Collaborate Disseminate
These days displays are increasingly expected to be bidirectional devices, accepting not only touch inputs, but also to integrate fingerprint sensing and even somehow combine a camera with a display …read more Continue reading Using an OLED Display’s Light for Embedded Sensors
schwit1 shares a report from Nature: Which scientific publishers and journals are worst affected by fraudulent or dubious research papers — and which have done least to clean up their portfolio? A technology start-up founded to help publishers spot po… Continue reading Journals With High Rates of Suspicious Papers Flagged By Science-Integrity Startup
Hong Kong officials discovered the city’s first dinosaur fossils on an uninhabited island in a local geopark, they said Wednesday. Initial examinations indicate the remains belong to a large Cretaceous-era dinosaur from 66-145 million years ago, with s… Continue reading Dinosaur Fossils Found For First Time in Hong Kong
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Science Magazine: Imagine a thin wristband that monitors your steps and heartbeat like an Apple Watch. Or clothing that keeps you cool with built-in air conditioning. Or even a flexible implant that could help y… Continue reading ‘Electric Plastic’ Could Unleash Next-Gen Implants and Wearable Tech
It’s easy to use electricity — solar-generated or otherwise — to desalinate water. However, traditional systems require a steady source of power. Since solar panels don’t always produce electricity, these …read more Continue reading For Desalination, Follow the Sun
Everyone knows those small bags of forbidden “Do not eat” candy that come with fresh rolls of FDM filament as well as a wide range of other products. Containing usually …read more Continue reading Figuring Out the Most Efficient Way to Reuse Bags of Desiccant
MIT engineers have built a solar-powered desalination system that “ramps up its desalting process and automatically adjusts to any sudden variation in sunlight, for example by dialing down in response to a passing cloud or revving up as the skies clear… Continue reading MIT Researchers Build Solar-Powered Low-Cost Drinking Water Desalination System
The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows …read more Continue reading Double-Slit Time Diffraction At Optical Frequencies
New research challenges assumptions about decision-making, revealing people tend to believe they have sufficient information regardless of actual data at hand. A study by Gehlbach, Robinson, and Fletcher, published earlier this month, found participant… Continue reading People Think They Already Know Everything They Need To Make Decisions
Compared to the human brain, a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) brain is positively miniscule, not only in sheer volume, but also with a mere 140,000 or so neurons and 50 …read more Continue reading Mapping a Fruit Fly’s Brain with Crowdsourced Research
