Improving coseismic slip measurements
Geologists describe the process of an earthquake as occurring in three distinct phases. During the interseismic phase, strain builds up along a fault as adjacent pieces of crust catch onto one another and move in opposite directions. This strain even.....»»
MagSafe Monday: Two simple accessories that go a long way to improving your iPhone
MagSafe is one of those technologies, similar to smart home products, allowing you to go wild with extending your device. Sometimes, the most uncomplicated products are the most effective. This week, I am looking at two products that every iPhone own.....»»
Using isotopic measurements on stalagmites to investigate "climate hiccups"
Climate changes usually happen over long periods of time, but during the last glacial period, extreme fluctuations in temperature occurred within just a few years. Researchers at the University of Basel have now been able to prove the phenomenon also.....»»
Clouds disappear quickly during a solar eclipse, shows study
Cumulus clouds over land start to disappear almost instantly during a partial solar eclipse. Until recently, satellite measurements during the eclipse resulted in dark spots in the cloud map, but researchers from TU Delft and KNMI were able to recove.....»»
MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 Proves to be a Financial Success for the Company
Should Qualcomm be worried? The post MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 Proves to be a Financial Success for the Company appeared first on Phandroid. MediaTek’s efforts towards improving its flagship SoC offerings has seemingly paid off.....»»
Whole-infrared-band camouflage with dual-band radiative heat dissipation
Camouflage refers to the ability to reduce the signal captured by detectors, thereby improving survival rates. However, the combination of detectors operating in multiple spectral bands poses a significant challenge, necessitating the development of.....»»
Adient sales fall flat as auto supplier looks at new business opportunities
Adient plc’s revenue stagnated in the first quarter, though its CEO said business performance is improving and margins will, too. The company, which has its North American base in Plymouth, about 27 miles West of Detroit, had sales of $3.66 bill.....»»
Hall effect uncovers hidden symmetry in spin-ice
Physicists from the University of Augsburg succeeded in distinguishing chiral orders with similar magnetization but an opposite sense of rotation through electrical measurements at low temperatures. This is relevant for fundamental research on comple.....»»
Advanced measurements unravel nanoscale phenomena in tungsten diselenide
Semiconductor 2D materials are a few atoms thick, and some of them exhibit localized emission, where light is emitted from such a small part of the layer that only one photon at a time is produced. This localized emission has unique properties and is.....»»
Micro-LED Apple Watch Ultra might be pushed back even further, to 2027
A micro-LED Apple Watch Ultra has been variously predicted to launch in 2024, 2025, and 2026 – but a new report today suggests that it may slip to 2027, or even later. The problem is said to be Apple’s hesitation over the high cost of the micr.....»»
How to increase your internet speed in 7 easy steps
Quickly finding out that your internet speed is not what it used to be? Here are the best options for improving your internet speeds without giving anything up......»»
Improving accuracy of molecular quantification in high throughput sequencing
A team at NDORMS has developed a new approach to significantly improve the accuracy of RNA sequencing. They have pinpointed the primary source of inaccurate quantification in both short and long-read RNA sequencing, and have introduced the concept of.....»»
Improving climate predictions by unlocking the secrets of soil microbes
Climate models are essential to predicting and addressing climate change, but can fail to adequately represent soil microbes, a critical player in ecosystem soil carbon sequestration that affects the global carbon cycle......»»
Progress on chip-based spontaneous four-wave mixing quantum light sources
A single-photon detector (SPD) is sensitive to incidence of individual quanta of light and has many applications in photonics, such as fluorescence measurements, laser ranging, optical time-domain reflectometer, and quantum optics experiments......»»
Improving Arctic greenhouse gas sink and source estimates with field measurements, remote sensing
A new study investigates the sinks and sources of key greenhouse gases of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide in the Arctic landscape with a spatial resolution of only a few square meters. Vegetation and soil conditions explain the differences.....»»

Study predicts best times for Curiosity to sample Mars" methane
Since methane was first detected in Mars' atmosphere 20 years ago, scientists have struggled to uncover its origins and how it is transported around the Red Planet. Measurements from atmospheric samples collected by NASA's Curiosity rover at Gale cra.....»»
Training to reduce cognitive bias may improve decision making after all
Ever since Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky formalized the concept of cognitive bias in 1972, most empirical evidence has given credence to the claim that our brain is incapable of improving our decision-making abilities. Cognitive bias has practical.....»»
