Researchers achieve ultra-high-Q free space coupling to microtoroid resonators
Scientists from the University of Arizona have achieved far-field coupling of light to ultra-high quality factor microtoroids using a single objective lens. This could provide the foundation for a fully on-chip multiplexed microtoroid sensing platfor.....»»
Transformation and mechanisms of climate wet/dry change on the northern Tibetan Plateau under global warming
Historical patterns of climate change can provide ways to predict future climate change. During geological history, the earth has experienced many warm periods of different time scales, such as the mid-Holocene warm period, the medieval climate anoma.....»»
A rethink of diseases in light of phase separation and phase transition may be necessary
A review delves into the significance of biomolecular condensation in cellular processes, the impact of aberrant phase separation on diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, and infectious diseases, and the potential for manipulating pha.....»»
Experts say coral reef bleaching near record level globally because of "crazy" ocean heat
Ocean temperatures that have gone "crazy haywire" hot, especially in the Atlantic, are close to making the current global coral bleaching event the worst in history. It's so bad that scientists are hoping for a few hurricanes to cool things off......»»
No, Assassin’s Creed Shadows won’t be online only
