A team led by Prof. Sun Haiding from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) developed a vertically integrated micro-scale light-emitting diode (micro-LED) array which was then applied in deep ultraviolet (DUV) maskless photolithogra.....»»
AI model predicts diarrheal disease outbreaks related to climate change
Climate change-related extreme weather, such as massive flooding and prolonged drought, often results in dangerous outbreaks of diarrheal diseases particularly in less developed countries, where diarrheal disease is the third leading cause of death a.....»»
Novel light source enables better temporal resolution of UV-induced molecular dynamics
The Attosecond Science group at the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science has developed a novel light source capable of producing extremely short pulses for the investigation of UV-induced molecular dynamics with unprecedented temporal resolution. S.....»»
Search results for dark photon leptonic decays manage to exclude new regions
Dark photons are hypothetical particles that resemble light particles (i.e., photons), but interact weakly with normal matter, which would make them impossible or very difficult to detect using conventional experimental methods. These particles are d.....»»
On the way to light-controlled medicine: Researchers elucidate the structure of specific photoreceptors
Researchers in biology and medicine have long dreamed of controlling the activities of cells without, for example, having to use chemicals. After all, in a structure as complex as an entire organism, unwanted side-effects can often arise......»»
Nanomedicine advances deliver precise antibiotic doses to fight infections and drug resistance
Researchers from the University of Waterloo have developed a new technology that can hold an entire course of antibiotics in one tiny dose and deliver on demand just the right amount of medication that a particular patient needs to fight an infection.....»»
Crucial role of peer support for African American doctoral students at predominantly white institutions
A new study conducted by researchers at George Washington University sheds light on the critical role that same-race peer groups play in the success of African American doctoral students at predominantly white institutions (PWIs). The research unders.....»»
High-resolution, nanoscale imaging method could accelerate the discovery of more durable materials
Take a photo with your phone and you might see wonderful details—leaves on a tree, strands of hair blowing in the wind. The width of that strand of hair is 100,000 nanometers wide. The best traditional laboratory microscope that uses light may capt.....»»
Risk of cardiovascular disease linked to long-term exposure to arsenic in community water supplies
Long term exposure to arsenic in water may increase cardiovascular disease and especially heart disease risk even at exposure levels below the federal regulatory limit (10µg/L) according to a study at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Hea.....»»
De-extinction company provides a progress report on thylacine efforts
Stem cell editing, complete genome, and cane toad resistance mark necessary steps. Colossal, the company founded to try to restore the mammoth to the Arctic tundra, has also deci.....»»
Ram"s U.S. sales are rebounding after incentive drive, CEO says
Light-truck brand is trying to clear inventory ahead of two new launches by year-end: the all-electric Ram REV, and the Ramcharger, a battery-powered pickup with an on-board gas generator to boost range and towing capacity......»»
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro wireless earbuds are $70 off today
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro with active noise cancellation and an IPX7 rating for water resistance are on sale from Samsung for $160 after a $70 discount......»»
Researcher finds special proteins are key when antibiotic resistance spreads
Antibiotic resistance is a growing public health problem globally. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that some bacteria that have become resistant to antibiotics have the ability to spread that resistance to other bacteria via secretion systems......»»
Revealing study sheds light on feeling of collective loss and "Britishness" after Queen"s death
Research on the public mourning after the Queen's death offers new insights on how groups or crowds of people with a shared identity—in this case "Britishness"—navigate periods of change and uncertainty......»»
Research explores how workplace culture and social relationships are associated with workplace bullying
Workplace bullying poses a serious threat to employees' health and well-being. A recent study conducted at the University of Eastern Finland sheds new light on the impact of social relationships on workplace bullying. Workplace bullying is a complex.....»»
2025 VW ID Buzz: Heavy on the nostalgia, road; light on the range
The ID Buzz is more than a play for nostalgia. It helps VW expand into another, though, shrinking segment. VW expects the vehicle to draw buyers from minivans, crossovers and SUVs......»»
Walk or run in the rain? A physics-based approached to staying dry (or at least drier)
We've all been there—caught outside without an umbrella as the sky opens up. Whether it's a light drizzle or a heavy downpour, instinct tells us that running will minimize how wet we get. But is that really true? Let's take a scientific look at thi.....»»
Accurately weighing costs and benefits of different methods for controlling invasive species
Invasive insect species bring a host of health, social, ecological and economic consequences, including crop damage, food insecurity, biodiversity loss, ecosystem disruption, human disease transmission and rising allergy rates......»»
Satellite-derived data on artificial light at night indicate rapidly increasing industrial activities in the Arctic
More than 800,000 km2 of the Arctic were affected by human activity in 2013, according to an analysis of satellite-derived data on artificial light at night. On average, 85% of the light-polluted areas are due to industrial activities rather than urb.....»»
How plants compete for light: Researchers discover new mechanism in shade avoidance
Plants that are close together do everything they can to intercept light. This "shade avoidance" response has been extensively researched. It is therefore even more remarkable that researchers from the laboratory of Molecular Biology at Wageningen Un.....»»
