Twisted Graphene is Science’s Hottest New Topic

TECH & INNOVATION Atom-sized superconductors discovered with a simple angle adjustment. Just a year ago, scientists presented results that seemed almost too good to be true: Carbon sheets only a single atom thick, called graphene, took on a pair of important physical properties when they were twisted at just the right "magic" angle relative to one another.

Physicists Are Now Listening to the Quantum Vacuum

With 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 event 2019: Everything announced at Apple's presentation

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.

Engineering cellular function without living cells

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.

Study examines commercial hybrid-electric aircraft, reduced carbon emissions

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.

Quantum Computing: Trying to Scratch the Surface

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.

Scientists Bridge the Communication Gap Between Fish and Bees

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.

Quantum Computer Time Reversal: Can It Happen?

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.

Nokia says its phones sent data to China by mistake

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.

Nanotechnology: Speeding Up the Healing Process

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.
