New phase for synthetic aperture microscopy
Microscopy is an essential tool in multiple research fields and industries, such as biology, medicine, materials science, and quality control, to name a few. Although many microscopy techniques exist, each has pros and cons, mostly in terms of spatia.....»»
Supersize the cell: Unlocking genome secrets through expansion microscopy
The ability to turn genes on or off is fundamental to the diversity we see in cells, in individuals, and even in terms of health and disease. This process, known as gene transcription, involves converting the information stored in our DNA into a "car.....»»
Octopuses sleep—and possibly dream—just like humans
The cephalopods experience an apparent sleep state with REM-like activity. Enlarge (credit: Imagen Rafael Cosme Daza ) Most creatures sleep, but until now, REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, the phase of sleep in which drea.....»»
Research team develops process for bio-based nylon
In T-shirts, stockings, shirts, and ropes—or as a component of parachutes and car tires—polyamides are used everywhere as synthetic fibers. At the end of the 1930s, the name Nylon was coined for such synthetic polyamides. Nylon-6 and Nylon-6.6 ar.....»»
Researchers propose post-synthetic modification of covalent organic frameworks for carbon dioxide electroreduction
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), possessing ordered pores and high-precision functionalization, are regarded as an ideal class of templates to construct catalysts for electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR)......»»
Orbital angular momentum boosts multiplexed holography
Optical holography is a powerful method for recording and reconstructing complete optical field information, including intensity and phase. It has found extensive applications in various fields, such as optical display, imaging, data storage, encrypt.....»»
Microscopy techniques combine to create more powerful imaging device
If you imagine yourself peering through a microscope, you probably picture looking at a glass slide with an amoeba, or maybe a human cell, or perhaps even a small insect of some kind......»»
TSMC sends more Taiwanese workers to finish Arizona plant
Apple's processor supplier TSMC says that to ensure a "fast ramp up" of its new Arizona Factory, it is sending more workers from Taiwan for this "critical phase."TSMCEven as TSMC objects to conditions imposed by the US — it effectively has to pay t.....»»
Research team reports on discovery of grain-interior planar defects induced by heteroatom monolayer
In collaboration with the Institute of Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IPCAS), researchers from Beijing University of Technology (BJUT) have discovered a new type of grain-interior planar defect in a ceramic phase in TiC doped cemented tu.....»»

World"s largest filled-aperture radio telescope finds missing link in evolution of spider pulsar system
Researchers from the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) and their collaborators at home and abroad have discovered a binary pulsar with a 53-minute orbital period using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spheri.....»»
3D pattern generation via chemical vapor deposition of ceramic eutectic system for novel solid-state phosphors
The eutectic structure of metals and ceramics occurs when multiple solid phases solidify from a liquid phase, forming a three-dimensional (3D) pattern through a self-organizing phenomenon. Traditionally, it was believed that eutectic structures could.....»»
New millisecond pulsar detected with FAST
Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), a team of Chinese astronomers has detected a new millisecond pulsar in the globular cluster Messier 53. The finding is reported in a research paper published June 16 on the pre-p.....»»
“Stunning”—Midjourney update wows AI artists with camera-like feature

Physicists develop a novel quantum theory of light-induced matter
A team led by a physicist from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently developed a new quantum theory that explains the "light-induced phase" of matter and predicts its novel functionalities. The new theory has the potential to revolutionize th.....»»
Electron acceleration efficiency during the impulsive phase of a solar flare: X-ray and microwave observations
Solar flares are known to be prolific electron accelerators, yet identifying the mechanism(s) for such efficient electron acceleration in magnetic reconnection events at the sun (and similar astrophysical settings) presents a major challenge in astro.....»»
Revealing magnetic mysteries: Breakthrough builds better single molecule magnets
Scientists from the University of Ottawa have invented a unique method to create better molecule-based magnets, known as single-molecule magnets (SMMs). This synthetic tour de force has resulted in a two-coordinate lanthanide complex which has magnet.....»»
