| Scientists slow and steer light with resonant nanoantennas Posted: 20 Aug 2020 01:42 PM PDT Researchers have fashioned ultrathin silicon nanoantennas that trap and redirect light, for applications in quantum computing, LIDAR and even the detection of viruses. |
| Dinosaurs' unique bone structure key to carrying weight Posted: 20 Aug 2020 11:32 AM PDT A unique collaboration between paleontologists, mechanical engineers and biomedical engineers revealed that the trabecular bone structure of hadrosaurs and several other dinosaurs is uniquely capable of supporting large weights, and different than that of mammals and birds. |
| Exoskeleton research marches forward with study on fit Posted: 20 Aug 2020 11:32 AM PDT Exoskeletons, many of which are powered by springs or motors, can cause pain or injury if their joints are not aligned with the user's. To help manufacturers and consumers mitigate these risks, researchers have developed a new measurement method to test whether an exoskeleton and the person wearing it are moving smoothly and in harmony. |
| Trapping and controlling light at the interface of atomically thin nanomaterials Posted: 20 Aug 2020 10:22 AM PDT Scientists propose a new method to confine light in an atomically thin graphene layer by leveraging topological phenomena that occur at the interface of specially designed nanomaterials. |
| Ichthyosaur's last meal is evidence of Triassic megapredation Posted: 20 Aug 2020 08:28 AM PDT Some 240 million years ago, a dolphin-like ichthyosaur ripped to pieces and swallowed another marine reptile only a little smaller than itself. Then it almost immediately died and was fossilized, preserving the first evidence of megapredation, or a large animal preying on another large animal. |
| A quantum thermometer to measure the coldest temperatures in the universe Posted: 20 Aug 2020 08:09 AM PDT Physicists have proposed a thermometer based on quantum entanglement that can accurately measure temperatures a billion times colder than those in outer space. |
| 3D printing 'greener' buildings using local soil Posted: 20 Aug 2020 07:24 AM PDT Scientists report progress toward a sustainable building material made from local soil, using a 3D printer. |
| Fossil leaves show high atmospheric carbon spurred ancient 'global greening' Posted: 20 Aug 2020 07:24 AM PDT Scientists studying leaves from a 23-million-year-old forest have for the first time linked high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide with increased plant growth, and the hot climate off the time. |
| Mystery gas discovered near center of Milky Way Posted: 19 Aug 2020 08:09 AM PDT Researchers have discovered a dense, cold gas that's been shot out from the center of the Milky Way 'like bullets'. |
