Scientists have significantly improved a new type of laser that uses sound waves instead of light. This "phonon laser" has potential uses in deep-sea exploration, medical imaging, and other areas. The researchers were able to greatly boost the power and precision of the sound waves by adding a small electronic nudge. This paves the way for future devices using sound for a wider range of tasks.
Traditional optical anti-counterfeiting (AC) is achieved by static printed images, which makes them susceptible to lower levels of security and easier replication. Here in, we fabricated a multifunctional anti-counterfeiting (AC) device based on fluorescent electrophoretic particles, which can achieve dynamic AC display by switching the electric field and UV light. This work demonstrated that fluorescent electrophoretic display (EPD) has a fast response, dynamically switch image and bright luminescence, providing potential in multifunctional AC applications.
A recent study unveils new insights into the complex regulatory mechanisms behind strawberry fruit ripening. By analyzing histone modifications, researchers have mapped a detailed chromatin structure model that governs the ripening process, emphasizing the critical role of histone acetylation in regulating gene expression during fruit maturation. This breakthrough could lead to strategies for improving strawberry quality and shelf life, with potential applications for other fruits.
A cutting-edge study shows that integrating 5G technology with the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) can significantly boost Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning accuracy in urban environments. By combining 5G measurements with BDS, this approach addresses common challenges like signal blockages and visibility issues in cities. The integration reduces positioning errors and enhances the success rate of ambiguity resolution, crucial for applications in autonomous systems and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Pioneering research has introduced a groundbreaking pipeline modeling technique using interval scanning point clouds, dramatically boosting the precision of manufacturing and construction. This advanced technology enables real-time detection of assembly deviations, ensuring alignment with original designs and minimizing the need for expensive rework.
This $11 million IHS contract will create training for healthcare providers and support patients’ families in communities that have little access to such specialized care.
Using cutting-edge bioinformatics techniques for gene identification and sequencing, researchers at UCLA are comprehensively map signaling pathway distributions in both normal and acne-affected skin.
An Iowa State University research team has discovered when and why inflammatory signaling affects the formation of blood stem cells in embryos, which will benefit efforts to develop lab-grown, patient-derived stem cell transfusions to treat blood disorders. The promising advancement in regenerative medicine could eliminate the need for bone marrow transplants.
New research from the University of Washington found lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in unusually accelerated brain maturation in adolescents. This maturation was more pronounced in girls. When measured in terms of the number of years of accelerated brain development, the mean acceleration was 4.2 years in females and 1.4 years in males.
Spin is an intrinsic property of the electron. When electrons spin in the same direction at a given time, the quantity is called polarization. Understanding polarization helps examine the structure of nuclei of heavy elements. Now, nuclear physicists have measured the polarization of an electron beam more precisely than ever before.
A medical device company utilizing a novel approach to treat ocular disease, announced today the successful completion of a pilot study using its proprietary OPTiC System for treating Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump will share a stage in what likely will be the only presidential debate prior to the November election. Political scientist Karen Hult and media and public relations expert Cayce Myers provide their thoughts on what both candidates will set out to accomplish and what weaknesses they must overcome.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a chemical “chameleon” that could improve the process used to purify rare-earth metals used in clean energy, medical and national security applications.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Research Highlights provides a glimpse into recent basic, translational and clinical cancer research from MD Anderson experts. This special edition features compelling data on lung cancer advances presented by MD Anderson researchers at the 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer.
In a new study, astronomers report novel evidence regarding the limits of planet formation, finding that after a certain point, planets larger than Earth have difficulty forming near low-metallicity stars.
Mountainside is a site for the Genetesis MICRO 2.0 Clinical Trial, advancing non-invasive cardiac diagnostics to evaluate coronary microvascular dysfunction. This study explores how magnetocardiography could revolutionize heart condition diagnosis and management.
A four-year, $1.2 million grant from the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health to Wayne State University may help researchers find new clues to the interplay between Down syndrome and myeloid leukemia.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $65 million in funding in quantum computing for 10 projects, comprising a total of 38 separate awards.
