Science X Dialog
Science X Dialog is where researchers can share news and information about their own published journal articles.
How to apply
Dialog / [Dialog] Novel prefrontal synthesis intervention improves language in children with autism
The CDC estimates that one in 54 children is affected by autism, a neurological disorder that disrupts early development in cognition and communication, leading to impairment in cognitive and social functions and difficulty ...
Dialog / A thread of the cosmic web: Astronomers spot a 50 million light-year galactic filament
At the very largest scale, the Universe consists of a "cosmic web" made of enormous, tenuous filaments of gas stretching between gigantic clumps of matter. Or that's what our best models suggest. All we have seen so far with ...
Dialog / The top scientific breakthrough for 2020 was understanding SARS-CoV-2—and then developing multiple vaccines
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the respiratory illness COVID-19, has killed approximately 2.2% of those worldwide who are known to have contracted it. But the situation could be a lot worse without modern medicine and ...
Dialog / Physicists invent a machine that translates quantum systems in time
Popcorn and chocolate bars aside, there is a big difference between watching a movie in the cinema and viewing it at home. In the cinema, the movie runs from beginning to end, irrespective of the audience's will. At home, ...
Dialog / Electromagnetic-circuit co-design approach leads to dynamically programmable holographic terahertz metasurfaces
With the help of integrated CMOS technology and electromagnetic design, Princeton researchers have demonstrated a key device that could potentially enable high-speed wireless links at terahertz frequencies.
Dialog / We scanned the DNA of 8,000 people to see how facial features are controlled by genes
You might think it's rather obvious that your facial appearance is determined by your genes. Just look in the family photo album and observe the same nose, eyes or chin on your grandparents, cousins and uncles and aunts. ...
Dialog / This is how microorganisms can produce renewable energy for us
We can generate electricity from microorganisms as an alternative to the usual power from water, wind, solar or steam.
Dialog / Periodic table: Scientists propose new way of ordering the elements
The periodic table of the elements, principally created by the Russian chemist, Dmitry Mendeleev (1834-1907), celebrated its 150th anniversary last year. It would be hard to overstate its importance as an organising principle ...
Dialog / Ancient Earth had a thick, toxic atmosphere like Venus—until it cooled off and became liveable
Earth is the only planet we know contains life. Is our planet special? Scientists over the years have mulled over what factors are essential for, or beneficial to, life. The answers will help us identify other potentially ...
Dialog / We developed a simple process to recycle urine. Here's how it's done
Every year on November 19, the United Nations celebrates one of public health's greatest inventions – the toilet. Those who are fortunate enough to have access to one spend more than a year of their lives on it, yet millions ...
Dialog / A new way to tackle the neutron lifetime enigma: A superfluid helium-4 scintillation detector
A free neutron outside a nucleus is not stable. It undergoes beta decay at a probability. Over time, the number of free neutrons decreases exponentially at a time constant, which is called the neutron lifetime.
Dialog / For wave-particle duality and entanglement, progress is finally possible if we avoid the customary pitfalls
Photon duality remains a paradox because the photon is regarded as a simple, unitary object in space. Equally bad, massless radiation is interpreted via concepts drawn from mass-based physics.
