“It is great that MWC is back,” Samsung UK’s James Kitto said, opening up this year’s presser. “And behalf of everyone at Samsung, it’s great to be back at MWC.” What, precisely, it means to be “back” in 2021 is another question ent.....»»
Ultralight material withstands supersonic microparticle impacts
A new study by engineers at MIT, Caltech, and ETH Zürich shows that "nanoarchitected" materials—materials designed from precisely patterned nanoscale structures—may be a promising route to lightweight armor, protective coatings, blast shields, a.....»»
Apple Hires Former BMW Executive for Its Rebooted Car Project
Apple has hired Ulrich Kranz, a former senior executive at BMW AG's electric car division, to help lead its own vehicle efforts. Bloomberg reports: The technology giant hired Kranz in recent weeks, about a month after he stepped down as chief executi.....»»
Understanding how catalysts age could optimize industrial use
PSI researchers have developed a new tomography method with which they can measure chemical properties inside catalyst materials in 3D extremely precisely and faster than before. The method has applications for science and industry. The researchers p.....»»
Researchers improve efficiency and accessibility of CRISPR
One of the most powerful tools available to biologists these days is CRISPR-Cas9, a combination of specialized RNA and protein that acts like a molecular scalpel, allowing researchers to precisely slice and dice pieces of an organism's genetic code......»»

New study shines light on hazards of Earth"s largest volcano
Scientists from the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science analyzed ground movements measured by Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) satellite data and GPS stations to precisely model where magma int.....»»
Could You Really Climb the Spinning Ship’s Cable in Stowaway?
Anna Kendrick’s rotating spacecraft cleverly uses cables and a counterweight to make artificial gravity. But scaling them would be harder than it looks.....»»
Novel nanoreactor boosts performance of electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction
Precisely regulating the electronic structures of metal active species is highly desirable for electrocatalysis. Carbon-based substrates with inert surface provide weak metal-support interaction and thus are unable to modulate their electronic struct.....»»
New genetic copycatchers detect efficient and precise CRISPR editing in a living organism
Scientists have developed a novel genetic sensor called a 'CopyCatcher,' which capitalizes on CRISPR-based gene drive technology, to detect instances in which a genetic element is copied precisely from one chromosome to another throughout cells in th.....»»
Seamless in Sumatra: Joined-up thinking benefits tigers, climate and communities
Imagine a project that protects an apex predator, improves people's lives and promotes planetary health. It may sound like the stuff of fantasy, but this is no fairy tale. It is precisely what Fauna & Flora International (FFI) and our in-country part.....»»
