / Understanding the role of the sun in climate change
Although the sun provides nearly all the energy needed to warm the planet, its contribution to climate change remains widely questioned. Many empirically based studies claim that it has a significant effect on climate, while ...
Dialog / Quantum plasmonics with dressing EM fields: Advancing the design of nanoscale integrated circuits
Envision a realm where light can be meticulously controlled and manipulated at minuscule scales, unlocking unprecedented potentials for nanotechnology and quantum information technology. Recent breakthroughs in quantum research ...
