The digital age has brought about a plethora of advancements in technology, but printing technology remains a crucial component in the creation of semiconductors essential for the digital world. A recent breakthrough by a team led by Dr. Ken-ichi Yuyama at Osaka Metropolitan University has unveiled a new printing technique that could pave the way
A recent breakthrough at Oregon State University has paved the way for a greener future by developing a material that can efficiently convert sunlight and water into clean energy. This innovative photocatalyst, created by a team led by Kyriakos Stylianou from the OSU College of Science, has the potential to revolutionize the production of hydrogen.
Supermassive black holes have long puzzled astronomers due to the mystery surrounding how they collide with each other. The final parsec problem, a conundrum in astrophysics, has now been suggested to be resolved by the presence of self-interacting dark matter. This new mathematical modeling offers a potential solution that challenges previous theories of black hole
Groundbreaking research conducted by an international team from Germany’s Forschungszentrum Jülich and Korea’s IBS Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) has led to the development of a quantum sensor capable of detecting extremely minute magnetic fields at the atomic-length scale. This innovative work represents a major advancement in the field of quantum sensing, bringing scientists closer
A potential new treatment for hereditary-patterned baldness has been discovered by scientists through an accidental finding. While researching a sugar that naturally occurs in the body and helps form DNA, researchers uncovered the surprising ability of deoxyribose gel to stimulate hair regrowth in mice with testosterone-driven hair loss. This groundbreaking discovery was made by scientists
Boeing has recently agreed to plead guilty to fraud as part of a deal with the US Department of Justice following two fatal crashes of its 737 MAX planes in Ethiopia and Indonesia over five years ago. This admission of guilt comes after prosecutors determined that Boeing had failed to uphold a previous settlement related
Placebos have long been a subject of fascination, offering the promise of pain relief without the need for traditional medications or invasive procedures. The essence of the placebo effect lies in the power of expectation – the belief that pain will dissipate merely by thinking it will. This seemingly intangible concept has been a point
NASA has been utilizing X-rays as a powerful tool to uncover the invisible secrets of the universe for several decades. While the Einstein Observatory kickstarted X-ray astronomy in the late ’70s, it’s the Chandra X-ray Observatory that truly stands out in this field, with its remarkable discoveries and stunning images over the past 25 years.
Self-driving cars have encountered issues with their visual systems due to difficulties in processing static or slow-moving objects in 3D space. This obstacle is akin to the monocular vision found in many insects, which exhibit great motion-tracking abilities and a wide field of view but struggle with depth perception. Contrary to common insects, the praying
In a groundbreaking study conducted by chemists at the Rijksmuseum and the University of Amsterdam (UvA), the mystery behind Rembrandt’s use of special arsenic sulfide pigments to create a “golden” paint has finally been unraveled. By utilizing sophisticated spectroscopic techniques, researchers were able to identify the presence of pararealgar and semi-amorphous pararealgar pigments in a
The study conducted by researchers from the Duke-National University of Singapore (NUS) Medical School sheds light on the significant role played by a protein called interleukin 11 (IL-11) in the aging process. By genetically engineering mice to turn off IL-11 production or injecting them with an anti-IL-11 drug, the researchers were able to extend the
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) recently made a groundbreaking discovery – a new exoplanet they have named Eps Ind Ab. What sets this discovery apart is that the exoplanet was imaged directly as a discrete entity, separate from its host star. In fact, this is the first time an exoplanet has been
The exploration of two-dimensional materials has revealed that when a material is reduced to one or two layers of molecules, it can exhibit completely different properties than in its thicker form. This intriguing phenomenon has captured the attention of physicist Prof. Ursula Wurstbauer and her research team at the University of Münster. They are delving
Peptides are now being recognized as valuable therapeutic agents with the potential to address unmet medical needs. Their ability to target complex biological processes with greater precision compared to small-molecule drugs, coupled with their relative simplicity and cost-effectiveness compared to large biological drugs like antibodies, makes them a promising area of research. There are currently
