Scientists at Georgia Tech have discovered a new quantum state in a quirky material. In a phenomenon never before seen in anything else, the team found that applying a magnetic field increased the material’s electrical conductivity by a billion percent… Continue reading New quantum state boosts material’s conductivity by a billion percent
E. coli is arguably the most well-studied organism on Earth, but scientists have now discovered a new behavior that’s almost never seen in bacteria. The normally single-celled organisms have shown signs of previously unknown multicellular phases.Contin… Continue reading Single-celled bacteria exhibit previously unknown “multicellularity”
When it comes to communicable diseases, it’s important to identify the source of an outbreak as soon as possible. In the case of cholera, a new toilet sensor could help, by detecting how many people in a given area are experiencing one of the main symp… Continue reading Diarrhea detector could track cholera by listening to toilet users
Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have reported the development of a microneedle patch that can be self-administered and painlessly deposit a tattoo onto skin within minutes. The technology is initially proposed for simple medical or an… Continue reading New do-it-yourself microneedle tattoos are painless, quick and cheap
While many dog (or cat) owners would like to know what their pet does all day while left home alone, they don’t necessarily want a bunch of cameras placed inside their house. The PetTrack system offers a less intrusive alternative, as it keeps tabs on … Continue reading Georgia Tech system promises camera-free in-home pet tracking
With new manufacturing techniques comes the opportunity for brand new metal alloys with a huge range of possible properties. A team of researchers has now developed a new 3D-printable alloy with a specific nanostructure that makes it ultra strong and d… Continue reading 3D-printable 5-metal alloy proves ultra-strong but ductile
While a thunderstorm can put on quite a show for spectators on the ground, the best bits often happen above the clouds. Scientists have now described in detail the most powerful “gigantic jet” of lightning ever observed, which blasted energy equivalent… Continue reading “Gigantic jet” lightning blasts record-breaking bolt upwards into space
Although there are various systems that detect quadriplegics’ head movements, most such setups are limited to the control of wheelchairs. Such is not the case, however, with the MagTrack system.Continue ReadingCategory: Good Thinking, LifestyleTags: Ge… Continue reading MagTrack system uses face and head movements to control devices
Famously an insulator, rubber might not seem like a great candidate for an electrolyte material in a battery, but researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a new rubbery material with a high conductivity. This elastomer electrolyte could make for safe… Continue reading Rubbery electrolyte makes for longer-lasting, safer EV batteries
Is there microbial life floating around in the clouds of Venus? Scientists have long pondered this question and soon we may get some answers. A new report outlines the Venus Life Finder Missions, starting with a cloud-skimming mission in 2023 to search… Continue reading 2023 mission to Venus will skim the acidic clouds for signs of life
