Team creates crystals that generate electricity from heat
To convert heat into electricity, easily accessible materials from harmless raw materials open up new perspectives in the development of safe and inexpensive so-called "thermoelectric materials." A synthetic copper mineral acquires a complex structur.....»»
Games of power: Scientists decode behavioral patterns of dominance between the sexes in mammals
The stronger and more aggressive sex dominates the weaker sex. This simplistic view of male-female dominance relationships is common but falls short of the complexity of how dominance hierarchies are established in animal societies......»»
Adient expects stronger 2023 after $2.2 billion sales hit this year
Automotive seating suppier Adient increased sales and earnings durings its fiscal fourth quarter despite headwinds that cost the automotive supplier $2.2 billion in revenue for the year. The seating and interiors supplier said quarterly sales surg.....»»
The surprising thermal properties of cellulose nanofibers
Plant-derived materials such as cellulose often exhibit thermally insulating properties. A new material made from nanoscale cellulose fibers shows the reverse, high thermal conductivity. This makes it useful in areas previously dominated by synthetic.....»»
Fresh chemical clues emerge for the unique sound of Stradivari violins
Another study found older, high-quality violins produce stronger combination tones Enlarge / A 1729 Stradivari known as the "Solomon, Ex-Lambert" on display at Christie's in New York in March 2007. (credit: Don Emmert/AFP/Getty I.....»»
Artificial intelligence makes enzyme engineering easy
You can't move a pharmaceutical scientist from a lab to a kitchen and expect the same research output. Enzymes behave exactly the same: They are dependent upon a specific environment. But now, in a study recently published in ACS Synthetic Biology, r.....»»
Intel"s comeback: Raptor Lake sales look stronger than AMD"s Zen 4
We're about a week and a half from Intel's 13th-gen Raptor Lake series launch which so far has included three K-SKU processors and three very similar KF models (without integrated graphics). While the Core i9-13900K was a bit of fizzer due to its hig.....»»
A new control system for synthetic genes
Using an approach based on CRISPR proteins, MIT researchers have developed a new way to precisely control the amount of a particular protein that is produced in mammalian cells......»»
A new paradigm to enhance tumor targeting with biomimetic nanovectors
Tumor targeting is a prerequisite for effective cancer therapy because it enhances the therapeutic outcome and decreases adverse effects. However, effective targeting is challenging to achieve with nanoparticles (NPs) coated with synthetic targeting.....»»
Looking to sea urchins for stronger ceramic foams
Ling Li, assistant professor in Virginia Tech's Department of Mechanical Engineering, has unlocked a mystery in the porous microstructures of sea urchin exoskeletons that could lead to the creation of lightweight synthetic ceramics. His findings were.....»»
"Forever chemicals" persist through wastewater treatment, may enter crops
PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances), a group of more than 4,700 fully synthetic compounds that are widely used in industrial and manufacturing processes and found in many consumer products, persist through wastewater treatment at levels that ma.....»»
2D graphdiyne a potential key element for future generations of energy storage and conversion technologies
A synthetic carbon-based crystalline material called graphdiyne (GDY) has become a probable key element in driving the next significant leap in battery technology—one not seen since lithium surpassed lead and other heavy metals in the early 1990s......»»
Case study discovers ecological impact of water-soluble polymers
Water-soluble synthetic polymers (WSSPs) are found in many everyday products. What the consequences are when these plastics enter rivers, lakes and oceans is still largely unexplored. A team from the University of Bayreuth has now systematically inve.....»»
UK regulator needs teeth to curb big tech, MPs say
They urge publication of a draft bill that could see firms fined 10% of turnover for market abuses......»»
Socure releases Sigma Synthetic Fraud Model to identify manipulated and fabricated identities
Socure has released its newest Sigma Synthetic Fraud model, a synthetic identity fraud detection solution that identifies manipulated and fabricated identities with precision. Core to the precision of Sigma Synthetic Fraud is the integration of two c.....»»
Western wildfires spark stronger storms in downwind states
A new study shows for the first time that wildfires burning in West Coast states can strengthen storms in downwind states. Heat and tiny airborne particles produced by western wildfires distantly intensify severe storms, in some cases bringing baseba.....»»
Chew on this: Personalized health care for mountain gorillas
A mountain gorilla walks in the forest of East Africa's Virunga Volcanoes conservation area. It stops at a piece of wild celery, sits down, and begins to chew. It strips the vegetable's fibrous threads through its teeth, extracting the fleshy, juicy.....»»
Scientists move one step closer to producing functional synthetic cells
Scientists at DWI—Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials have come one step closer to the objective of producing functional synthetic cells. The research group is probing the necessary ingredients for the design and development of materials wi.....»»
