Ivory from an ancient shipwreck off Spain is providing data that might aid conservation of modern elephant populations.
With a flick of a switch, current technologies allow you to quickly change materials from being dark to light, or cold to hot, just by blocking or transmitting specific wavelengths. But now, inspired by squid skin, researchers ...
Nanoscientists have developed a wearable textile that can convert body movement into useable electricity and even store that energy. The fabric potentially has a wide range of applications from medical monitoring to assisting ...
Growing up in a small town in Brazil, my daily life was shaped by the rhythms of my family's working hours. My father has been a night shift worker for over three decades at a local factory. We got used to silent days and ...
A study led by researchers at the Agroecosystem Sustainability Center (ASC) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign quantifies the soil organic carbon (SOC) benefits from cover crops in maize-soybean rotations in Midwestern ...
Researchers in Singapore have developed the world's smallest LED (light-emitting diode) that enables the conversion of existing mobile phone cameras into high-resolution microscopes. Smaller than the wavelength of light, ...
Researchers from Tsinghua University synthesized porous yolk-shell NiO nanospheres (PYS-NiO NSs) via a solvothermal and subsequent calcination process of Ni-MOF. As the large specific surface areas and hollow porous nanostructures ...
The virus responsible for E. coli infection has a secret weapon: teamwork.
What would we do if we spotted a hazardous asteroid on a collision course with Earth? Could we deflect it safely to prevent the impact?
Dust is a common fact of life, and it's more than just a daily nuisance—it can get into machinery and equipment, causing loss of efficiency or breakdowns.
