Tech Xplore / Nonmetallic metasurfaces offer a new way to block radiant heat
Researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) and Honeywell Aerospace have developed a new way to reduce the transfer of radiant heat between closely spaced bodies by using thin, ...
Medical Xpress / New brain cell formation stalls in adults with depression, study shows
Findings from a new study by researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons suggest that the trickle of neurons created in the adult hippocampus could be instrumental in preventing depression. ...
Phys.org / We're building a New York‑sized city every month. That's worrying for our climate
We each need a roof over our heads, classrooms to learn in and offices or spaces to work in. To meet this unprecedented demand for new buildings, globally, we're constructing the equivalent of an entire New York City every ...
Medical Xpress / How the brain distinguishes the consequences of our own choices from events beyond our control
A study led by the University of Oxford has identified the brain mechanisms that help us work out whether the consequences we experience are caused by our own actions or by circumstances beyond our control.
Tech Xplore / Genetic algorithms test cybersecurity defenses against adaptive malware
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way many people approached their work across the globe. For Carnegie Mellon University Africa's Jema Ndibwile, it changed the way he viewed a completely different type of virus: a computer ...
Tech Xplore / AI-powered terrain recognition helps cyborg cockroaches navigate faster
Cyborg insects combine the mobility of living organisms with miniature electronic devices, offering potential applications in search-and-rescue operations, infrastructure inspection and exploration of environments that are ...
Phys.org / Breaking up of swan families in winter disrupts spring migration
Young Bewick's swans only survive their first spring migration if they stay with their parents long enough. If they lose their parents in winter, they leave later and are unable to keep up with the rest of the population. ...
Phys.org / Blood-camouflaged nanoparticles defeat drug-resistant breast tumors in mouse model
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant subtypes of breast cancer, accounting for 15% to 20% of all cases. Unlike other breast cancers, TNBC lacks targetable receptors, leaving ...
Phys.org / Quantum dots keep their glow under heat after dual modification
Quantum dots are semiconductor crystals only a few nanometers in size. Their ability to produce bright, precisely tunable colors has made them promising materials for light-emitting diodes, displays, solar cells and other ...
Phys.org / Seeing the unseen: A new tool visualizes hidden structures in complex biological data
Modern biology research can now generate valuable data on an unprecedented scale. But there is one major obstacle: making sense of these complex high-dimensional datasets. A team at the University of Basel, Switzerland, has ...
Phys.org / Hydrogel platform uses vitamin B2 and blue light to simplify living tissue models
Researchers at Tampere University have developed a versatile hydrogel platform that makes it easier to create customized biomaterials for tissue engineering, disease modeling, drug discovery and regenerative medicine. Their ...
Tech Xplore / When the algorithm determines wages
What happens when companies on digital labor platforms no longer decide for themselves how much to pay their workers, but leave this to learning algorithms? Researchers at TU Darmstadt, Bielefeld University and the Université ...
