I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.

“#Researchers cut nanometer-sized patterns into 2-D materials” Credit: Samuel Howell / 2020 EPFL EPFL researchers have developed a high-precision technology that enables them to carve nanometric patterns into two-dimensional materials. With their pioneering nanotechnology, EPFL researchers have achieved the impossible. They can now use heat to break the links between atoms with a miniature scalpel….
“#3-D-printed neutrino detectors” Example of a plastic Scintillator detector (left) and a stage of its 3D-printing process (right). Credit: CERN Plastic scintillators are one of the most used active materials in high-energy physics. Their properties make it possible to track and distinguish between particle topologies. Among other things, scintillators are used in the detectors of…
“#Biomechanical analyses and computer simulations reveal the Venus flytrap snapping mechanisms” Venus flytrap with prey. Credit: Plant Biomechanics Group The Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) takes only 100 milliseconds to trap its prey. Once their leaves, which have been transformed into snap traps, have closed, insects can no longer escape. Using biomechanical experiments and virtual Venus…
“#A blue spark to shine on the origin of the universe” Artistic representation of the new fluorescent molecule that can shed light on the elusive nature of neutrinos. Credit: University of the Basque Country An interdisciplinary team of scientists led by researchers from DIPC, Ikerbasque and UPV/EHU, has demonstrated that it is possible to build…

“#Helicopter or cartwheel? What happens when a molecule collides with a surface” laboratory where new experiments on molecule-surface interactions were conducted.Swansea University researchers have demonstrated for the first time an experimental determination of a scattering matrix, opening up new opportunities for studying and modelling molecule-surface interactions.

“#Marching for change: 2017 Women’s March met with mostly positive support online” Despite stirring up some controversy, the 2017 Women’s March was met with largely positive support on Twitter, according to researchers. Credit: Unsplash @Thejoshhoward Large protest events can be divisive, spurring an outpouring of both support and opposition. But new Penn State research found…
“#Agricultural conservation schemes not enough to protect Britain’s rarest butterflies” A wildflower-sown set-aside strip managed through an agri-environment scheme agreement. Credit: Katie Threadgill Conservation management around the margins of agriculture fail to protect butterfly species at greatest risk from the intensification of farming, a new study says. The research, from the University of York, says…
“#Sumatran tiger killed in suspected poisoning” An official takes a sample from the carcass of a male Sumatran tiger found buried at the Batang Gadis national park A Sumatran tiger has been found dead in a suspected poisoning, an Indonesian official said Tuesday, a day after alleged poachers were charged with killing another of the…
“#ATLAS experiment finds evidence of spectacular four-top quark production” Figure 1: Event display of a candidate four-top-quark event, where two of the top quarks decay leptonically (one with a resulting muon (red) and one with an electron (green)), and two top quarks decay hadronically (green and yellow rectangles). The jets (b-tagged jets) are shown as…
