A new ultra-thin film can create detailed 3D images viewable under normal illumination without special reading devices. Images appear to float on top of the film, allowing viewing from all angles. The glass-free approach could be used as a…

Salk scientists discovered an unexpected molecular target of a common treatment for alopecia. The findings, published in Nature Immunology, describe how immune cells called 'regulatory T cells' interact with skin cells using a hormone as a…

Working together across a range of tasks, called collective intelligence (CI), varies significantly between teams. The level of collective attention a team develops influences its level of CI. A new study examined the factors that enhanced…

The bright glow of rapidly orbiting gas has a unique flicker. In a recent paper published in Astrophysical Journal Letters, researchers from Princeton University and the University of California Santa Barbara used this subtle flickering to…

A magnet’s past will allow for the customization of particle beams precisely in the future. As accelerators stretch for higher performance, understanding subtle effects, such as those introduced by magnetic history, is becoming more…

Rare earths consist of 17 elements found in the periodic table. Miners find these elements clustered in geologic deposits. Rare earths are in high demand as we use them in many aspects of the green energy transition and modern life.…

Panthronics AG announced the release to alpha customers early samples of the PTX30W, the industry's first fully integrated NFC wireless charging listener device. The device will work in tandem with an NFC poller such as the Panthronics…

University of Tokyo researchers created a controllable robotic finger covered with living skin tissue. It has living cells and supporting organic material grown on top of it, providing shaping and strength. As the skin is soft and can heal…

We find inspiration where we can. In this case, it came from bugs. Drones, rovers, and legged robots perform many tasks, from autonomously monitoring crops in greenhouses to last-kilometer delivery. These applications need robots to operate…

Researchers at the University of Central Florida developed a device for artificial intelligence that mimics the eye's retina, which could lead to advanced AI that instantly recognizes what it sees. The development could lead to advanced…

Charging stations could be the Achilles’ heel that stymies the large-scale adoption of electric vehicles. A recent study is basing its conclusions on unanticipated events surrounding the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The…

For electrons moving along a quantum wire, researchers in Cambridge and Frankfurt have discovered that there are two ‘lanes’, and electrons can take both simultaneously! The flow of electrons carries the current in a wire. If the wire is…

A team of astronomers from the University of Arizona created a detailed, 3-D image of a dying hypergiant star. They traced the distribution, directions, and velocities of various molecules surrounding a red hypergiant star known as VY Canis…

While consumer devices that support 5G benefit from increased speeds and lower latency, some frequency bands allocated for 5G aren't working efficiently due to tech limitations. Depending on the country, these bands span from 37 GHz to 43.5…

For the first time, astronomers have captured images of a periodic rocky near-Sun comet breaking apart, a common fate for heavenly bodies with destabilized orbits. Because they pass so close to the Sun, they are challenging to study, and…
