The Earth illustration. Credit:NASA. Earth's inside Structure received new attention from scientists. A new study led by a College of Cambridge is the first to take a detailed picture of an unusual pocket of rock at the border layer with the Planet's core, some 3 thousand kilometers under the surface, giving new hope of understanding...
The record-setting solar cell shines red under blue luminescence. Credit: Printed Electronics World. Researchers at the U.S. Division of Energy's National Renewable resource Research Laboratory (NREL) developed a solar cell with a record 39.5% performance under 1-sun global illumination. This is the greatest effective solar cell of any kind, measured using standard 1-sun problems. "The brand-new...
Scientists develop a method for seasonal prediction of western wildfires. Credit: NCAR & UCAR News. This summer's Western wildfire season is most likely to be more extreme than typical but not as devastating as in 2015's near-record, according to a speculative forecast method created by researchers at the National Facility for Atmospheric Study (NCAR). Using artificial...
NIST communications researchers traveled to downtown Boulder, Colorado, to verify their channel model for evaluating high-frequency wireless network designs. Credit: ZDNET. As Wi-Fi is deployed in cities and at greater frequencies, it may rely on an abundant urban resource: streetlight poles. To guarantee these networks work well, scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology...
How can researchers tell if male and female dinosaurs, like the stegosaur, were different? Credit: Susannah Maidment et al. & Natural History Museum, London, CC BY In many animal varieties, males and also women vary. This is true for individuals and various other mammals. Along with numerous species of birds, fish, and reptiles. However, what concerning dinosaurs?...
Mathematicians would like to know if equations concerning fluid circulation can break down or "explode" in certain circumstances. Credit: Quanta Magazine. For more than 250 years, mathematicians have been attempting to "blow up" a few of one of the most important formulas in physics. Those explain exactly how liquids circulate. If they are successful, they...
There are better ways to brush tangled hair. Credit: WSJ. As any person who has actually ever had to clean lengthy hair knows. Knots are a nightmare. Yet, with enough experience, many discovered detangling techniques with the least amount of discomfort. Begin at the bottom, function your means up to the scalp with short. Gentle brushes,...
Single-photon emission by a self-assembled GaN/AlN quantum dot. Credit: J. Stachurski To achieve quantum technology, we need to create a non-classical source of lights that can produce a single photon at a time and accomplish this on-demand. Researchers at EPFL have now developed one of these single-photon emitter that can operate at room temperature. Based...
Credit: Scitech Daily In a research study, an international group of researchers investigates the atmosphere as a pertinent source of plastic pollution in our globe's waters. According to estimates, by 2040, plastic pollution could get to 80 million metric tons (176 billion pounds) annually. Plastic particles have now been found in virtually all circles of the...
