Tech Xplore / Turning molecules into reliable electronic devices with a new fabrication platform
Molecules are among the smallest building blocks available for making next-generation devices. Their unique, customizable properties enable promising applications in emerging computing, sensing, optical and quantum technologies.
Tech Xplore / Connected-grid AI could reduce blackout risk with more precise power predictions
A new artificial intelligence tool developed by researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Florida State University's Center for Advanced Power Systems could help make electric grids more reliable and reduce operating ...
Phys.org / Ultrafast X-ray flashes partially reverse the damage they cause, enabling brighter, more accurate imaging
The interaction between X-rays and matter can be actively controlled, according to an international research team led by the University of Hamburg and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory that has succeeded in producing bright ...
Medical Xpress / Sweat, brain signals, eye movements and AI used to detect depression and suicide risk
Suicide rates in the U.S. have been rising at an alarming rate over the past few decades, with rates among veterans 1.5 times higher than those of the general public, USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work's study ...
Phys.org / Ten viral genome regions may explain why deadly chicken virus evades vaccines
A highly contagious herpes virus causes Marek's disease, a deadly illness that mainly infects chickens. While it does not make people sick, the virus causes tumors and paralysis in chickens and, if unchecked, can spread rapidly ...
Tech Xplore / Adaptive organic transistor for wearable electronics switches roles as salt concentration changes
Wearable electronics are gradually evolving from simple sensors into feature-rich devices that can make basic decisions and support medical care in real time. To fully realize this vision, wearable systems must be soft and ...
Phys.org / Over 100 South American lakes could become climate-change early-warning observatories
More than 100 shallow lakes stretching over 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) along the Atlantic coast of southern Brazil and Uruguay could become one of the world's most important natural laboratories for understanding how climate ...
Medical Xpress / Your personality changes more across your life than you think, according to new study
Personality traits have long been seen as set in stone, with many believing they stop changing once we reach adulthood. A recent study, however, challenges this long-held belief, suggesting that personality changes far more ...
Phys.org / Scientists watch, molecule by molecule, as cell helpers rescue problem proteins
University of Wollongong (UOW) scientists have uncovered, for the first time, exactly how two of the cell's "helper" proteins operate as a rescue crew for misfolded proteins, a discovery that sheds new light on the molecular ...
Phys.org / Brittany burial mounds may hide human-shaped stones as Coëby cemetery mystery deepens
For archaeologists, the Coëby cemetery in Brittany, France, is a gold mine for research. It contains several prehistoric stone monuments and earth mounds. In a new study of two unusually large mounds, scientists may have ...
Phys.org / Last Scottish island bird hunt banned after almost 500 years
A centuries-old annual bird chick hunt on a remote Scottish island, known as the Guga Hunt, has been banned this year, authorities said Monday, citing conservation concerns.
Phys.org / Tiger shark caught off Massachusetts could be sign of warming waters
Nate Rouette and his brother Nelson went shark fishing on Cape Cod hoping for an exciting catch, but were shocked by what they reeled in—a tropical species of shark with a reputation for eating everything it can swallow.
