Work was recently completed on what’s being hailed as the largest mass timber building in Asia. Designed by Pritzker Prize winner Toyo Ito & Associates, the project features impressive green design, including solar panels that produce more electricity … Continue reading Asia’s largest timber building an eco-friendly class act
The brain is a constant center of electrical activity, and when measured via electroencephalogram (EEG), certain patterns emerge, in the form of regularly oscillating brainwave activity. When you’re feeling calm and relaxed, or even meditative, your br… Continue reading Brain-frequency primer accelerates learning and retention
Diamond is an effective electrical insulator, but that might not always be the case according to a new study from MIT and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore. The team has calculated that deforming diamond nano-needles would change their c… Continue reading “Metallizing” diamond could switch from insulator to conductor at will
