Researchers can now visualize osmotic pressure in living tissue
In order to survive, organisms must control the pressure inside them, from the single-cell level to tissues and organs. Measuring these pressures in living cells and tissues in physiological conditions is a challenge......»»
New measuring tool tracks food security over time
Researchers from the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management have developed a new method for measuring food insecurity, which for millions of people in the U.S. is more than just an abstract concept......»»
Measuring mechanical stresses and strains in graphene-based supercapacitor electrodes
Texas A&M University researchers have discovered that when charging a supercapacitor, it stores energy and responds by stretching and expanding. This finding can be used to design new materials for flexible electronics or other devices that must be b.....»»

Carl Sagan detected life on Earth 30 years ago—here"s how his experiment is helping us search for alien species today
It's been 30 years since a group of scientists led by Carl Sagan found evidence for life on Earth using data from instruments on board the Nasa Galileo robotic spacecraft. Yes, you read that correctly. Among his many pearls of wisdom, Sagan was famou.....»»
iPhone 15 fails to save TSMC from lowest profits in five years
Apple's iPhone processor manufacturer TSMC has posted its greatest drop in profits since 2019, despite the quarter ending with the release of the iPhone 15 range.Ahead of its July 2023 earnings report, analysts had correctly predicted that TSMC's pro.....»»
Measuring the changing soundscape in Glacier National Park
From the eerie echo of a bugling elk to the gentle swoosh of water lapping against a stony shore, a unique combination of sounds helps distinguish each national park. This acoustic environment, as perceived by humans, is known as a soundscape, and it.....»»
Interplay of free electrons: Tailored electron pulses for improved electron microscopy
Electron microscopes provide unique vistas of nanoscale structures, but their resolution is limited by the mutual repulsion of electrons. Researchers in Göttingen have now succeeded in precisely measuring the influence of these interactions. They di.....»»
Measuring nutrition in crops using satellites
With many people around the world suffering from various forms of malnutrition it's important that the absolute basics such as rice, soya and wheat are as nourishing as possible. Research shows that the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission and the Italian P.....»»
Mont Blanc shrinks by over two meters in two years
France's highest mountain, Mont Blanc, has shrunk by over two meters in height over the past two years, researchers said on Thursday, measuring the Alpine peak at 4,805.59 meters (15,766.4 feet)......»»
A precise test of quantum electrodynamics: Measuring the g factor of electrons in hydrogen-like tin
Quantum electrodynamics is the best-tested theory in physics. It describes all electrical and magnetic interactions of light and matter. Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik in Heidelberg (MPIK) have now used precision measurements o.....»»
Q&A: New tool supports private industry in minimizing impacts to nature"s services
Companies and investors are increasingly considering, and measuring, the impacts of their business activities on nature, or "natural capital" (the world's stock of natural assets like air, water, soil, and biodiversity). This includes how impacts to.....»»
Researchers propose a unified, scalable framework to measure agricultural greenhouse gas emissions
Increased government investment in climate change mitigation is prompting agricultural sectors to find reliable methods for measuring their contribution to climate change. With that in mind, a team led by scientists at the University of Illinois Urba.....»»
All-fiber ellipsometer for nanoscale dielectric coatings
Measuring the refractive index and the thickness of thin films (films with a thickness from less than a nanometer to several microns) is essential to characterize them and improve the performance of sensors and devices that employ thin films. The mos.....»»
Matter found to comprise 31% of the total amount of matter and energy in the universe
One of the most interesting and important questions in cosmology is, "How much matter exists in the universe?" An international team, including scientists at Chiba University, has now succeeded in measuring the total amount of matter for the second t.....»»
Measuring dark matter halos around ancient quasars
At the center of every galaxy is a supermassive black hole. Beyond a certain size, these become active, emitting huge amounts of radiation, and are then called quasars. It is thought these are activated by the presence of massive dark matter halos (D.....»»
Scientists study mode switching control for drag-free satellite based on region of attraction
In recent decades, drag-free satellites have been used in high-precision missions, such as testing the general relativity, verifying the geodetic and frame-dragging effects, measuring Earth's gravity field, etc. In space gravitational wave detection,.....»»
