Ultrafast exciton dissociation mechanism in 2D perovskites
A research group led by Prof. Jin Shengye from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed an ultrafast and high-yield polaronic exciton dissociation mechanism in two-dimensional (2D) perovskites......»»
Study finds that past global photosynthesis reacted quickly to more carbon in the air
Ice cores allow climate researchers to look 800,000 years back in time. New research indicates that atmospheric carbon acts as fertilizer, increasing biological production. The mechanism removes carbon from the air and thereby slows the acceleration.....»»
Event horizons are tunable factories of quantum entanglement
Louisiana State University physicists have leveraged quantum information theory techniques to reveal a mechanism for amplifying, or "stimulating," the production of entanglement in the Hawking effect in a controlled manner. Furthermore, these scienti.....»»
Scientists identify a shuttle protein for the nuclear import of proteins essential for organ growth and development
Scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) have identified a nuclear import mechanism essential for organ growth and development. Manipulation of this mechanism has potential applications in the control of organ grow.....»»
This gene regulates positive and negative immune responses in plants
The mechanism of plant defense mediated by the non-expressor of pathogenesis-related (NPR) genes in monocots (plants having a single embryonic leaf) is not well-documented. Now, scientists from Tokyo University of Science have discovered how the NPR.....»»
Self-sustained diverter oscillation mechanism identified in fusion plasma experiment
To harness the forces that power the sun to produce substantial clean energy on Earth, researchers heat fuel to such a high temperature that atoms melt into electrons and nuclei to form a hot, gaseous soup called plasma. Roughly 20 times the temperat.....»»
THz–fingerprint vibrational spectroscopy at an ultrafast spectral rate
Raman spectroscopy offers a powerful approach to chemical measurement. By directly probing molecular vibrations, it obtains chemical specificity without the need for chemical labels. Thanks to these virtues, it has become an indispensable tool in a d.....»»
Study could help to defend humans and crops from yeast infection
Clues to the mechanism of yeast infections, which present risks to both humans and crops, have been identified in research co-led at the University of Strathclyde......»»
The Incredible Mechanism At The Heart of The JWST’s Adjustable Mirrors
How does it do all that with one single motor? The post The Incredible Mechanism At The Heart of The JWST’s Adjustable Mirrors appeared first on Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers......»»
New study advances knowledge of the battle between viruses and human cells
In the long-term battle between a herpesvirus and its human host, a University of Massachusetts virologist and her team of students have identified some human RNA able to resist the viral takeover—and the mechanism by which that occurs......»»
How the lizard tail can remain intact normally but break off when needed
A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in the United Arab Emirates and the U.S. has discovered the mechanism that allows lizards to maintain a tail during normal activities and then to release it when they need to avoid predators......»»
Protein structure offers clues to drug-resistance mechanism
MIT chemists have discovered the structure of a protein that can pump toxic molecules out of bacterial cells. Proteins similar to this one, which is found in E. coli, are believed to help bacteria become resistant to multiple antibiotics......»»
Researchers identify mechanism by which fatigue cracks grow
The reason most structures fail isn't due to shoddy material or violent impact. It's something far simpler, smaller and even dull: prolonged, low-amplitude fatigue......»»
A new way to shape a material"s atomic structure with ultrafast laser light
Thermoelectric materials convert heat to electricity and vice versa, and their atomic structures are closely related to how well they perform......»»
Content industry returns to market mechanism, OTT services to be next match point
Different media, which seemed to be starkly divided in the past, have seen their boundaries gradually blur while consolidating into the whole "content industry" in the digital era, driven by constant tech advancements and the rise of OTT and other on.....»»
Research suggest that SlIDI1 is involved in tomato carotenoid synthesis in a complex way
In recent work, researchers from the Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences characterized the molecular mechanism of color formation in an orange-fruited tomato inbred line, orange fruited tomato3 (.....»»
Intel"s Pay-As-You-Go CPU Feature Gets Launch Window
Intel's mysterious Software Defined Silicon (SDSi) mechanism for adding features to Xeon CPUs will be officially supported in Linux 5.18, the next major release of the operating system. Tom's Hardware reports: SDSi allows users to add features to the.....»»
Plant researchers discover cellular mechanism that extends the life of proteins
Plants are tied to one location and need to adjust to their environment, including adverse conditions. Adaptive responses include synthesizing new proteins and breaking down those that are no longer needed. For this task, plants use a considerable am.....»»
Intracellular bacteria use sophisticated "hack" to evade a host"s immune system
Researchers at UC Davis have discovered a signaling mechanism that allows bacteria like Salmonella to evade destruction by the host's immune system......»»
Google finds a 50% reduction in user account breaches after auto-enabling 2FA
Despite two-factor authentication not being a foolproof security measure, it is nonetheless considered more effective than simply using a password for protection. Google has been one of the proponents of this sign-in mechanism, which it calls two-ste.....»»
A new multipurpose on-off switch for inhibiting bacterial growth
Researchers in Lund have discovered an antitoxin mechanism that seems to be able to neutralize hundreds of different toxins and may protect bacteria against virus attacks. The mechanism has been named Panacea, after the Greek goddess of medicine whos.....»»
