The device emits a stream of single photons and could provide a basis for optical quantum computers.
An air filter made out of corn protein instead of petroleum products can concurrently capture small particulates as well as toxic chemicals like formaldehyde that current air filters can’t.
Baby kangaroo feces might help provide an unlikely solution to the environmental problem of cow-produced methane.
By adding weak linkers to a polymer network, chemists dramatically enhanced the material’s resistance to tearing.
PROTEIN MAPPING For the first time, researchers have succeeded in mapping the proteins in an old, frozen poop. The samples of dog poop are hundreds of years old and stem from sledge dogs at a settlement belonging to one of Alaska's indigenous peoples. The proteins give researchers new insight into the relationship between humans and sledge dogs.
New research explores how Dyson maps are putting quantum computers to work in designing fusion energy devices.
MIT engineers’ new technology can probe the neural circuits that influence hunger, mood, and a variety of diseases.
The results could help turn up unconventional superconducting materials.
A groundbreaking study led by researchers at England’s University of Bristol has revealed a promising new approach to slow down the progression of diabetic kidney disease, a condition affecting 40% of individuals with diabetes.
In a new study, North Carolina State University researchers found a way to prevent electrical malfunctions in yarns designed to store electrical energy.
Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have developed an implantable biotechnology that produces and releases CAR-T cells for attacking cancerous tumors.
New research from North Carolina State University offers insight into why Facebook’s targeted advertising can sometimes be more like a wild pitch.
Semiconducting perovskites that exhibit superfluorescence at room temperature do so due to built-in thermal “shock absorbers” which protect dipoles within the material from thermal interference.
Researchers have developed a new membrane technology that allows for more efficient removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from mixed gases, such as emissions from power plants.
Researchers are rolling out a data set that provides detailed information on COVID-19 vaccine shipments and wastage across the United States, with the goal of spurring new data analysis to improve vaccination efforts in the future.
In a study aimed at assessing the impact of washing poultry on kitchen contamination, researchers found that more than a quarter of study participants contaminated salad with raw poultry – including many study participants who did not wash the poultry.
There is an increasing body of work demonstrating the benefits of empowering workers, but a new study finds that efforts to empower employees need to be coupled with efforts that allow those employees to do their jobs well.
Researchers have developed a technique that leverages hardware and software to improve file system security for next-generation memory technologies called non-volatile memories (NVMs).
Scientists find a protein common to flies and people is essential for supporting the structure of axons that neurons project to make circuit connections.
Work could lead to heady applications in novel electronics and more.
