Tech: New ways to image, characterize unique material — (Report)
Unlike its carbon cousin, two-dimensional borophene can't be reduced from a larger natural form. Bulk boron is usually only found in combination with...
Tech: Microscopic swimmers with visual perception of group members form stable swarms — ...
Birds, fish and bacteria often gather into groups or swarms. This so-called collective behaviour requires all group members to continuously and reciprocally adapt...
Tech: Left or right handed biomolecules — (Report)
Many biomolecules come in two versions that are each other's mirror image, like a left and a right hand. Cells generally use the...
Tech: Information theory holds surprises for machine learning — (Report)
New research challenges a popular conception of how machine learning algorithms "think" about certain tasks.
The conception goes something like this: because of their...
Tech: Physicists ‘flash-freeze’ crystal of 150 ions — (Report)
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have "flash-frozen" a flat crystal of 150 beryllium ions (electrically charged atoms), opening...
Tech: Researchers use magnetic 3D-printing technique to optimize the design and programming of tiny...
Assembling a microrobot used to require a pair of needle-nosed tweezers, a microscope, steady hands and at least eight hours. But now University...
Tech: New tools for creating mirrored forms of molecules — (Report)
One of the biggest challenges facing synthetic chemists is how to make molecules of only a particular "handedness." Molecules can come in two...
Tech: New method enables quantum simulations on larger systems — (Report)
Quantum phenomena are experimentally difficult to deal with, the effort increases dramatically with the size of the system. For some years now, scientists...
Tech: Nano-scale process may speed arrival of cheaper hi-tech products — (Report)
An inexpensive way to make products incorporating nanoparticles -- such as high-performance energy devices or sophisticated diagnostic tests -- has been developed by...
Tech: ‘Missing’ galactic mergers come to light with new technique — (Report)
Galaxy mergers -- in which two galaxies join together over billions of years in sometimes-dramatic bursts of light -- aren't always easy for...
