Scientists apply Raman quantitative 3D imaging to microbial monitoring
Microorganisms are important contributors to the deep-sea sulfur cycle. However, in-situ detection of deep-sea microorganisms faces great challenges due to the extreme complexity of the deep-sea environment, the difficulty of sampling, isolation and.....»»
Human cells hacked to act like squid skin cells could unlock key to camouflage
It's not possible to culture squid skin cells in the lab; this approach provides a solution. Enlarge / Certain squid have the ability to camouflage themselves by making themselves transparent and/or changing their coloration. (c.....»»
Pulsing ultrasound waves could someday remove microplastics from waterways
Colorful particles of plastic drift along under the surface of most waterways, from headwater streams to the Arctic Ocean. These barely visible microplastics—less than 5 mm wide—are potentially harmful to aquatic animals and plants, as well as hu.....»»
Human cells help researchers understand squid camouflage
Squids and octopuses are masters of camouflage, blending into their environment to evade predators or surprise prey. Some aspects of how these cephalopods become reversibly transparent are still "unclear," largely because researchers can't culture ce.....»»
Simplified calculations reproduce complex plasma flows
Accurate and fast calculation of heat flow (heat transport) due to fluctuations and turbulence in plasmas is an important issue in elucidating the physical mechanisms of fusion reactors and in predicting and controlling their performance......»»
Team develops 2D ultrasound-responsive antibacterial nano-sheets to effectively address bone tissue infection
A research team led by Professor Kelvin Yeung Wai-kwok from the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, School of Clinical Medicine, LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) has invented a non-invasive and non-antibiotics te.....»»
Researchers turn Superglue into a recyclable, cheap, oil-free plastic alternative
Our team used Superglue as a starting material to develop a low-cost, recyclable and easily produced transparent plastic called polyethyl cyanoacrylate that has properties similar to those of plastics used for single-use products like cutlery, cups a.....»»

Meta announces 10,000 job lost in “Year of Efficiency”
Meta to announce 10,000 jobs to be lost in an effort to adhere to its "year of efficiency." Last fall, Meta received feedback from employees asking management to be more transparent about its restructuring plans. Well, they got what they a.....»»
Klara, a transparent fish for research on aging
The body pigmentation of an organism is caused by coloring substances and structures that are found in the cells of skin, hair, feathers, or scales, for example. This pigmentation considerably limits investigations of important processes within a liv.....»»
Ford recalls more than 1.3M Fusion, Lincoln MKZ cars globally for braking defect
The recall covers certain 2013-18 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles. It affects nearly 1.3 million vehicles in the U.S., about 66,000 in Canada and 18,000 in Mexico, Ford said......»»
A cheaper and more flexible alternative to indium tin oxide
A team of chemists at Purdue University, working with a pair of colleagues from the University of Kentucky, has developed a way to make PBDF, a type of transparent conducting material, at an easily synthesized scale. In their paper published in Journ.....»»
Resistance in tokamak vessel walls can cause disruptive energy loss
Under certain conditions, the fusion devices known as tokamaks can suffer a sudden loss of energy to the vessel walls. Researchers call this energy loss process a disruption. One cause is a magnetohydrodynamic (i.e., conducting plasma in a magnetic f.....»»
Fighting financial fraud through fusion centers
Keeping up with financial fraud is incredibly difficult because accurate fraud detection requires a deep, real-time analysis of all the events surrounding a transaction. Consider a typical payment transaction: A single transfer of funds to a new paye.....»»

Whistic has formed a collaboration with Google Cloud to provide customers with a transparent security profile, which includes a full Google Cloud Assessment Report. Google Cloud customers can now leverage Whistic’s Trust Catalog to view the latest.....»»
Researchers develop new imaging approach to diagnose advanced form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common chronic liver disease in the world. In its advanced form, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is curable when diagnosed and treated in its early stages. However, when left untreated, it could pro.....»»
Laser shots could spark additional discoveries in astrophysics
In December, the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory made headlines worldwide. Scientists at the NIF performed the first nuclear fusion experiment in which the energy produc.....»»
Imaging through random media using coherent averaging
A recent study affiliated with UNIST has introduced an effective method of restoring images distorted by fog. According to the research team, their method can also provide a breakthrough by exploiting the random fluctuations for diffraction-limited i.....»»
Scientists reveal molecular structure of bacterial gas vesicles
Similar in function to ballast tanks in submarines or fish bladders, many water-based bacteria use gas vesicles to regulate their floatability. In a new publication in Cell, scientists from the Departments of Bionanoscience and Imaging Physics now de.....»»
