| New technique for engineering living materials and patterns Posted: 05 Jun 2020 10:24 AM PDT A new method for engineering living materials called 'MeniFluidics' could see a transformation in tissue engineering and bio-art, as well as new ways to research cellular interactions. |
| New smart fabrics from bioactive inks monitor body and environment by changing color Posted: 05 Jun 2020 08:12 AM PDT Researchers developed biomaterial-based inks that respond to and quantify chemicals released from the body or in the environment by changing color. Multiple inks can be screen printed onto clothes or even face masks at high resolution, providing a detailed map of human response or exposure. |
| Study shows diamonds aren't forever Posted: 05 Jun 2020 07:54 AM PDT Diamonds, those precious, sparkling jewels, are known as the hardest materials on Earth. They are a high-pressure form of carbon and found deep in the ground. While diamonds are commonly thought of as hard and stable, carbon from about 100 miles beneath the African plate is being brought to shallower levels where diamond will become unstable. Molten rock (magma) brings the excess carbon towards the surface, and earthquakes open cracks that allow the carbon to be released into the air as carbon dioxide. |
| How metal is formed: Electrolytes becoming metallic Posted: 05 Jun 2020 07:53 AM PDT An international team has developed a sophisticated experimental technique at BESSY II to observe the formation of a metallic conduction band in electrolytes. |
| Discovery unlocks 'hot' electrons for more efficient energy use Posted: 04 Jun 2020 12:20 PM PDT Highly energetic, "hot" electrons have the potential to help solar panels more efficiently harvest light energy. But up until now, scientists haven't been able to measure the energies of those electrons, limiting their use. Researchers have now demonstrated how a technique using a scanning tunneling microscope integrated with lasers and other optical components reveals the energy distribution of hot electrons. |
| New study reveals cracks beneath giant, methane gushing craters Posted: 04 Jun 2020 08:16 AM PDT 250-million-year-old cracks in the seafloor feed greenhouse gas methane into giant craters in the Barents Sea. More than 100 craters, presently expelling enormous amounts of the greenhouse gas into the ocean, are found in the area. |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 06:56 AM PDT Researchers have successfully captured video of single molecules in motion at 1,600 frames per second. This is 100 times faster than previous experiments of this nature. They accomplished this by combining a powerful electron microscope with a highly sensitive camera and advanced image processing. This method could aid many areas of nanoscale research. |
| New tool automatically turns math into pictures Posted: 02 Jun 2020 08:01 AM PDT Some people look at an equation and see a bunch of numbers and symbols; others see beauty. Thanks to a new tool, anyone can now translate the abstractions of mathematics into beautiful and instructive illustrations. The tool enables users to create diagrams simply by typing an ordinary mathematical expression and letting the software do the drawing. |
