Researchers explore the inner ring of CI Tauri
Using ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT), an international team of astronomers has probed the inner dusty ring of a young star known as CI Tauri (or CI Tau for short). Results of the study, published May 14 on the arXiv pre-print server, deliver import.....»»
Speed Demons: The New Generation Of 3D Printing
3D printing is great but it’s always been slooooow, with average print speeds for extruder movement around 60mm/sec. But in the past year or two, that number has gone up quite a lot, with some printers printing reliably at a blazing 250 or ev.....»»
Blazar 1ES 1959+650 investigated with Swift and XMM-Newton satellites
Using NASA's Swift observatory and ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, Indian astronomers have inspected a prominent high synchrotron peaked blazar known as 1ES 1959+650. Results of the study, published May 5 on the arXiv pre-print server, shed more light on.....»»
Butterfly tree of life reveals an origin in North America
About 100 million years ago, a group of trendsetting moths started flying during the day rather than at night, taking advantage of nectar-rich flowers that had co-evolved with bees. This single event led to the evolution of all butterflies......»»
Polychromatic full-polarization control in mid-infrared light
Mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) as one of the most important transparent atmosphere windows is less sensitive to interference from the background emission of the sun, providing a high-transmission zone for the finger-print spectra of various materials.....»»

Sizing them up: An algorithm to accurately quantify rapeseed silique morphology
Rapeseed or oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is an important crop cultivated worldwide for its oil-rich seeds. The rapeseed silique is an organ that plays a role in photosynthesis, sends developmental signals to maturing seeds, and provides a capsule.....»»
Researchers devise genetically encoded DNA origami for targeted and precise gene therapy in vivo
As genetic information carriers, nucleic acid molecules have been developed as gene therapeutic drugs. On the basis of complementary base pairing, nucleic acid can not only encode functional genes, but also precisely self-assemble into nanostructures.....»»
The dynamics of "hotspot forming" high-energy quasiparticles in a superconducting nanowire
Energetic quasiparticles possess a collection of quantum characteristics that operate in a particle-like way in superconducting nanostructures, and they can undergo relaxation by involving many cascaded interactions between electrons, phonons and Coo.....»»
