| Many ventilation systems may increase risk of COVID-19 exposure, study suggests Posted: 29 Sep 2020 10:03 AM PDT Ventilation systems in many modern office buildings, which are designed to keep temperatures comfortable and increase energy efficiency, may increase the risk of exposure to the coronavirus, particularly during the coming winter, according to new research.      |
| Untapped potential exists for blending hydropower, floating solar panels Posted: 29 Sep 2020 09:37 AM PDT Hybrid systems of floating solar panels and hydropower plants may hold the technical potential to produce a significant portion of the electricity generated annually across the globe, according to a new analysis. |
| Wearable exosuit that lessens muscle fatigue could redesign the future of work Posted: 29 Sep 2020 09:35 AM PDT A new clothing-like exoskeleton can reduce back muscle fatigue and providing needed physical relief to material handlers, medical professionals and frontline workers. |
| Second alignment plane of solar system discovered Posted: 29 Sep 2020 09:34 AM PDT A study of comet motions indicates that the Solar System has a second alignment plane. Analytical investigation of the orbits of long-period comets shows that the aphelia of the comets, the point where they are farthest from the Sun, tend to fall close to either the well-known ecliptic plane where the planets reside or a newly discovered 'empty ecliptic.' This has important implications for models of how comets originally formed in the Solar System. |
| Cosmic diamonds formed during gigantic planetary collisions Posted: 29 Sep 2020 09:34 AM PDT Geoscientists have found the largest extraterrestrial diamonds ever discovered - a few tenths of a millimeter in size nevertheless - inside meteorites. Together with an international team of researchers, they have now been able to prove that these diamonds formed in the early period of our solar system when minor planets collided together or with large asteroids. These new data disprove the theory that they originated deep inside planets - similar to diamonds formed on Earth - at least the size of Mercury. |
| Astrophysicist probes cosmic 'dark matter detector' Posted: 29 Sep 2020 09:34 AM PDT An astrophysicist is searching the light coming from a distant, and extremely powerful celestial object, for what may be the most elusive substance in the universe: dark matter. |
| Understanding ghost particle interactions Posted: 28 Sep 2020 04:12 PM PDT Scientists have constructed a nuclear physics model capturing the interactions between neutrinos and atomic nuclei. This model building is part of a larger project to understand the role of neutrinos in the early universe. |
| PLUS takes 3D ultrasound images of solids Posted: 25 Sep 2020 08:34 AM PDT A two-in-one technology provides 3D images of structural defects, such as those that can develop in aircraft and power plants. |
| Posted: 25 Sep 2020 08:33 AM PDT An ingenious device, only a few micrometers in size, lets researchers study the reaction of individual biological cells to mechanical stress. |
| Secure nano-carrier delivers medications directly to cells Posted: 25 Sep 2020 08:33 AM PDT Researchers have developed a stable nano-carrier for medications. A special mechanism makes sure the drugs are only released in diseased cells. |
| New method allows precise gene control by light Posted: 25 Sep 2020 08:33 AM PDT A novel optical switch makes it possible to precisely control the lifespan of genetic 'copies'. These are used by the cell as building instructions for the production of proteins. |
