| How weather news impacts public transit ridership Posted: 31 Aug 2020 01:57 PM PDT Researchers found a correlation between words used in media coverage related to weather or air quality, and transit ridership. It's not enough yet to say that media coverage causes changes in ridership. But it's enough to explore what factors in to a person's decision to ride transit and whether that decision can be nudged.      |
| Portable, point-of-care COVID-19 test could bypass the lab, study finds Posted: 31 Aug 2020 01:57 PM PDT Researchers have demonstrated a prototype of a rapid COVID-19 molecular test and a simple-to-use, portable instrument for reading the results with a smartphone in 30 minutes, which could enable point-of-care diagnosis without needing to send samples to a lab. |
| Secret weapon to stop invasive honeysuckle: Satellites Posted: 31 Aug 2020 12:44 PM PDT Researchers found that satellite imagery can identify non-native and invasive Amur honeysuckle, an ornamental shrub introduced from Asia that has spread in forests across much of the United States. |
| New X-ray detection technology developed Posted: 31 Aug 2020 12:43 PM PDT Researchers have developed a new material that could be used to make flexible X-ray detectors that are less harmful to the environment and cost less than existing technologies. |
| New evidence for quantum fluctuations near a quantum critical point in a superconductor Posted: 31 Aug 2020 10:16 AM PDT A study has found evidence for quantum fluctuations near a quantum critical point in a superconductor. Theory suggests that these quantum critical points may be analogous to black holes as places where all sorts of strange phenomena can exist in a quantum material. |
| Demonstrating the dynamics of electron-light interaction originating from first principle Posted: 31 Aug 2020 09:42 AM PDT Quantum-physical fundamentals can be studied particularly well by the interactions between electrons and photons. Excited with laser light, for example, the energy, mass or velocity of the electrons changes. A professor has invented a new toolbox to extend the theoretical description of electron-light interactions to the highest accurate level possible. |
| Molecule to store solar energy developed Posted: 31 Aug 2020 09:42 AM PDT Researchers have developed a molecule that absorbs energy from sunlight and stores it in chemical bonds. A possible long-term use of the molecule is to capture solar energy efficiently and store it for later consumption. |
| Researchers develop dustbuster for the moon Posted: 31 Aug 2020 09:42 AM PDT A new solution to the problem of spring cleaning on the moon: Why not zap away the grime using a beam of electrons? |
| Wearable device could help EMTs, surgeons assess hemorrhage blood loss Posted: 31 Aug 2020 08:23 AM PDT Emergency medical technicians (EMTs), military medics, and emergency room physicians could one day be better able to treat victims of vehicular accidents, gunshot wounds, and battlefield injuries thanks to a new device under development that may more accurately assess the effects of blood loss due to hemorrhage. |
| Astrophysics: A direct view of star/disk interactions Posted: 31 Aug 2020 08:23 AM PDT Astronomers have for the first time directly observed the columns of matter that build up newborn stars. This was observed in the young star TW Hydrae system located approximately 163 light years from Earth. |
| New theory hints at more efficient way to develop quantum algorithms Posted: 31 Aug 2020 08:23 AM PDT A new theory could bring a way to make quantum algorithm development less of an accidental process, say scientists. |
| Team's flexible micro LEDs may reshape future of wearable technology Posted: 31 Aug 2020 08:23 AM PDT Researchers have developed a method to create micro LEDs that can be folded, twisted, cut and stuck to different surfaces. |
| Can a black hole fire up the cold heart of the Phoenix Galaxy Cluster? Posted: 31 Aug 2020 06:47 AM PDT Radio astronomers have detected jets of hot gas blasted out by a black hole in the galaxy at the heart of the Phoenix Galaxy Cluster, located 5.9 billion light-years away in the constellation Phoenix. This is an important result for understanding the coevolution of galaxies, gas, and black holes in galaxy clusters. |
| Reprogramming cardiac fibroblast cells to transform into beating heart muscle Posted: 31 Aug 2020 06:47 AM PDT Researchers have clarified the roles of matrix stiffness and mechanotransduction as well as the signaling pathways in the transformation of cardiac fibroblasts into contractile cardiomyocytes and show that soft substrates comparable to native myocardium improve the efficiency of this cardiac reprogramming. This has potential for research into biomaterials and may lead to clinical advances in regenerative treatment for heart failure. |
| Intelligent software tackles plant cell jigsaw puzzle Posted: 31 Aug 2020 06:01 AM PDT Scientists have developed a machine learning-based algorithm to study the morphogenesis of plants at a cellular level. So far it was impossible to solve this evolving and changing puzzle. |
| Algorithm aims to alert consumers before they use illicit online pharmacies Posted: 28 Aug 2020 08:53 AM PDT Researchers have developed an algorithm that may be able to spot illicit online pharmacies that could be providing customers with substandard medications without their knowledge, among other potential problems. |
| Posted: 27 Aug 2020 07:59 AM PDT One of the biggest impediments to adoption of new technologies is trust in artificial intelligence (AI). Now, a new tool generates automatic indicators if data and predictions generated by AI algorithms are trustworthy. |
