Better methods for assessing solar cells under indoor ambient lighting can help improve their design. As photovoltaic (PV) technology continues to progress, PV devices’ applications…
Researchers warn of the potential social, ethical, and legal consequences of technologies interacting heavily with human brains. Surpassing the biological limitations of the brain and…
Cells are connected by gap junctions, which are vital for a healthy heart. The rhythm in a working heart is regulated by electrical impulses. Disturbances…
A group of polymers across several members of the oldest meteorite class, the CV3 type, shed light on space chemistry as early as 12.5 billion…
Scientists develop a method to reuse previously non-recyclable plastic. Biodegradable plastics are supposed to be good for the environment. However, because they are specifically made…
At roughly the size of a fingertip, the integrated photonics chip delivers random number output more than twice as fast as conventional QRNGs. As pervasive…
Advanced uncertainty quantification model based on fluid dynamic simulations of weather effects corrects COVID-19 pandemic’s first wave data inaccuracies. Two COVID-19 pandemic curves emerged within…
Computer model recreates a willow tree and nearby crowd to provide new perspective on social distancing measures. Most models explaining how viruses are transmitted focus…
Simulation model provides first step in developing algorithms to enhance detection methods. Cosmic rays are high-energy atomic particles continually bombarding Earth’s surface at nearly the…
Lipids have been may play big role in Alzheimer’s progression. Alzheimer’s disease is predominant in elderly people, but the way age-related changes to lipid composition…
U.S. wind plants achieve a predicted annual production gain of 0.8% by using wake steering. Wake steering is a strategy employed at wind power plants…
Superfast, portable COVID-19 testing method detects the virus much faster than currently available methods. The COVID-19 pandemic made it clear technological innovations were urgently needed…
Curbing coronavirus spread in enclosed spaces means better masks, adequate ventilation. With research increasingly showing the COVID-19 virus is transmissible via smaller droplets suspended in…
Understanding the complex network of genes controlling sleep cycles in people, animals, plants can lead to advances in human health, crop production. How body clocks…
With only $50 worth of components, an ordinary cellphone transforms into a sophisticated scientific instrument, capable of identifying chemicals, drugs, and pathogens. Scientists from Texas…
Pausing AstraZeneca vaccinations because of suspected links to deadly blood clots could allow COVID-19 to continue to spread, cause more deaths. The AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine…
Scientists develop a low-cost, highly efficient technique that uses solar energy to remove salt from seawater, producing safe drinking water. Despite the vast amount of…
Some natural surfaces, like insect wings, have evolved to develop bactericidal features, which researchers hope to translate into health care materials. Dragonfly wings, lotus leaves,…
