 A route for avoiding defects during additive manufacturing Research reveals how pores form during metals additive manufacturing and become defects trapped in solidifying metal. The practical value of this research is that it can inform industry on how to predict and improve 3D printing processes. more A route for avoiding defects during additive manufactur ... 11/27/2020 8:54:00 AMScience Daily |
Neutrinos yield first experimental evidence of catalyzed fusion dominant in many stars Scientists report the detection of neutrinos from the sun, directly revealing for the first time that the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) fusion-cycle is at work in our sun. more Neutrinos yield first experimental evidence of catalyze ... 11/25/2020 3:48:00 PMScience Daily |
Quantum nanodiamonds may help detect disease earlier The quantum sensing abilities of nanodiamonds can be used to improve the sensitivity of paper-based diagnostic tests, potentially allowing for earlier detection of diseases such as HIV, according to a new study. more Quantum nanodiamonds may help detect disease earlier 11/25/2020 1:51:00 PMScience Daily |

A microscope for everyone: Researchers develop open-source optical toolbox Researchers have developed an optical toolbox to build microscopes for a few hundred euros that deliver high-resolution images comparable to commercial microscopes that cost up to a thousand times more. The 3D printed open-source modular system can be combined in the way the research question requires -- from the observation of living organisms in the incubator to a toolbox for education. more A microscope for everyone: Researchers develop open-sou ... 11/25/2020 12:23:00 PMScience Daily |
Space travel can adversely impact energy production in a cell Studies of both mice and humans who have traveled into space reveal that critical parts of a cell's energy production machinery, the mitochondria, can be made dysfunctional due to changes in gravity, radiation exposure and other factors. These findings are part of an extensive research effort across many scientific disciplines to look at the health effects of travel into space. more Space travel can adversely impact energy production in ... 11/25/2020 11:44:00 AMScience Daily |
New insights on health effects of long-duration space flight Among the new findings, the research team found that chronic oxidative stress during spaceflight contributed to the telomere elongation they observed. They also found that astronauts had shorter telomeres after spaceflight than they did before. more New insights on health effects of long-duration space f ... 11/25/2020 11:44:00 AMScience Daily |
Scientists determine the structure of glass-shaping protein in sponges Researchers have determined the three dimensional (3D) structure of a protein responsible for glass formation in sponges. They explain how the earliest and, in fact, the only known natural protein-mineral crystal is formed. more Scientists determine the structure of glass-shaping pro ... 11/25/2020 11:43:00 AMScience Daily |
Phytoplankton disturbed by nanoparticles Products derived from nanotechnology are efficient and highly sought-after, yet their effects on the environment are still poorly understood. A research team has investigated the effects of nanosilver, currently used in almost 450 products for its antibacterial properties, on the algae known as Poterioochromonas malhamensis. The results show that nanosilver disturb the alga's entire metabolism. Its membrane becomes more permeable, the cellular ROS increases and photosynthesis is less effective. more Phytoplankton disturbed by nanoparticles 11/25/2020 11:43:00 AMScience Daily |
Patterning method could pave the way for new fiber-based devices, smart textiles Multimaterial fibers that integrate metal, glass and semiconductors could be useful for applications such as biomedicine, smart textiles and robotics. But because the fibers are composed of the same materials along their lengths, it is difficult to position functional elements, such as electrodes or sensors, at specific locations. Now, researchers have developed a method to pattern hundreds-of-meters-long multimaterial fibers with embedded functional elements. more Patterning method could pave the way for new fiber-base ... 11/25/2020 9:15:00 AMScience Daily |
Research creates hydrogen-producing living droplets, paving way for alternative future energy source Scientists have built tiny droplet-based microbial factories that produce hydrogen, instead of oxygen, when exposed to daylight in air. more Research creates hydrogen-producing living droplets, pa ... 11/25/2020 9:14:00 AMScience Daily |
When consumers trust AI recommendations, or resist them The key factor in deciding how to incorporate AI recommenders is whether consumers are focused on the functional and practical aspects of a product (its utilitarian value) or on the experiential and sensory aspects of a product (its hedonic value). more When consumers trust AI recommendations, or resist them 11/25/2020 9:14:00 AMScience Daily |
