Until now, it has been only technically possible to implement encryption mechanisms with entangled photons in the near-infrared range of 700 to 1550 nanometers. However, these shorter wavelengths have disadvantages, especially in…

With lithium-ion batteries powering almost all remote devices, their manufacturers have had to develop safety measures to limit peak voltage. These include devices that monitor charge-state and current flow, record the latest, full-charge…

Because of the need to train users how to operate, manually adjust for exposure time and get the camera recalibrated if it’s accidentally disturbed, 3D cameras are not easy to use. They should be though, claims a Purdue University…

By augmenting the auxiliary layers of the devices responsible for electron transport rather than working with the main active layer, an international group of scientists has proposed a method that allows for significantly increasing the…

Anyone who’s been following the coronavirus pandemic from the time before it was officially declared a pandemic has become familiar with a variety of countermeasures public health officials are using to try to prevent their healthcare…

Analysis of nearly 30 years of species reintroduction studies using off-the-shelf machine learning, natural language processing and sentiment analysis will help us maximize our conservation dollars and could lead to greater success in…

As science fiction and infectious disease specialists have been predicting for decades, the coronavirus pandemic has caught us with our pants down (no toilet-paper hoarding double-entendres intended). Social isolation on its own is not…

Schools and daycares are shut down, almost everyone is working from home on next to no notice, and parents are suddenly having to home school their children. During the coronavirus pandemic, students need positivity and access to…

Gait abnormalities not only make walking less enjoyable, they can lead to loss of balance and falls, which is increasingly problematic as our life expectancy increases. Recently, researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology have developed…

Three recent studies provide a new hypothesis for how Earth’s magnetic field was generated and suggest it formed in the molten lower mantle rather than in its core. The studies are part of a paradigm shift in how we understand earth’s…

Semiconductors can behave like both metals and superconductors, researchers at the University of Rostock and Swansea University have discovered, due to the crystal structure at their surface. This could mean advances in the creation of more…
