[ad_1] The COVID-19 pandemic has plunged all of us into a state of uncertainty. In a rapidly changing situation where it is difficult to know what will happen next, making decisions can be difficult. Researchers from the University of Cambridge and University College London have created a simplistic model of …

[ad_1] A group of researchers led by Sir Andre Geim and Dr Alexey Berdyugin at the University of Manchester has discovered and characterized a new family of quasiparticles called “Brown-Zak fermions” in graphene-based super lattices. The team achieved this breakthrough by aligning the atomic lattice of a graphene layer with …

[ad_1] Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc.November 12, 2020 A growing body of evidence points to the health risks of using e-cigarettes (or “vaping”). But as e-cigarettes are marketed as a less harmful alternative to traditional cigarettes, it’s been hard to tell if the association between vaping and sickness is just …

[ad_1] Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc.November 12, 2020 A new prediction model designed by Vanderbilt could make it easier to determine which babies will develop neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), a drug withdrawal syndrome in newborns that occurs after exposure to opioids during pregnancy. According to the recommendations of the American …

[ad_1] LOS ALAMOS, NM, November 12, 2020 – A new hydrocarbon study contradicts conventional wisdom about how methane is trapped in rock, revealing a new strategy to more easily access the precious energy resource. “The most challenging problem facing the shale energy industry is the very low recovery rate of …

[ad_1] The artistic conception of the dust and gas surrounding a newly formed planetary system. Image courtesy of NASA. A long time ago – about 4.5 billion years – our sun and our solar system formed in the short span of 200,000 years. This is the conclusion of a group …

[ad_2][ad_1] Blockchain in Energy Market Research Report is a competent and in-depth study of the existing state of blockchain in the energy industry. This report focuses on the Key drivers, restrictions, opportunities and threats for key players. It also provides granular analysis of market share, segmentation, revenue forecasts and regional …

[ad_1] It’s no exaggeration to say that extendable sensors could change the way soft robots work and feel. In fact, they will be able to try quite a lot. Cornell researchers have created a fiber-optic sensor that combines low-cost LEDs and dyes, resulting in a stretchable “skin” that detects deformations …

[ad_1] LOS ALAMOS, NM, November 12, 2020: Two new studies of the brightest lightning events on Earth, called “superbolt”, have found that they are distinct from normal lightning and can be over 1,000 times brighter. The new findings could help scientists better understand these mysterious strikes and inform safety efforts, …

[ad_1] Credit:N. Hanacek / NIST JILA researchers used a state-of-the-art atomic clock to narrow the search for elusive dark matter, an example of how continuous improvements in watches have value beyond timekeeping. Older atomic clocks operating at microwave frequencies have already searched for dark matter, but this is the first …
