A new, non-invasive technique to track the motion of knee bones in 3D with a very high precision has been presented by researchers in Australia. By employing a single-element ultrasound sensor and a fast image registration ...
Research to curb global warming caused by rising levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, usually involves three areas: Developing alternative energy sources, capturing and storing greenhouse gases, ...
(Â鶹ÒùÔº) —A low-cost technology may make it possible to read long sequences of DNA far more quickly than current techniques.
(Â鶹ÒùÔº) —A team of researchers working at the Hebrew University in Israel has found that Escherichia coli grown in a lab were able to change their dormancy period to match the time that antibiotics were administered—saving ...
(Â鶹ÒùÔº) —A team of researchers working in France is suggesting in a paper they've had published in the journal Nature, that the uppermost part of the asthenosphere consists of a thin layer of water, carbon dioxide and ...
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) the greatest danger to nuclear security comes from terrorists acquiring sufficient quantities of plutonium or highly enriched uranium (HEU) to construct a crude nuclear ...
The shrinking dimensions and decreased power consumption of modern electronic gadgets have created opportunities for energy harvesting processes that tap into free, green energy from the environment. Vibration harvesters, ...
Ultrasonography based on traditional bulk piezoelectric transducers has been established as an inexpensive and safe medical imaging modality. By borrowing techniques from the microelectronics industry, the performance of ...
(Â鶹ÒùÔº) —Topology—the understanding of how things are connected—remains abstract, even with the popular example of doughnuts and coffee cups. This concept, esoteric as it appears, is also neat because it is the basis ...
A new University of Colorado Boulder study indicates drought high in the northern Colorado mountains is the primary trigger of a massive spruce beetle outbreak that is tied to long-term changes in sea-surface temperatures ...
