I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
Science
“#’Simulation microscope’ examines transistors of the future” Structure of a single-gate FET with a channel made of a 2-D material. Arranged around it are a selection of 2-D materials that have been investigated. Credit: Mathieu Luisier/ETH Zürich Since the discovery of graphene, two-dimensional materials have been the focus of materials research. Among other things, they…
“#Unknown currents in Southern Ocean have been observed with help of seals” A Weddell seal collects data in the ocean while swimming. This information doesn’t only help marine sciences researchers, but also biologist, to understand the seals’ habitat better. Credit: Dan Costa Using state-of-the-art ocean robots and scientific sensors attached to seals, researchers in Marine…
“#Light nucleus predicted to be stable despite having two strange quarks” An artist’s impression of a bound nucleus containing three normal nucleons, which have up and down quarks, and a Xi hyperon (gold sphere at bottom right), which contains two strange quarks. Calculations by RIKEN nuclear physicists predict that this exotic nucleus will be stable….
“#Designer peptides show potential for blocking viruses, encourage future study” Credit: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Chemically engineered peptides, designed and developed by a team of researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, could prove valuable in the battle against some of the most persistent human health challenges. The team’s findings, recently published in Nature Scientific Reports, demonstrate how…
“#Case for axion origin of dark matter gains traction” The axion field rapidly runs over the potential barriers and eventually begins oscillations when sufficiently slowed down by friction. Credit: Co & Harigaya In a new study of axion motion, researchers propose a scenario known as “kinetic misalignment” that greatly strengthens the case for axion/dark matter…
“#Life-emulating molecules show basic metabolism” Work from the Otto-lab has resulted in a chemical system that shows different properties of life. Through oxidation, basic building blocks join to form rings of different sizes (left, middle and top). Eventually, rings of six building blocks (16) form stacks. These stacks grow, and multiply by breaking, leading to…
“#A free hobby as part of the school day for all children in Finland” Credit: University of the Arts Helsinki Finnish children will have a free hobby during the school day thanks to funding from the government of Finland. Behind the scenes the art education researchers together with different cultural organizations have worked actively to…
“#Support grows for sustainable method for manufacturing composite fiberboard” Purdue University researchers have developed a lower-cost, sustainable and greener method for producing composite boards — a method that is already seeing growing support from major industry players. Credit: Chris Adam/Purdue University Composite binders are important materials used in furniture, flooring and other consumer products, but…
“#The geological record of mud deposits” María Jesús Irabien. Photo: UPV/EHU The nature of the sediments on the Basque continental shelf is very heterogeneous. From the point of view of distribution, two clearly differentiated sectors can be picked out in terms of grain size. “In the area of Bizkaia medium to coarse-sized sands predominate, whereas…
“#New compounds from starfish of Kuril basin show efficacy against cancer cells.” Credit: CC0 Public Domain Russian scientists from Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU), G. B. Elyakov Pacific Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry (PIBOC FEB RAS), and A.V. Zhirmunsky National Scientific Center for Marine Biology (NSCMB FEB RAS) have discovered four new steroid substances which target…
