TECH & INNOVATIONWith the use of lasers and mirrors, physicists can hear 'nothingness'. The Louisiana State University Department of Physics & Astronomy associate professor Thomas Corbitt and his team of researchers now present the first broadband, off-resonance measurement of quantum radiation pressure noise in the audio band, at frequencies relevant to gravitational wave detectors.
Apple is making movies, TV shows and a credit card. CEO Tim Cook and a roster of big-name celebrities, including Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey, announced the company's much-anticipated entrance into the crowded video-streaming market at a press event Monday afternoon inside the underground Steve Jobs theater at its Cupertino, California, headquarters.
Genes in living cells are activated - or not - by proteins called transcription factors. The mechanisms by which these proteins activate certain genes and deactivate others play a fundamental role in many biological processes.
Although we're still a long way from commercial airplanes powered by a combination of fossil fuel and batteries, a recent feasibility study at the University of Illinois explored fuel/battery configurations and the energy lifecycle to learn the tradeoffs needed to yield the greatest reductions in carbon dioxide emissions.
Imagine that you live in the rainforests of Southeast Asia, you're a pint-sized primate with enormous eyes that are roughly the same size as your brain, and you look a little like Gizmo from the movie, "Gremlins".
Researchers at UBC have created the first-ever nanocomposite biomaterial heart-valve developed to reduce or eliminate complications related to heart transplants.
This system detects equipment failures before they even happen. In an era of electrical dependability, preventive maintenance could save companies and organizations billions of dollars a year.
A ground level expalantion of quantum computing In reference to a recent article titled 'Quantum Computer Time Reversal: Can It Happen?', I would like to try to explain how quantum computing works.
UP scientists make things invisible University of the Philippines' National Institute of Physics (NIP) developed a Harry Potter-like invisibility cloak based on the work of US scientists.
Is interspecies communication possible? Wouldn't it be amazing if interspecies communication could happen? Albeit, animal communication is fascinating and often way more complex than people realize, humans are able to communicate with other species with some success but now, researchers have allowed two very different creatures to "talk" to each other through the use of robots.
Time reversal may be possible. An international team of researchers has constructed a time-reversal program on a quantum computer, in an experiment that has huge implications for our understanding of quantum computing.
It claims there was nothing personally identifiable. Nokia phone brand owner HMD Global is understandably nervous about Finland investigating claims that its handsets send sensitive data to China, and is trying to clear its name.
Nanotech-infused bandages could potentially heal you faster. Egyptian researchers have developed a bandage infused with nanoparticles for the treatment of wounds using the anti-epilepsy drug Phenytoin, known for its capacity to treat skin injuries.
