| Analyzing pros and cons of two composite manufacturing methods Posted: 03 Aug 2020 11:00 AM PDT Airplane wings and wind turbine blades are typically created using bulk polymerization in composite manufacturing facilities. They are heated and cured in enormous autoclaves and heated molds as big as the finished part. Frontal polymerization is a new out-of-autoclave method that doesn't require a large facility investment. Researchers have conducted a study pitting one process against the other to discover the pros and cons of each.      |
| ALMA captures stirred-up planet factory Posted: 03 Aug 2020 11:00 AM PDT Planet-forming environments can be much more complex and chaotic than previously expected. This is evidenced by a new image of the star RU Lup, made with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). |
| Posted: 03 Aug 2020 11:00 AM PDT The study of cellular dynamics is crucial to understand how cells develop and how diseases progress. Scientist have now created 'scVelo' - a machine learning method and open source software to estimate the dynamics of gene activity in single cells. This allows biologists to robustly predict the future state of individual cells. |
| Study shows demolishing vacant houses can have positive effect on neighbor maintenance Posted: 03 Aug 2020 11:00 AM PDT New research suggests that demolishing abandoned houses may lead nearby property owners to better maintain their homes. |
| For solar boom, scrap silicon for this promising mineral Posted: 03 Aug 2020 11:00 AM PDT Engineers have found that photovoltaic wafers in solar panels with all-perovskite structures outperform photovoltaic cells made from state-of-the-art crystalline silicon, as well as perovskite-silicon tandem cells, which are stacked pancake-style cells that absorb light better. |
| Early Mars was covered in ice sheets, not flowing rivers, researchers say Posted: 03 Aug 2020 09:01 AM PDT A large number of the valley networks scarring Mars's surface were carved by water melting beneath glacial ice, not by free-flowing rivers as previously thought, according to new research. The findings effectively throw cold water on the dominant 'warm and wet ancient Mars' hypothesis, which postulates that rivers, rainfall and oceans once existed on the red planet. |
| Iron-rich meteorites show record of core crystallization in system's oldest planetesimals Posted: 03 Aug 2020 09:01 AM PDT New work uncovers new details about our Solar System's oldest planetary objects, which broke apart in long-ago collisions to form iron-rich meteorites. Their findings reveal that the distinct chemical signatures of these meteorites can be explained by the process of core crystallization in their parent bodies, deepening our understanding of the geochemistry occurring in the Solar System's youth. |
| Simplified circuit design could revolutionize how wearables are manufactured Posted: 03 Aug 2020 09:01 AM PDT Researchers have demonstrated the use of a ground-breaking circuit design that could transform manufacturing processes for wearable technology. |
| Novel magnetic stirrer speaks to lab equipment Posted: 03 Aug 2020 07:52 AM PDT A small device, called 'Smart Stirrer', performed a function of a conventional laboratory stir bar, has an integrated microprocessor and various sensors capable of wireless and autonomous report the conversion of properties of a solution. Results are sent to a computer over Bluetooth, and any changes notify the user wirelessly. |
| Blackjack: Can a quantum strategy help bring down the house? Posted: 03 Aug 2020 07:52 AM PDT Now researchers have shown that the weird, quantum effects of entanglement could theoretically give blackjack players even more of an edge, albeit a small one, when playing against the house. |
| Novel approach improves graphene-based supercapacitors Posted: 03 Aug 2020 06:21 AM PDT An efficient in situ pathway to generate and attach oxygen functional groups to graphitic electrodes for supercapacitors by inducing hydrolysis of water molecules within the gel electrolyte. |
| How human sperm really swim: New research challenges centuries-old assumption Posted: 31 Jul 2020 11:51 AM PDT A breakthrough in fertility science has shattered the universally accepted view of how sperm 'swim'. |
| ALMA finds possible sign of neutron star in supernova 1987A Posted: 30 Jul 2020 09:37 AM PDT Based on ALMA observations and a theoretical follow-up study, scientists suggest that a neutron star might be hiding deep inside the remains of Supernova 1987A. |
| Stunning space butterfly captured by ESO telescope Posted: 30 Jul 2020 09:36 AM PDT Resembling a butterfly with its symmetrical structure, beautiful colours, and intricate patterns, this striking bubble of gas -- known as NGC 2899 -- appears to float and flutter across the sky in a new picture from ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT). This object has never before been imaged in such striking detail, with even the faint outer edges of the planetary nebula glowing over the background stars. |
