Finely regulated luminescent Ag-In-Ga-S quantum dots with green-red dual emission toward white LEDs
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) materials have shown great potential for applications in lighting and display fields due to their wide color gamut, adjustable emission wavelength, high quantum efficiency, high color saturation, and low processing co.....»»
Researchers uncover role of plasma waves in mysterious heating of sun"s corona
There is a profound mystery in our sun. While the sun's surface temperature measures around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, its outer atmosphere, known as the solar corona, measures more like 2 million degrees Fahrenheit, about 200 times hotter......»»
Engineering perovskite materials at the atomic level paves way for new lasers, LEDs
Researchers have developed and demonstrated a technique that allows them to engineer a class of materials called layered hybrid perovskites (LHPs) down to the atomic level, which dictates precisely how the materials convert electrical charge into lig.....»»
Researchers create a three-dimensional multi-focus laser for glass micro-sculpting
Glass materials are widely used in optical and optoelectronic devices due to their low cost and excellent mechanical and optical properties. Among them, glass concave/convex linear structures with feature sizes ranging from several micrometers to hun.....»»
Emotion recognition goes beyond facial expressions, study finds
A person's facial expression provides crucial information for us to recognize their emotions. But there's much more to this process than that. This is according to research conducted by Dr. Leda Berio and Professor Albert Newen from the Institute of.....»»
Evolution in real time: Scientists predict—and witness—evolution in a 30-year marine snail experiment
Snails on a tiny rocky islet evolved before scientists' eyes. The marine snails were reintroduced after a toxic algal bloom wiped them out from the skerry. While the researchers intentionally brought in a distinct population of the same snail species.....»»
Targeting "undruggable" diseases: Researchers reveal new levels of detail in targeted protein degradation
Researchers at the University of Dundee have revealed in the greatest detail yet the workings of molecules called protein degraders which can be deployed to combat what have previously been regarded as "undruggable" diseases, including cancers and ne.....»»
How did the building blocks of life arrive on Earth? Zinc fingerprints in meteorites offer clues
Researchers have used the chemical fingerprints of zinc contained in meteorites to determine the origin of volatile elements on Earth. The results suggest that without 'unmelted' asteroids, there may not have been enough of these compounds on Earth f.....»»
New study reveals key players in global transshipment, boosting seafood transparency
Fish taxies—refrigerated cargo vessels or reefers that function as mobile ports for fishing boats—are frequently described as weak links in the traceability of the seafood value chain. For the first time, research has identified the owners of all.....»»
Study proposes that proteins can compartmentalize and form droplets inside cells
In physics, a system composed of two substances can be modeled in accordance with classical mixture theory, which considers the fraction corresponding to each constituent and the interactions among constituents. Examples include the coexistence of hi.....»»
Study unveils cobalt(III) reaction mechanism with nitriles, opening pathways for drug development
A research team led by Professor Jaeheung Cho from the Department of Chemistry at UNIST has published a study in the Journal of the American Chemical Society reporting the reaction mechanism of cobalt(III)-based metal complexes with nitrile substance.....»»
Harnessing quantum principles: Phased arrays within phased arrays for smarter, greener indoor optical wireless networks
Imagine a future where indoor wireless communication systems handle skyrocketing data demands and do so with unmatched reliability and speed. Traditional radio frequency (RF) technologies like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are beginning to struggle, plagued by.....»»
Researchers examine potential population decline in the gray fox
Gray foxes have been a staple of Virginia's—and the Southeast's—landscape for decades. In recent years, there's been a growing concern that they might be undergoing a population decline in the commonwealth......»»
Study finds coastal and rural areas in England less resilient
Coastal, rural and areas in the North of England are less able to withstand and recover from adverse events, according to new research which highlights regional disparities in community resilience......»»
Plant stem cells: Understanding the biological mechanism of growth control
Researchers from the University of Freiburg have identified the HAN molecule as an important regulator that controls plant growth in conjunction with WOX5. Understanding this mechanism is relevant for breeding more resilient or higher-yielding crops......»»
Scientists use light to visualize magnetic domains in quantum materials
When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a closer look. When magnets draw in physicists, they take a quantum look. Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University and the University of Tokyo have successfully used light to visualize tiny magne.....»»
