A retired microscope and samples from research studies on colloids and cellular signaling are among the load returning from the International Space Station aboard the 24th SpaceX commercial resupply services mission. The Dragon craft, which reached the station on December 22, 2021, is undocked on January 23 with parachute-assisted splashdown the following afternoon (Monday, January […]
Can machine learning be used to reveal the secrets of the quark-gluon plasma? Yes, it can. However, only with advanced new methods. It can hardly be more complicated. Little particles whir around wildly with extremely high energy, many interactions happen in the matted mess of quantum particles. This leads to a state of matter called

5G means fifth-generation cellular network technology, and the technology allows wireless communication. For example, from your cellphone to a cell tower, which conducts it to the internet. 5G is a network service offered by telecommunications providers and is not the exact same thing as the 5 GHz band on your Wi-Fi router. 5G presents an

New technology of the integrated photonic chip Researchers at the University of Rochester’s Institute of Optics, for the first time, distill unique interferometry into a photonic device. University of Rochester scientists, for the very first time, harbor a way of amplifying interferometric signals using inverse weak value amplification– without increment in extraneous input or “noise”–

Power-saving electronics are becoming increasingly important in the quest for a carbon-neutral world. Advancements in this technology are making it possible to reduce the amount of energy consumed by electronic devices, which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps to mitigate climate change. Currently, in this new report, released on June 21, 2021, in

Scientists at the UAB and the UniZar have detected a human peptide located in the brain that prevents the α-synuclein aggregates associated with Parkinson’s disease and helps prevent their neurotoxicity. The research released in Nature Communications suggests that this may be one of the organism’s natural systems to combat aggregation. The learning might help establish

Motorcycles in mainstream media Motorcycles are so manly, right? Think about Steve McQueen in The Great Escape, Arthur Fonzarelli in tv’s Happy Days, and Daniel Craig’s James Bond. All chaps, radiating controlled coolness, astride thunderous, throbbing engines. However, in Motorcycles– Design, Art, Desire, this summer’s blockbuster event at Queensland Art Gallery of Modern Art (QAGoMA), you

Police have yet to confirm what led a motorist to crash a red SUV into a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, on Nov. 21, 2021, killing a minimum of 5 people as well as injuring many more. However, one thing is clear: Vehicles can be deadly weapons, whether used deliberately or accidentally. The suspect, identified
