Researchers at Ny University’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences have developed a novel algebraic model of DNA “hybridization,” a procedure central to many biotechnology devices that monitor alterations in cell’s gene expression or characterize a…
5 years ago, neuroscientist Christof Koch from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), neurosurgeon Itzhak Fried of UCLA, and their colleagues learned that just one neuron within the mind can function similar to a classy…
The first incarnation of the web was composed of static websites that linked to each other and search engines that will help you find sites of interest. Web 2. brought a social element to the…
Developing countries will be producing at least twice as much electronic waste (e-waste) as developed countries within the next 6-8 years, according to a new study published in ACS’ semi-monthly journal Environmental Science & Technology.…
Dr Jayne Wallace is making electronic a little much less disposable through making gorgeous objects that are destined to become family heirlooms. She fuses emerging technology with contemporary jewelry to produce psychologically significant, beautiful objects…
Of the things users expect their cell phones to be — address book, calendar, camera, music player — a wallet isn’t one of them, according to research by a Kansas State University marketing professor. Cell…
Physicists have taken major step forward in the development of practical phonon lasers, which emit sound in much the same way that optical lasers emit light. The development should lead to new, high-resolution imaging devices…
For nearly half a century, scientists have been trying to figure out how to build a cost-effective and reasonably sized X-ray laser that could, among other things, provide super high-resolution imaging. And for the past…
Math-based computer models are a powerful tool for discovering the details of complex living systems. John Tyson, professor of biology at Virginia Tech, is creating such models to discover how cells process information and make…
Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed a revolutionary way of capturing a high-resolution still image alongside very high-speed video — a new technology that is attractive for science, industry and consumer sectors alike.…
