Turing structures in a manmade interface
In 1952, Alan Turing, the father of computer science and artificial intelligence, proposed that certain repetitive natural patterns may be produced by the interaction of two specific substances through the reaction-diffusion process. In this system,.....»»
From sheets to stacks, new nanostructures promise leap for advanced electronics
Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have successfully engineered multi-layered nanostructures of transition metal dichalcogenides that meet in-plane to form junctions. They grew out layers of multi-layered structures of molybdenum disulfide.....»»
The mathematics of cell boundary "ruggedness"
Researchers have uncovered both the mathematical and biological mechanism behind the rugged structures at cell boundaries found in tissues such as the kidneys and nasal glands. The team hopes that their new insights can help develop new ways of treat.....»»
Climate change increases the risk of extreme wildfires around Cape Town, but it can be addressed, say researchers
Across the globe, many recent severe wildfires have moved from wildlands into the urban periphery (the "wildland urban interface"). In their wake, they've left death, destruction and disruption. This has led to questions about the extent to which cli.....»»
360-million-year-old Irish fossil provides oldest evidence of plant self-defense in wood
Plants can protect their wood from infection and water loss by forming special structures called "tyloses." These prevent bacterial and fungal pathogens from getting into the heartwood of living trees and damaging it. How early in the evolution of pl.....»»
GIS to generate sequential revenue increases through 4Q23
Touch solution provider General Interface Solution (GIS) is expected to generate sequential revenue increases starting the second quarter of 2023, with the fourth quarter reaching the year's peak, according to industry sources......»»
Dubious leak claims watchOS 10 interface change includes folders
A sketchy rumor suggests that watchOS 10 will have a new homescreen layout, with the refresh allegedly including folders for sorting apps.Rumors have already circulated about watchOS 10 being a major update, with big changes to the user interface exp.....»»
New light sheet holography overcomes the depth perception challenge in 3D holograms
Holography—the use of light projection to display images—can be used to construct holograms, which are three-dimensional structures of light that depict true-to-life objects and scenes. While today's technologies can't yet produce the incredibly.....»»
Feces from coral-eating fish may act as "probiotics" for reefs
Until recently, fish that eat coral—corallivores—were thought to weaken reef structures, while fish that consume algae and detritus—grazers—were thought to keep reefs healthy. But scientists have discovered that feces from grazers leave large.....»»
Nokia’s Pure UI is Already Available on Some of its Apps
It looks like it's only a matter of time before we see Pure UI appear on even more Nokia apps soon. Nokia’s debut of its new software interface has met a somewhat rocky start, but that hasn’t stopped the Finnish telecoms giant f.....»»
The Big Bang"s Afterglow Reveals Invisible Cosmic Structures
Scientists are using secondary signatures from the cosmic microwave background to map the universe’s hidden matter......»»
GIS to see Apple orders start picking up in 2Q23
Touch solution provider General Interface Solution (GIS), which generated up to 80% of its revenue from shipments of MacBooks and other Apple products, is expected to see its biggest customer replenish inventory gradually starting in the second quart.....»»
A new quantum approach to solve electronic structures of complex materials
If you know the atoms that compose a particular molecule or solid material, the interactions between those atoms can be determined computationally, by solving quantum mechanical equations—at least, if the molecule is small and simple. However, solv.....»»
Scientists turned monkey stem cells into “synthetic embryos”

Developing tunable molecular switches from organic compounds
Newly synthesized organic molecules can be tuned to emit different colors depending on their molecular structures in crystal form......»»
Scientists Turned Monkey Stem Cells Into ‘Synthetic Embryos’
For the first time, researchers transferred them to the wombs of female monkeys, where the embryo-like structures produced a response similar to pregnancy......»»
This video shows what it’s like using an Apple Lisa from 1983 in 2023
Apple Lisa was introduced 40 years ago. And although it never became a hit due to its high price, Lisa paved the way for the Macintosh and other computers with a graphical user interface. But how does the Lisa compare to modern computers and even de.....»»
Several Nokia Phones Get Software Updates
Several devices including the Nokia XR20, G50, X30 5G, and X20 have gotten security patches for March 2023. Nokia has been in the news a lot lately, especially with the debut of its new digital product interface, as well as wanting to put 4.....»»
Sex, power and colonialism: "Marriages and sexuality were fundamental to colonial power"
Sex and power are closely linked, and this was certainly true in the former Dutch colonies. Ph.D. student Sophie Rose has investigated how sexual and love relationships influenced eighteenth-century power structures there. "You can see that there was.....»»
Low sulfide concentration in Mercury"s smooth plains inhibits geomorphic hollows
A probe on Mercury used for the purpose of "surface-space-environment-geochemistry-and-ranging" abbreviated as the MESSENGER mission to Mercury, resulted in the discovery of geological structures known as hollows. Such landforms are quintessentially.....»»
Using green energy for electrochemical corrosion protection
Metal corrosion seriously affects the service life of marine steel structures. The traditional cathodic protection needs great consumption of energy and metal resources. Therefore, it's imperative to develop green and cost-effective energy sources fo.....»»
