Why NASA"s SPHEREx mission will make "Most colorful" cosmic map ever
NASA's SPHEREx mission won't be the first space telescope to observe hundreds of millions of stars and galaxies when it launches no later than April 2025, but it will be the first to observe them in 102 colors......»»
Safe, efficient method for synthesizing allenes opens up new possibilities for drug development
A research team jointly led by Professor Sung You Hong and Professor Jan-Uwe Rohde has unveiled a novel method for synthesizing allenes—a series of compounds integral to drug development and synthetic chemistry—without relying on hazardous, highl.....»»
Astrophysics study explores turbulence in molecular clouds
On an airplane, motions of the air on both small and large scales contribute to turbulence, which may result in a bumpy flight. Turbulence on a much larger scale is important to how stars form in giant molecular clouds that permeate the Milky Way......»»
Accelerating 3D nanofabrication using a sensitive cationic photoresist
Two-photon laser direct writing lithography or TPL is a cutting-edge technique used for creating nanoscale structures. It works by leveraging specific materials known as photoresists, which change their chemical properties when exposed to light. Thes.....»»

Nanofibrils study successfully measures strength of spider web "super fibers"
How small is "small?" Spider silk nanofibrils are just a few molecular layers thick, equivalent to approximately one ten-thousandth the diameter of a human hair. They're invisible to the naked eye and cannot be seen under an ordinary microscope......»»
Study finds comb jellies can reverse age
A new article published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals the unprecedented ability for reverse development in a ctenophore, also called comb jelly. The findings suggest that life cycle plasticity in animals might be more com.....»»
Optical amplifier and record-sensitive receiver pave the way for faster space communication
In space exploration, long-distance optical links can now be used to transmit images, films and data from space probes to Earth using light. But in order for the signals to reach all the way and not be disturbed along the way, hypersensitive receiver.....»»
Prolonged brain development of marmosets could serve as model for human evolution
The development of primate brains is shaped by various inputs. However, these inputs differ between independent breeders, such as great apes, and cooperative breeders, such as the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) and humans. In these species, gro.....»»
