Astronomers have put together one of the most comprehensive maps of all the matter in the universe. The huge undertaking hints at a slightly smoother universe than we thought, suggesting that something might be missing from our models.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Detailed new map of all matter in the universe hints at something missing
In an effort to find an efficient way to keep buildings cooler in hot weather and warmer in the colder months, researchers at University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have developed a shape-shifting material that holds cop… Continue reading Cladding could regulate building temps by solidifying and liquefying
Scientists working with an experimental class of materials have made a breakthrough that could shape a new generation of electronic devices. The researchers’ creation is likened to a conductive “Play-Doh” that can be easily shaped, combining two charac… Continue reading Novel rule-breaking material behaves like “conductive Play-Doh”
Scientists have created a “quantum flute” that can coax photons to move in sync and interact with each other, which they almost never do in nature. The device could help improve future quantum computer designs.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, Science… Continue reading “Quantum flute” gets light moving in way never seen before
A six-year round trip to an asteroid and back has yielded unprecedented insights into the formation of the solar system. Scientists have conducted the first comprehensive analysis of samples returned from asteroid Ryugu, finding a detailed history star… Continue reading Returned asteroid sample unlocks time capsule older than the Sun
Researchers at the University of Chicago have demonstrated a key technology that could help scale up quantum computers, and used it to create a model with a record-breaking 512 qubits. The team combined atoms of two elements into an array, so that one … Continue reading Record-setting hybrid atom array could power quantum computer RAM and CPU
Just weeks after a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found psilocybin microdosing to be no different to placebo, another study has been published that found LSD microdoses have no effect on mood or cognition. The new research builds on a small but… Continue reading Another trial finds no evidence LSD microdosing does anything
As evidence continues to mount around the link between poor or insufficient sleep and the risk of obesity and metabolic disorders, a group of researchers in the US has seen fit to explore the flip side of this equation. The scientists have found that e… Continue reading An hour’s extra sleep puts overweight subjects into calorie deficit
Building exoskeletons for people is a rapidly growing branch of robotics. Whether it’s improving the natural abilities of humans with added strength or helping those with disabilities, the field has …read more Continue reading Adding Brakes to Actuated Fingers
Managing heat is a major challenge in electronics and engineering, and it’s controlled using materials that either conduct or insulate heat. A new material blurs that line by blocking heat in one direction but conducting it in another.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Twisted material conducts and insulates heat at the same time
