A team from Fudan University, the Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics, the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and Shaoxin Laboratory, all in China, has developed a retinal prosthesis woven from metal nanowires ...
A new bio-based hot glue derived from a byproduct of the wood pulp industry beats traditional epoxy resins and commercial hot-melt glues in terms of adhesive performance.
When placed under a powerful laser field (i.e., under strong-field ionization), electrons can temporarily cross the so-called quantum tunneling barrier, an energy barrier that they would typically be unable to overcome. This ...
A team of ecologists, arborists and environmentalists affiliated with several institutions across China, working with a colleague from Australia, has found that many old trees are finding sanctuary on temple grounds across ...
A team of conservation and wildlife specialists affiliated with several institutions in China has successfully released two Yangtze finless porpoises back into the wild after moving them to a protected area for two years. ...
Adatoms are single atoms that get adsorbed onto the surface of a solid material and are known to hop randomly from one spot to another. In a recent study published in Nature Communications, a group of scientists from Germany ...
Using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), European astronomers have investigated a galaxy cluster designated CIZA J2242.8+5301, dubbed the Sausage cluster. The observations conducted at very low radio frequencies provide more ...
Multiferroics are materials that exhibit more than one ferroic property, typically ferroelectricity (i.e., a spontaneous electric polarization that can be reversed by electric fields) and ferromagnetism (i.e., the spontaneous ...
A team of animal behaviorists at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Germany, working with a colleague from Western Sydney University, in Australia, has discovered that wild cockatoos in Australia have figured ...
The extraction of work (i.e., usable energy) from quantum processes is a key focus of quantum thermodynamics research, which explores the application of thermodynamics laws to quantum systems. Meanwhile, other quantum physics ...
