Flexing the power of a conductive polymer For decades, field-effect transistors enabled by silicon-based semiconductors have powered the electronics revolution. But in recent years, manufacturers have come up against hard physical limits to further size reductions and efficiency gains of silicon chips. That has scientists and engineers looking for alternatives to conventional metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistors. more Flexing the power of a conductive polymer 6/24/2022 4:07:00 PMScience Daily |
Microscopy technique enables 3D super-resolution nanometer-scale imaging Over the last two decades, microscopy has seen unprecedented advances in speed and resolution. However, cellular structures are essentially three-dimensional, and conventional super-resolution techniques often lack the necessary resolution in all three directions to capture details at a nanometer scale. A research team has now investigated a super-resolution imaging technique that involves combining the advantages of two different methods to achieve the same resolution in all three dimensions; this is 'isotropic' resolution. more Microscopy technique enables 3D super-resolution nanome ... 6/24/2022 4:06:00 PMScience Daily |

Light traveling in a distorting medium can appear undistorted Researchers have made a new discovery on how light behaves in complex media, media that tends to distort light significantly. They demonstrated that 'distortion' is a matter of perspective, outlining a simple rule that applies to all light and a vast array of media, including underwater, optical fiber, transmission in the atmosphere and even through living biological samples. Their novel quantum approach to the problem resolves a standing debate on whether some forms of light are robust or not, correcting some misconceptions in the community. more Light traveling in a distorting medium can appear undis ... 6/24/2022 11:54:00 AMScience Daily |
New deep learning model helps the automated screening of common eye disorders Automation in disease diagnosis is reliant on deep learning models that can accurately and efficiently identify measurements of tumors, tissue volume, or other sorts of abnormalities. Now, researchers have unveiled a new, resource-light model capable of identifying many common eye diseases. more New deep learning model helps the automated screening o ... 6/24/2022 10:51:00 AMScience Daily |
Quantum network nodes with warm atoms Communication networks need nodes at which information is processed or rerouted. Physicists have now developed a network node for quantum communication networks that can store single photons in a vapor cell and pass them on later. more Quantum network nodes with warm atoms 6/24/2022 10:51:00 AMScience Daily |
Wearable chemical sensor is as good as gold Researchers created a special ultrathin sensor, spun from gold, that can be attached directly to the skin without irritation or discomfort. The sensor can measure different biomarkers or substances to perform on-body chemical analysis. It works using a technique called Raman spectroscopy, where laser light aimed at the sensor is changed slightly depending on whatever chemicals are present on the skin at that point. The sensor can be finely tuned to be extremely sensitive, and is robust enough for practical use. more Wearable chemical sensor is as good as gold 6/24/2022 9:24:00 AMScience Daily |
A new model sheds light on how we learn motor skills Researchers have developed a mathematical model of motor learning that reflects the motor learning process in the human brain. Their findings suggest that motor exploration -- that is, increased variability in movements -- is important when learning a new task. These results may lead to improved motor rehabilitation in patients after injury or disease. more A new model sheds light on how we learn motor skills 6/24/2022 9:23:00 AMScience Daily |
