With strong bactericidal properties, graphene has the potential to become a game changer in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. So far there have been no efficient ways to control these properties — and thus no way to make use of graphene’s potential in healthcare. Now researchers have solved the problem by using the same technology […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the buzz phrase of 2024. Though far from that cultural spotlight, scientists from agricultural, biological and technological backgrounds are also turning to AI as they collaborate to find ways for these algorithms and models to analyze datasets to better understand and predict a world impacted by climate change. Scientists have now

Researchers have devised an agent to help large language models ‘think.’

Scientists are pioneering a new approach to designing electrolytes for more energy-efficient and less carbon-intensive electrochemical processes. They hope to improve electrolyte performance in applications such as iron production for steel.

The tiered umbrella is one of Thailand’s oldest and most sacred ornamental symbols. Constructing one of these ornate pieces, also called chatras, can take master artisans up to six months. However, researchers demonstrate a technique for constructing seven-tiered umbrellas using high-powered lasers, which dramatically reduces the production time. Employing carbon dioxide lasers, they were able

Researchers have found a way to use a component of glycerol to produce bio-based propylene.

Ammonia (NH3) can be decomposed to produce hydrogen gas without releasing CO2. The ease of transport and high hydrogen density make it valuable for the green energy industry. A drawback of using NH3 is that it requires very high temperatures for decomposition reactions. Researchers have now presented a surface protonics-assisted method for the on-demand production

Artificial coastlines, including human-made dikes and other engineered constructions, can help prevent erosion and protect from storms and flooding. However, ecological functions remain unprotected from many of these structures. So researchers in China have investigated the use of specialized types of cement. The team started with a limestone and clay cement that hardens underwater and

Astronomers have observed the atmosphere of a hot and uniquely inflated exoplanet using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.

New statistical models based on rigorous physiological data from more than 100 surgeries provide objective, accurate measures of ‘nociception,’ the body’s subconscious perception of pain.
