Tech solution that makes drone operations much more wildlife friendly

This summer, Norwegian news has reported (in Norwegian) multiple stories about Lofoten residents who shot at drones out of sheer frustration. But not everyone exposed to approaching drones has a gun with which to defend themselves.

Light beam 'swims' upstream through a quantum fluid by violating Newton's third law

Just as a leaf drifts along with a stream, objects in other moving fluids normally drift along with the flow. That is, unless they exert energy to move against it. Although it may be less intuitive, light waves or photons ...

Microcrystal electron diffractometer brings hidden hydrogen into focus

Hydrogen—the lightest atom—does the heavy lifting when it comes to important chemical reactions. It can be stored and released as clean fuel, and its movements help catalysts build medicines, fertilizers and materials. One ...

New tool aims to deliver graziers a faster, more accurate read on exactly how much feed is in front of their cattle

A drone lifts off over a paddock at Boorowa Agricultural Research Station, the breeze from its rotors setting the tall, uncut grass below rippling. At the controls, Stuart Brown, a senior research technician at CSIRO, keeps ...

A tiny chariot fitting reveals Egyptian glass reached Iron Age Britain

At the end of last year, curators from the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford came to Diamond to learn more about a 2,000-year-old prehistoric artifact. Using the microfocus beamline at I18, researchers unlocked new insights into ...

Liquid crystal takes page from steel in surprising phase transition

A type of transformation best known for hardening steel and enabling shape-memory alloys may also occur in a much softer class of materials, according to new research from Rice University. Researchers in the departments of ...
