Tech Xplore / Laser speed in 3D printing tunes atomic structure of high-entropy alloys
Next-generation technology requires next-generation materials that can be tailored to exact mission requirements. Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, has already revolutionized industries like aerospace engineering by ...
Phys.org / Data-driven analysis reveals three archetypes of armed conflicts
The language used to describe conflicts naturally reflects assumptions about how different forms of violence emerge and develop.
Medical Xpress / New diamond-coated electrodes may help people walk again
What's the first thing you did when you woke up this morning? Maybe you swung your legs over the side of your bed, placed your feet on the floor and stood up. Simple, right?
Tech Xplore / Q&A: Ethical, legal and social issues—what does it take for new technology to be accepted?
How do cutting-edge science and technology respond to ethical and legal issues when incorporated into society? These issues are known as ethical, legal and social issues, or "ELSI" for short, and research on these issues ...
Phys.org / Fossil shorebirds reveal Australia's ancient wetlands lost to climate change
Flinders University paleontology researchers—with local fossil experts—have discovered how prolific shorebirds, including the Plains-wanderer, once lived across South Australia's South-East during wetter times up to 60,000 ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists uncover hidden cells fueling brain cancer—and a drug that could stop them
A team of Canadian scientists has uncovered a new way to slow the growth of glioblastoma, the most aggressive and currently incurable form of brain cancer—and identified an existing medication that could treat it.
Phys.org / World's first high-resolution global leaf chlorophyll map can closely track plant health
A research team led by Profs. Li Jing and Liu Qinhuo from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (AIRCAS) has developed the world's first global, high-resolution map of leaf chlorophyll ...
Phys.org / Natural peptides from cyanobacteria offer eco-friendly solution to marine biofouling
