[ad_1] “At the age of 12-15 I was drawing; I was designing fusion devices. “ David Fischer recalls growing up in Vienna, Austria imagining the best way to cool the furnace used to hold the hot ion soup known as plasma in a melting device called a tokamak. With the …

[ad_1] According to new research, an underground “conveyor belt” of magma, which has been pushing to the Earth’s surface for millions of years, has been responsible for the longest stretch of erupting supervolcanoes ever seen on the planet, according to new research. The changes in the sea floor caused channels …

[ad_1] Georgia Tech lead research scientist Canek Fuentes-Hernandez possesses rigid and flexible large-area organic photodiodes whose performance is comparable to that of silicon-based photodiodes. (Credit: Canek Fuentes-Hernandez, Georgia Tech) The performance of large-area flexible organic photodiodes has advanced to the point where they can now offer advantages over conventional silicon …

[ad_1] An international team of climate scientists, including two from the University of Michigan, suggests that researchers using numerical models to predict future climate change should include simulations of past climates when evaluating the model’s performance. “We urge the climate modeling community to pay attention to the past and actively …

[ad_1] As a California high school student, Jamie Wright thought her family’s finances meant that college was out of reach. Now, the UO graduate student is the lead author of a paper that provides a reference map covering 1,600 years of human and climate impacts on soil in the Amazon. …

[ad_1] Bonfire night celebrations contaminate our air with extremely high amounts of soot, scientists have found. Researchers from the University of Leeds tested the air quality during the Guy Fawkes Night events in the city and found that soot in the atmosphere was around 100 times its normal level. Soot, …

[ad_1] Dealing with a global pandemic has put a strain on the mental health of millions of people. A team of researchers from MIT and Harvard University has shown that they can measure these effects by analyzing the language people use to express their anxiety online. Using machine learning to …

[ad_1] Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a liquid window panel that can simultaneously block the sun to regulate solar transmission, trapping thermal heat that can be released during the day and night, helping to reduce the energy consumption in buildings. NTU researchers developed their “smart …

[ad_1] Enter a quantum lab where scientists trap ions and you’ll find worktops filled with mirrors and lenses, all lasers that focus to hit an ion “trapped” in place on top of a chip. Using lasers to control ions, scientists have learned to exploit ions as quantum bits, or qubits, …

[ad_2][ad_1] The University of Wyoming (UW) launched a file Center for Blockchain and Digital Innovation. As mentioned on the UW website: “Wyoming is a known pioneer state for primates. In recent years, the state has passed groundbreaking legislation to create a regulatory environment to promote the growth of blockchain applications …
