Converting methane, the primary component of natural gas, into higher alkanes and hydrogen, could be highly advantageous. Alkanes, such as propane and butane, are easier to transport than methane and are used in a wider […]
University of Queensland geochemist Dr. Amelia Corzo-Remigio said powerful X-rays confirmed crops in the Brassicaceae family had strong “phytomining” potential because of the mechanisms they evolved to extract traces of the metal thallium from polluted […]
Published in Nature Communications, researchers from St. Olaf College and Syracuse University built a computer made entirely of mechanical components that can perform simple computations without electricity or batteries.This article is brought to you by […]
Silicon has long been seen as a promising anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries because it can store much more lithium than graphite. But silicon also expands and contracts sharply during charging and discharging, which […]
A KAIST research team has developed quadrupedal robot technology that not only enables walking by estimating terrain without visual information, but also allows the robot to perceive its surroundings through cameras and LiDAR sensors and […]
Online data is generally pretty secure. Assuming everyone is careful with passwords and other protections, you can think of it as being locked in a vault so strong that even all the world’s supercomputers, working […]
Virtual reality tools have untapped potential to elicit positive emotions for use in education, health care, architecture and psychological therapy, according to a recent study from Murdoch University that looked at four core visual factors […]
It wasn’t long ago that news headlines claimed that AI might soon assist radiologists in interpreting X-rays of broken bones and analyzing mammograms. We are still far from the destination, as a new study has […]
P-n diodes are two-terminal devices that consist of two types of semiconductor materials (i.e., a p-type and an n-type material) joined together. These components allow electric current to only move in one direction, which is […]
There is an exciting future on the horizon—one in which your thoughts could directly control electronic devices you use every day. In many ways, that future is already here, enabled by neural interfaces—engineered devices designed […]
