New research from the University of Chicago, Peking University, and Guizhou University reveals that infusing a gene linked to human obesity and fat inside crops might assist them in growing larger and ampler. Adjusting plant RNA is...

Cutting-edge Technology for Building Ultralow-Loss Incorporated Photonic Circuits

Encoding data into light and transferring it using fiber optics is at the core of optical communications. With an exceptionally minimal loss of 0.2 dB/km, fiber optics made from silica have laid the foundations of today's international telecommunication networks and our data society. Such ultralow optical loss is just as crucial for incorporated photonics, which...

Discovering the Technology To Create Unbreakable Compound Glass Screens

The University of Queensland has made a groundbreaking advancement in producing composite glass, potentially eliminating the issue of cracked phone screens. However, Led by Dr. Jingwei Hou, Professor Lianzhou Wang, and Professor Vicki Chen, an international team of researchers has developed a method for creating next-generation composite glass for various applications, including LED lighting,...

New Tree-Derived Material Could Pave the Way for Better and Safer Batteries

Researchers from Brown University and the University of Maryland have developed a new material derived from trees that could replace liquid electrolytes in next-generation batteries. Published in the journal Nature, the study introduces a thin and flexible solid ion conductor made by combining copper with cellulose nanofibrils, which are polymer tubes derived from wood....

Developing Organic Nitrogen Fertilizer to Improve Farming Production

As is known the researchers at Flinders College are investigating organic nitrogen plant fertilizer to bring nitrogen to the soil again without the demand for any chemicals. The global agricultural market is encountering obstacles at present with the deteriorating health of the soil. To combat this, Australian investigators are studying the manufacture of a sustainable...

Innovative Battery Systems Shine A Bright Light On The Future Of Flying Cars

Robotically engineered machines, jet packs, and flying automobiles appeared to be guarantees for the 21st century. Since then, we have instead been given mechanized, autonomous vacuum cleaners. A team of scientists at Penn State is now investigating the requirements for electric vertical vehicle takeoff and landing (eVTOL), and developing and evaluating potentially battery energy...

The product resembles an authentic steak portion consisting of muscle tissue, blood vessels, and fat. As a result of its high...

Meteorites on Mars

Lebanon Meteorite: NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover discovered this huge meteorite, called “Lebanon” on July 15th, 2014. A small piece of the meteorite, called “Lebanon B”, is allowed to be seen in the foreground. The cavities on the surface of the meteorite may have been cavities, once filled with olivine crystals, or, they may be...
