Tech Xplore / How to increase the rate of plastics recycling
While recycling systems and bottle deposits have become increasingly widespread in the U.S., actual rates of recycling are "abysmal," according to a team of MIT researchers who studied the rates for recycling of PET, the ...
Phys.org / 'Acceleration beats' shine bright light on a novel universal modulation regime in a semiconductor-based laser
Researchers at the Paul-Drude-Institute for Solid State Electronics (PDI) have observed a novel modulation regime characterized by the emergence of previously unseen "acceleration beats" in a modulated semiconductor-based ...
Phys.org / New possibilities for reservoir computing with topological magnetic and ferroelectric systems
Speech recognition, weather forecasts, smart home applications: Artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things are enhancing our everyday lives. Systems based on reservoir computing are a very promising new field.
Medical Xpress / Team develops AI model to improve patient response to cancer therapy
A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can help physicians to select the most suitable treatment for cancer patients has been developed by researchers at The Australian National University (ANU).
Phys.org / New models suggest Milky Way is not as packed with stars as previously thought
A small team of astronomers from Yunnan University, the University of Utah, New Mexico State University, and the University of St Andrews has created a new model of the Milky Way galaxy based on the results of their census ...
Phys.org / Synthesis method for 1D segmented heteronanostructures uses stress-induced axial ordering
One-dimensional segmented heteronanostructures (1D-SHs) are promising candidates in fields such as photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) and thermoelectrics. Currently, the synthesis of 1D-SHs mainly focuses on sulfides and selenides, ...
