Science X Dialog is where researchers can share news and information about their own published journal articles.
How to apply
Dialog / New warp drive research dashes faster than light travel dreams – but reveals stranger possibilities
In 1994, physicist Miguel Alcubierre proposed a radical technology that would allow faster than light travel: the warp drive, a hypothetical way to skirt around the universe's ultimate speed limit by bending the fabric of ...
Dialog / The ocean's 'gut flora': How bacteria affect ocean health from Antarctica to the equator
Aboard an Australian research vessel, the RV Investigator, we sailed for 63 days from Antarctica's ice edge to the warm equator in the South Pacific and collected 387 water samples.
Dialog / Proof of new physics from the muon's magnetic moment? Maybe not, according to a new theoretical calculation
When the results of an experiment don't match predictions made by the best theory of the day, something is off.
Dialog / Methane-eating bacteria found in a common tree is possible game-changer for curbing greenhouse gases
Trees are the Earth's lungs—it's well understood they drawdown and lock up vast amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But emerging research is showing trees can also emit methane, and it's currently unknown just ...
Dialog / Embrace the unexpected: To teach AI how to handle new situations, change the rules of the game
My colleagues and I changed a digital version of Monopoly so that instead of getting US$200 each time a player passes Go, the player is charged a wealth tax. We didn't do this to gain an advantage or trick anyone. The purpose ...
Dialog / How to count birds when every bird counts: Choosing the best approach in desert mountains
High mountain bird communities tend to be poorly studied due to their relative inaccessibility, but are vulnerable to declines and extirpations driven by global warming and habitat change, even in protected areas. Recent ...
Dialog / Iluminating a control knob for topological insulators
Topological insulators are a new generation of materials bearing intriguing properties that might be instrumental for quantum computing and quantum information. Found in the lab for the first time in 2007, two-dimensional ...
Dialog / Horses can recognize themselves in a mirror, study finds
If you ask people to list the most intelligent animals, they'll name a few usual suspects. Chimpanzees, dolphins and elephants are often mentioned, as are crows, dogs and occasionally pigs. Horses don't usually get a look ...
Dialog / Scientists invent home COVID-19 test using coffee machine capsules
Transitioning to home working had its challenges for us all, but when your job involves researching biological applications for nanotechnology, those trials are a little more complicated than juggling the household's broadband ...
Dialog / Half of global methane emissions come from aquatic ecosystems—much of it human-made
Methane—a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide—plays a major role in controlling the Earth's climate. But methane concentrations in the atmosphere today are 150% higher than before the industrial revolution.
Dialog / Reactive molecular dynamics reveals fundamental mechanism of resistive switching in 2D materials
Conventional computers are based on von Neumann architecture in which data processing and storage are physically separated. Data shuttling between processing unit and memory leads extra energy consumption and restricts the ...
Dialog / Cancer vaccines revitalized by antigenic essence technology
Recently, cancer vaccine development has been complemented by our antigenic essence technology. Considering that the creation of cancer vaccines is a constant priority for research and biotechnology, the emergence of new ...
