| Carbon-rich exoplanets may be made of diamonds Posted: 11 Sep 2020 05:00 PM PDT Astronomers have determined that some carbon-rich exoplanets, given the right circumstances, could be made of diamonds and silica. |
| Quantum thermometer using nanodiamonds senses a 'fever' in tiny worms C. elegans Posted: 11 Sep 2020 11:17 AM PDT Measuring the temperature of objects at a nanometer-scale has been a long challenge, especially in living biological samples, because of the lack of precise and reliable nanothermometers. An international team of researchers has realized a quantum technology to probe temperature on a nanometer-scale, and have observed a 'fever' in tiny nematode worms under pharmacological treatment. This strengthens the connection between quantum sensing and biology and ushers in novel thermal imaging technologies in biomedical research. |
| Computational modelling explains why blues and greens are brightest colors in nature Posted: 11 Sep 2020 11:16 AM PDT Researchers have shown why intense, pure red colors in nature are mainly produced by pigments, instead of the structural color that produces bright blue and green hues. |
| To recreate ancient recipes, check out the vestiges of clay pots Posted: 11 Sep 2020 11:16 AM PDT UC Berkeley archaeologists have discovered that unglazed ceramic cookware can retain the residue of not just the last supper cooked, but earlier meals as well, opening a window onto gastronomic practices possibly going back millennia. |
| New test can detect crown-of-thorns starfish as quickly as a home pregnancy kit Posted: 03 Sep 2020 04:59 AM PDT Researchers have developed a dipstick test that can detect crown-of-thorns starfish on coral reefs by using the same technology as home pregnancy tests. |
