Tech Xplore / Study solves key micro-LED challenges, enabling 'reality-like' visuals for AR/VR devices
From TVs and smartwatches to rapidly emerging VR and AR devices, micro-LEDs are a next-generation display technology in which each LED—smaller than the thickness of a human hair—emits light on its own. Among the three ...
Phys.org / Tunisia's famed blue-and-white village threatened after record rains
Perched on a hill overlooking Carthage, Tunisia's famed blue-and-white village of Sidi Bou Said now faces the threat of landslides, after record rainfall tore through parts of its slopes.
Phys.org / Shining a light on sustainable sulfur-rich polymers that stay recyclable
For the first time, scientists have used ultraviolet (UV) light, a low-cost and readily available energy source, to successfully synthesize more sustainable and recyclable polymer materials. Led by green chemistry experts ...
Tech Xplore / Say what's on your mind, and AI can tell what kind of person you are
If you say a few words, generative AI will understand who you are—maybe even better than your close family and friends. A new University of Michigan study found that widely available generative AI models (e.g., ChatGPT, ...
Phys.org / 3D covalent organic framework offers sustainable solution for wastewater treatment
Industrial dye pollution remains one of the most persistent and hazardous challenges in global wastewater management. The dyes from textile and chemical manufacturing sectors are difficult to remove, non-biodegradable, and ...
Medical Xpress / AI tool predicts six-month risks for cancer patients after heart attack
Cancer patients who suffer a heart attack face a dangerous mix of risks, which makes their clinical treatment particularly challenging. As a result, patients with cancer have been systematically excluded from many clinical ...
Medical Xpress / Natural sunscreen compounds show potential to support skin health and blood pressure
Researchers have discovered that natural "sunscreen" compounds found in algae and cyanobacteria may also support skin and heart health. By comparing two mycosporine-like amino acids, the team showed for the first time that ...
Medical Xpress / Secondhand vape plumes could form lung-damaging radicals
Electronic cigarettes—or vapes—can release puffs of vapor in aromatic clouds. The health risks of breathing in this secondhand or passive vapor aren't fully understood. So, researchers reporting in Environmental Science ...
