The event was spotted in infrared data — also a first — suggesting further searches in this band could turn up more such bursts.
A new method could provide detailed information about internal structures, voids, and cracks, based solely on data about exterior conditions.
California blackworms tangle themselves up by the thousands, then separate in a split second. Their trick may inspire the design of self-detangling materials and fibers.
A new low-temperature growth and fabrication technology allows the integration of 2D materials directly onto a silicon circuit, which could lead to denser and more powerful chips.
In Kenya, property rights are granted more often by democratic regimes than by autocrats — but decisions tend to be politically motivated regardless of who’s in charge.
Rather than start from scratch after a failed attempt, the pick-and-place robot adapts in the moment to get a better hold.
Rob Macfarlane synthesizes new composite materials by manipulating their structure at the nanometer scale.
The device, which uses electricity to boost hormone production in the stomach, could help to ease nausea and counteract appetite loss.
The observations will help astronomers pin down the physics of the plasma around black holes.
The new diagnostic, which is based on analysis of urine samples, could also be designed to reveal whether a tumor has metastasized.
The device would be a key component of a portable mass spectrometer that could help monitor pollutants, perform medical diagnoses in remote areas, or test Martian soil.
The technology, which mimics the body’s natural clotting process, could help keep severely injured people alive until they are treated at a hospital.
The printer generates vaccine-filled microneedle patches that can be stored long-term at room temperature and applied to the skin.
Researchers demonstrate a low-power “wake-up” receiver one-tenth the size of other devices.
