Scientists verify a way of how to improve resolution of most powerful microscopes
Researchers from Tomsk Polytechnic University (Russia) and Bangor University (UK) have experimentally verified anomalous amplitude apodization for non-spherical particles for the first time. This phenomenon makes it possible ...
Underwater wireless optical communications system for streaming high quality, live video
A flexible and cost-effective technology for streaming high-quality underwater video images has been developed by researchers at KAUST by improving the bandwidth to achieve better video quality.
Neutrons detect elusive Higgs amplitude mode in quantum material
A team led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has used sophisticated neutron scattering techniques to detect an elusive quantum state known as the Higgs amplitude mode in a two-dimensional material.
Researchers find new source of dangerous electrical instability in the heart
Sudden cardiac death resulting from fibrillation - erratic heartbeat due to electrical instability - is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Now, researchers have discovered a fundamentally new source ...
Terahertz wireless could make spaceborne satellite links as fast as fiber-optic links
Hiroshima University, National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, and Panasonic Corporation announced the development of a terahertz (THz) transmitter capable of transmitting digital data at a rate exceeding ...
Invisibility cloaks can never hide objects from all observers
(Phys.org)—Ideal invisibility cloaks like those in Harry Potter may be physically impossible, a new study shows. The researchers demonstrate that even the best invisibility cloaks can hide an object from only some observers, ...
Terahertz wireless technology could bring fiber-optic speeds out of a fiber
Hiroshima University, the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, and Panasonic Corporation announced the development of a terahertz (THz) transmitter capable of signal transmission at a per-channel ...
Bats adapt their echolocation calls to noise
Bats find their way acoustically when they are flying by using echolocation calls, often also employing them when hunting for food. A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Seewiesen and the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität ...
Mice discriminate partial sounds just as humans do with partial words
Micheal L. Dent, a University at Buffalo psychologist, listens to what is inaudible to others. And what she's hearing might one day help us better understand human hearing loss.
