Dialog / The good, the bad, the ugly: Looking inside 3-D silicon nanostructures without leaving a trace
Scientists from the University of Twente and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in France have discovered a new method to non-destructively look inside three-dimensional (3-D) nanostructures without breaking them. ...
Dialog / Foreseeing a network's future beyond collapse
We live in a world of networks, perhaps even more so than most people realize. Obvious examples of complex networks found in our daily lives are the network of computer systems known as the internet, railway networks and ...
Dialog / Avian Catch 22: The more hosts defend their nests, the higher the chance of it being parasitized by cuckoos
The common cuckoo deploys a wide range of tricks to deceive smaller birds into raising cuckoo chicks instead of their own progeny. This is a form of parasitism: The brood parasite hijacks the parental care of the host species ...
Dialog / New mechanism driving cortical gyrification and hydrocephalus found in mice suggests scope for novel therapy
Cortical gyrification, or the stereotypic folding pattern in the forebrain, is implicated in the development of human cognition. During evolution, the mammalian brain went through several transitions between smooth and folded ...
Dialog / Thermal management towards reliable flexible electronics
Researchers at Osaka Prefecture University (OPU, Japan) have developed the first prototype of macroscale, thin-film-based flexible thermal flow sensor array that can observe the flow distribution over curved surfaces through ...
Dialog / Making hydrogel bioelectronics at room temperature
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have taken a major step in enabling direct fabrication of hydrogel bioelectronics within tissues.
Dialog / Aqueous protons can be found in protein X-ray structures
It is possible to determine the presence and location of aqueous proton species at the surface and in the cavities of proteins, as a recently published study shows. This finding goes against conventional view and sheds light ...
Dialog / Scientists find a possible mechanism determining human pregnancy success
Many pregnancies fail early in human embryo development, with 40 to 60 percent of the losses occurring just prior to or during implantation, a process that is initiated on days six and seven post-fertilization, when the conceptus ...
Dialog / Scientists find a glitch in the protocols used to synthesize graphene and 2-D materials
A team of researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar has stumbled upon an unexpected phenomenon with significant implications for the existing protocols followed to synthesize graphene and other two dimensional ...
Dialog / Beauty is in the hand and not the eyes of the beholder
In our daily lives, we engage in various activities involving different body movements. We inspect products and advertisements with our eyes, but test products or browse through websites with our hands. Consider two types ...
