Researchers propose neuromorphic computing with optically driven nonlinear fluid dynamics
Sunlight sparkling on water evokes the rich phenomena of liquid-light interaction, spanning spatial and temporal scales. While the dynamics of liquids have fascinated researchers for decades, the rise of neuromorphic computing has sparked significant.....»»
Researchers investigate mass-ratio distribution of binaries identified from LAMOST-MRS survey
Most of what we know about the universe comes from studies on stars, and about half of the stars are found to be in binary systems. The close binary interaction between the stellar components may change the destiny of the stars......»»
Study provides new insights about the surface and structure of asteroid Bennu
When NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft collected samples from asteroid Bennu's surface in 2020, forces measured during the interaction provided scientists with a direct test of the poorly understood near-subsurface physical properties of rubble-pile aster.....»»
Study explores unusual interaction between viruses, live vaccines
A study of a herpes virus that infects chickens offers new insights into potentially problematic interactions between vaccines made from live viruses and the viruses they are meant to thwart......»»
Research team develops ultrabroadband edge coupler for highly efficient second harmonic generation
Thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) has recently emerged as a versatile nanophotonic platform. With the advantages of high optical confinement, enhanced light-matter interaction, and flexible dispersion control, TFLN-based periodically poled lithium nio.....»»
Cocrystal engineering: A technique for designing multifunctional materials
Cocrystal engineering is a strategy for assembling organic molecules via the non-covalent interaction force, avoiding harsh experimental conditions (i.e., high temperature and high pressure). By selecting the appropriate components, the donor-accepto.....»»
Interaction between nanoplastics and pectin, a water-soluble polysaccharide
Microplastics are known to collect in ecosystems and nanoplastics occur from the breaking down of microplastics. Nanoplastics are plastic particles of sizes less than 100 nm and when they are in water, they are dispersed in a colloidal form. Nanoplas.....»»
Gene interaction that contributes to rice heat tolerance identified
Rice is one of the most important staple crops, on which more than half of the world's population depends. But as temperatures rise and extreme weather events increase, rice is becoming more vulnerable. Genetically modified strains can withstand some.....»»
Antagonistic interactions of plant defense compounds
A combined defense of different chemical defense substances could result in a negative interaction and mutual detoxification, according to researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in a new study, appearing in Proceedings of the Na.....»»
Critical Zoom vulnerabilities fixed last week required no user interaction
If your machine failed to get them automatically, you're not alone. Enlarge (credit: Zoom) Google's Project Zero vulnerability research team detailed critical vulnerabilities Zoom patched last week making that made it possible.....»»
See four dwarf galaxies merging into one in this Hubble image
An image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows an unusual interaction of four dwarf galaxies, so close together that all of them would fit within the Milky Way......»»
Mixing laser beams and X-ray beams
Unlike fictional laser swords, real laser beams do not interact with each other when they cross—unless the beams meet within a suitable material allowing for nonlinear light-matter interaction. In such a case, wave mixing can give rise to beams wit.....»»
Pandemic babies with developmental delays can make up for lost social interaction: Five tips for parents
Typically, about 1 in 6 children experience a developmental delay. But children born during the pandemic, a 2022 study has found, have nearly twice the risk of developmental delays in communication and social development compared to babies born prior.....»»
Sweet lime oils defeat pests
Citrus peel and pulp is a growing waste problem in the food industry and in the home. However, there is potential to extract something useful from it. Work in the International Journal of Environment and Waste Management describes a simple steam dist.....»»
