| Cosmic tango between the very small and the very large Posted: 29 Jul 2020 05:50 PM PDT A new study using the theory of quantum loop cosmology accounts for two major mysteries about the large-scale structure of our universe. |
| New fabric could help keep you cool in the summer, even without A/C Posted: 29 Jul 2020 09:44 AM PDT Air conditioning and other space cooling methods account for about 10% of all electricity consumption in the U.S., according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Now, researchers have developed a material that cools the wearer without using any electricity. The fabric transfers heat, allows moisture to evaporate from the skin and repels water. |
| Strange dismembered star cluster found at Galaxy's edge Posted: 29 Jul 2020 08:48 AM PDT Astronomers have found the remnant of strange dismembered globular cluster at the edge of the Milky Way, upending theories about how heavy elements formed in early stars. |
| 'Quantum negativity' can power ultra-precise measurements Posted: 29 Jul 2020 08:48 AM PDT Scientists have found that a physical property called 'quantum negativity' can be used to take more precise measurements of everything from molecular distances to gravitational waves. |
| Simulating quantum 'time travel' disproves butterfly effect in quantum realm Posted: 29 Jul 2020 08:47 AM PDT Using a quantum computer to simulate time travel, researchers have demonstrated that, in the quantum realm, there is no 'butterfly effect.' In the research, information--qubits, or quantum bits--'time travel' into the simulated past. |
| Metal-breathing bacteria could transform electronics, biosensors, and more Posted: 28 Jul 2020 10:08 AM PDT When the Shewanella oneidensis bacterium 'breathes' in certain metal and sulfur compounds anaerobically, the way an aerobic organism would process oxygen, it produces materials that could be used to enhance electronics, electrochemical energy storage, and drug-delivery devices. The ability of this bacterium to produce molybdenum disulfide -- a material that is able to transfer electrons easily, like graphene -- is the focus of new research. |
