| Nuclear engineering researchers develop new resilient oxide dispersion strengthened alloy Posted: 04 Mar 2021 01:11 PM PST Researchers have recently shown superior performance of a new oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloy they developed for use in both fission and fusion reactors. |
| Can't solve a riddle? The answer might lie in knowing what doesn't work Posted: 04 Mar 2021 01:11 PM PST With the help of about 200 human puzzle-takers, a computer model and functional MRI images, researchers have learned more about the processes of reasoning and decision making, pinpointing the brain pathway that springs into action when problem-solving goes south. |
| Earth has a hot new neighbor -- and it's an astronomer's dream Posted: 04 Mar 2021 01:11 PM PST A rocky planet discovered in the Virgo constellation could change how we look for life in the universe. |
| Factoring in gravitomagnetism could do away with dark matter Posted: 04 Mar 2021 11:54 AM PST Observations of galactic rotation curves give one of the strongest lines of evidence pointing towards the existence of dark matter, a non-baryonic form of matter that makes up an estimated 85% of the matter in the observable Universe. Current assessments of galactic rotation curves are based upon a framework of Newtonian accounts of gravity, a new article suggests that if this is substituted with a general relativity-based model, the need to recourse to dark matter is relieved, replaced by the effects of gravitomagnetism. |
| Secret of the famous Pazyryk carpet: Fermented wool is the answer Posted: 04 Mar 2021 10:35 AM PST Why are the red, yellow, and blue colors used in the world's oldest knotted-pile carpet still so vivid and bright, even after almost two and a half thousand years? Researchers have now been able to uncover the secrets behind the so-called Pazyryk carpet using high-resolution x-ray fluorescence microscopy. |
| Newly discovered millipede, Nannaria hokie, lives at Virginia Tech Posted: 04 Mar 2021 10:35 AM PST Hearing the words "new species discovered" may conjure images of deep caves, uncharted rainforests, or hidden oases in the desert. But the reality is that thousands of new species are discovered each year by enterprising scientists all over the world. Many of these new species do come from exotic locations, but more surprisingly, many come from just down the road, including the newest member of the Hokie Nation, the millipede Nannaria hokie. The newest Hokie -- which has about 60 more legs than the HokieBird -- was discovered living under rocks by the Duck Pond behind the Grove on Virginia Tech's Blacksburg campus. Since then, the critter has been found at the area commonly referred to as stadium woods and in town in Blacksburg as well. |
| 'Egg carton' quantum dot array could lead to ultralow power devices Posted: 04 Mar 2021 09:53 AM PST A new path toward sending and receiving information with single photons of light has been discovered by an international team of researchers. |
