Diamond laser taps into spooky quantum world for true randomization

Randomization may seem simple, but there’s basically no such thing in classical physics – pretty much everything could be theoretically predicted if you had enough information. For true randomization you need to turn to the spooky world of quantum phys… Continue reading Diamond laser taps into spooky quantum world for true randomization→

$3,500 EV battery prototype promises 200-mile range on a 10-minute charge

Around 12 months ago we looked at an innovative prototype battery for electric vehicles that was highly promising on several fronts, including being able to be recharged in just 10 minutes for hundreds of miles of range. The researchers behind it have … Continue reading $3,500 EV battery prototype promises 200-mile range on a 10-minute charge→

World-first biomarker test can predict depression and bipolar disorder

Australian scientists have developed and validated a world-first test that is claimed to accurately measure levels of a brain protein known to be associated with depression and bipolar disorder. The new research suggests this test could offer doctors a… Continue reading World-first biomarker test can predict depression and bipolar disorder→

“Cotton candy” exoplanet defies models for how gas giants form

WASP-107b was already one of the weirdest exoplanets ever discovered, with its incredibly low mass for its size giving it the density of cotton candy. On closer inspection, astronomers have now found that its density is even lower than previously thoug… Continue reading “Cotton candy” exoplanet defies models for how gas giants form→

Sponge-like aerogel turns airborne vapor into drinkable water

Water security is a significant problem and pulling it out of the air, as fanciful as that may sound, is shaping as a potential part of the solution. A team from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has put forward a promising example of this typ… Continue reading Sponge-like aerogel turns airborne vapor into drinkable water→

Vision changes could predict cognitive decline in Parkinson’s patients

Researchers suggest eye tests could be a way to effectively predict which Parkinson's disease patients are likely to develop dementia

A pair of newly published studies from scientists at University College London are offering novel insights into how the neurodegeneration associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD) leads to cognitive decline. The research suggests minor vision problems can precede cognitive decline by up to 18 months.
