Phase diagram for infinite layer nickel superconductors
NUS physicists have developed a method to induce the transition of a rare-earth nickelate from their native perovskite form to infinite-layer structures. This allowed them to build a complete phase diagram of this nickelate superconductor......»»
Using deep learning to image the Earth"s planetary boundary layer
Although the troposphere is often thought of as the closest layer of the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, the planetary boundary layer (PBL)—the lowest layer of the troposphere—is actually the part that most significantly influences weather nea.....»»
5 reasons Elon Musk is cutting jobs at Tesla ahead of Q1 earnings
"About every five years, we need to reorganize and streamline the company for the next phase of growth," CEO Elon Musk said. Tesla reports earnings April 23 after global sales fell 8.5 percent last quarter on weak demand......»»
A single atom layer of gold—researchers create goldene
For the first time, scientists have managed to create sheets of gold only a single atom layer thick. The material has been termed goldene. According to researchers from Linköping University, Sweden, this has given the gold new properties that can ma.....»»
"Dark Matter" trailer teases a black box that leads to infinite versions of one man"s life
The trailer for "Dark Matter, a new Apple TV+ sci-fi series based on Blake Crouch's novel and starring Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly, has dropped. What if you could access every different infinite version of the life you could have led?Th.....»»
Stopping security breaches by managing AppSec posture
Many security vulnerabilities result from human error, and the majority of these are reflected in the application layer. These errors may occur at any stage in the software development life cycle, from code to cloud. In this Help Net Security video,.....»»
How Google’s 90-day TLS certificate validity proposal will affect enterprises
Announced last year, Google’s proposal to reduce the lifespan of TLS (transport layer security) certificates from 13 months to 90 days could be implemented in the near future. It will certainly improve security and shrink the window of opportunity.....»»
Coal phase-out could be cheaper than currently implemented in Germany
Germany is providing 5 billion euros to finance "adaptation payments" to employees as coal is phased out. This will allow employees to retire without deductions at the age of 58. A study co-authored by the Berlin-based climate research institute MCC.....»»
Quantum entanglement in quasiparticles: A stealth mode against disorder
Physicists at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) have made a discovery that could boost the understanding of the role of entanglement in high-temperature copper oxide superconductors. The low-energy quasiparticles of these enigmatic quan.....»»
Scientists report that buffer and pH strongly affect the phase separation of SARS-CoV-2 N protein
In a new paper published in Molecular Biology of the Cell, the Allain lab (IBC) reported that the phase separation of the SARS-CoV-2 N protein strongly depends on the chosen buffer and pH. For example, the protonation of a single histidine side chain.....»»
New signaling pathway decoded in the decomposition of damaged lysosomes
Lysosomes are surrounded by a lipid bilayer that separates the acidic environment and the digestive enzymes of the organelle from the cytoplasm. Damage to this layer—lysosomal membrane permeabilization, or LMP for short—can trigger inflammation a.....»»
Nonvolatile quantum memory: Discovery points path to flash-like memory for storing qubits
Rice University physicists have discovered a phase-changing quantum material—and a method for finding more like it—that could potentially be used to create flash-like memory capable of storing quantum bits of information, or qubits, even when a q.....»»
How NASA"s Roman Telescope will measure the ages of stars
Guessing your age might be a popular carnival game, but for astronomers it's a real challenge to determine the ages of stars. Once a star like our sun has settled into steady nuclear fusion, or the mature phase of its life, it changes little for bill.....»»
Eight ways to ensure Indonesia"s nickel sector is sustainable
President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo's ambition to turn Indonesia into a global hub for electric vehicle (EV) battery production has thrust the nation's mining commodities, particularly nickel, into the spotlight......»»
Forget Dyson: This Samsung cordless vacuum is only $280 today
The Samsung Jet 60 Pet cordless stick vacuum, featuring a five-layer filtration system and a 40-minute battery life, is down to $280 after $50 off from Samsung......»»
Landmark advances in employment reframe the outlook for people with disabilities in post-pandemic era
A recent commentary published in The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine highlights the unprecedented upward trend in employment for people with disabilities, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic's economic recovery phase......»»
A total eclipse, with a partial failure: Scientific expeditions don"t always go as planned
For centuries, astronomers have realized that total solar eclipses offer a valuable scientific opportunity. During what's called totality, the opaque moon completely hides the bright photosphere of the sun—its thin surface layer that emits most of.....»»
Veracode acquires Longbow Security to help organizations reduce application risk
Veracode announced the acquisition of Longbow Security, a pioneer in security risk management for cloud-native environments. The acquisition marks the next exciting phase of Veracode, underscoring the company’s commitment to help organizations mana.....»»
Research team realizes magnonic frequency comb
The optical frequency comb, a spectrum of optical radiation composed of evenly spaced and phase-coherent narrow spectral lines, was initially developed for precise time and frequency measurements. Over the past two decades, it has shown broad applica.....»»
Memories of mitosis: Molecular mechanism that detects defects during cell division could aid cancer treatment
Every day, our cells are hard at work multiplying. Cell division is a precise process, but sometimes this process is impaired and diseases like cancer occur. Mitosis is one of the most important phases in the cell cycle. During this phase, a cell's D.....»»
Organoids research identifies factor involved in brain expansion in humans
What makes us human? According to neurobiologists it is our neocortex. This outer layer of the brain is rich in neurons and lets us do abstract thinking, create art, and speak complex languages. An international team led by Dr. Mareike Albert at the.....»»
