Researchers at the U.S. DoE’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced the first successful demonstration of a new technique that improves particle beams. Scientists could use this technique to create better, denser particle beams,…

Moving away from the 3D mathematical description developed by Schrödinger and others on how we see color could yield more vibrant computer displays, TVs, printed materials, textiles, and more. A new study corrects a critical error in the…

Researchers at Boise State University developed a new approach to creating novel lithium-ion battery materials. Starting from an amorphous niobium oxide, they discovered that the act of cycling the material with lithium induces a…

From pineapples to pinecones and ammonites to nautilus, nature is full of patterns. One important category involves tiling patterns characterized by tiles and interfaces – such as a giraffe's coloring. Tiling patterns are functionally…

Traditional tests and grades now used may measure learning less accurately than scans of the brain, according to a study published in Science Advances. This news could upend how educators craft curricula and reveal a hidden link in the…

Researchers at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering developed a flexible, stretchable computer to process information that mimics the human brain. The bridged wearable technology with artificial intelligence…

A new meta-analysis on the effects of cognitive, leisure, physical, and social activities is in the August 10, 2022, online issues of Neurology®, the American Academy of Neurology medical journal. Past studies have shown that leisure…

As of 2021, 43 million people worldwide are blind, and 295 million have moderate-to-severe visual impairment. Of those 43 million people, an estimated 12.7 million are blind due to their corneas. While more than 80,000 people receive…

Most astronomical discoveries are based on observations, and the volumes of data drastically increased with the arrival of large-scale astronomical surveys. For example, the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), which uses a wide-field view…

Have you ever felt exhausted after an intense mental day at work? After an exam at school? Researchers have new findings that help explain your exhaustion after vigorous mental gymnastics. It isn't all in your head. Their studies,…
