Phys.org / Wavelength-multiplexed diffractive optical storage enables massively parallel image retrieval
The explosive growth of data generated by artificial intelligence, cloud computing and modern digital infrastructure is placing increasing pressure on existing information storage technologies. Although magnetic storage systems ...
Tech Xplore / New pellet-making method points to safer, more predictable high-explosive manufacturing
For decades, manufacturing plastic-bonded high explosives, or PBXs, has relied on legacy processes like slurry coating. In this method, explosive crystals are mixed with a binder, a polymer that helps hold the material together, ...
Medical Xpress / Learning to identify new objects reshapes parts of the brain, research finds
The wiring and rewiring of the brain never ends. Neural pathways are constantly being reshaped as we interact with the world and learn new things. At York University and MIT's McGovern Institute, scientists are combining ...
Medical Xpress / Brain imaging reveals how neural networks coordinate multiple streams at once
Working with concurrent electroencephalogram and functional magnetic resonance imaging technology at the Beckman Institute's Biomedical Imaging Center, postdoctoral researcher Suhnyoung Jun and her colleagues have investigated ...
Phys.org / Preparing birds for life in the wild: New technique boosts survival after release
Every year, thousands of parrots confiscated from the illegal wildlife trade arrive at rehabilitation centers across Latin America. For many of these birds, rescue centers can provide safety but not necessarily a path back ...
Phys.org / New genomic method to track disease outbreaks globally
Phylo-Plex, a new computational method, has been developed by Wellcome Sanger Institute scientists and their collaborators to allow cost-effective and scalable DNA sequencing of pathogens in laboratories with limited resources. ...
Phys.org / Bioinspired strategy creates complex 3D curved structures via programmed shrinkage
The shape of biological structures, ranging from flower petals to the limbs or organs of animals, is often naturally best suited for performing specific functions. Biological structures also often present curved surfaces ...
Medical Xpress / Oxalate buildup triggers systemic inflammation and cardiac damage, study shows
People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a significantly increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease. They also suffer from chronic inflammation, the causes of which are still only partly understood. Oxalic acid ...
Phys.org / New technique takes the heat out of 3D printing process
Researchers have developed a new 3D printing technique that allows the printing of whole objects while controlling the temperature of the chemical reaction to stabilize the process. Academics in the University of Nottingham's ...
Medical Xpress / Low-oxygen treatment helped diseased mice live three times longer. Could humans benefit?
Oxygen isn't always a good thing. Of course, people—and most organisms—cannot live without it. But oxygen can also be quite toxic and lead to profound health consequences.
Phys.org / Researchers break a fundamental rule to create a new concept: Heat that can be directed and 'programmed'
Normally, a material absorbs and emits heat in a linked way: A surface that absorbs heat well at a certain wavelength and direction will also emit heat in the same way. This fundamental relationship, known as reciprocity, ...
Phys.org / Drought threatens irrigation in northern Italy
Water reserves are being depleted rapidly in northern Italy, threatening farming as the region's main river dries up, local officials warned Friday.
