Changing the color of commonly used agricultural nets lessens insect damage to Kujo leek fields
Red nets are better at keeping away a common agricultural insect pest than typical black or white nets, according to a new study. Researchers have experimented with the effect of red, white, black and combination-colored nets on deterring onion thrip.....»»
Researchers solve a foundational problem in transmitting quantum information
Future quantum electronics will differ substantially from conventional electronics. Whereas memory in the latter is stored as binary digits, the former is stored as qubits, which can take many forms, such as entrapped electrons in nanostructures know.....»»
Enrichment of anchoring sites via supramolecular halogen bonds for efficient perovskite nanocrystal LEDs
Colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles can be viewed as a complex of an inorganic single crystal core and a monolayer of organic ligands. The location and type of ligand anchoring on the nanocrystal surface are critical to the nanocrystal morphology,.....»»
Canada ice fishing season gets off to late start due to warm weather
On a frozen river in Canada, a cluster of brightly colored cabins stand out against the white snow as vehicles crawl to and fro......»»
"Speckles" the piebald dolphin makes a splash as Australian first
University of the Sunshine Coast researchers believe they have recorded one of the world's most unusually colored dolphins for the first time in Australia. With its patchy black-and-white coloring, the dolphin is one of only six cases in the world wh.....»»
Machine learning guides carbon nanotechnology
Carbon nanostructures could become easier to design and synthesize thanks to a machine learning method that predicts how they grow on metal surfaces. The new approach, developed by researchers at Japan's Tohoku University and China's Shanghai Jiao To.....»»
