 Gigantic, red and full of spots Starspots are more common among red giant stars than previously thought. Astronomers report that approximately eight percent of red giants exhibit such spots. Although red giants are generally regarded as slowly rotating stars, those with starspots are apparently an exception. The new publication offers a comprehensive analysis of the reasons for their short rotation periods. more Gigantic, red and full of spots 7/13/2020 12:55:00 PMScience Daily |
New materials for extra thin computer chips In order to create more compact electronic devices, new materials are being used - especially 2D-materials, which only consist of a single atomic layer. This, however, is only half the story: Every electronic device consists of multiple materials. So the ultra-thin semiconductors have to be paired with ultra-thin insulators. Scientists have now found out how to do this. more New materials for extra thin computer chips 7/13/2020 12:00:00 PMScience Daily |
A micro-lab on a chip detects blood type within minutes The need to first zero in on a blood group can delay blood transfusions in emergency situations, and this in turn can prove fatal. Thus, to speed up the process, a team of scientists has developed a lab-on-a-chip device that can not only tell the blood type within five minutes but allows medical staff to read the results through simple visual inspections. more A micro-lab on a chip detects blood type within minutes 7/13/2020 12:00:00 PMScience Daily |
Electron cryo-microscopy: Using inexpensive technology to produce high-resolution images Biochemists have used a standard electron cryo-microscope to achieve surprisingly good images that are on par with those taken by far more sophisticated equipment. They have succeeded in determining the structure of ferritin almost at the atomic level. more Electron cryo-microscopy: Using inexpensive technology ... 7/13/2020 12:00:00 PMScience Daily |

Invention: 'Nanocage' tool untangles (molecular) spaghetti Scientists have invented a new tool -- they call it a ''nanocage'' -- that can catch and straighten out molecule-sized tangles of polymers - -whether made of protein or plastic. This tool -- that works a bit like pulling a wad of thread through a needle hole -- opens a new way to create custom materials that have never been made before. more Invention: 'Nanocage' tool untangles (molecular) spaghe ... 7/10/2020 1:15:00 PMScience Daily |
