Could massive gravitons be viable dark matter candidates?
Today, many research teams worldwide are trying to detect dark matter, an invisible substance that is believed to account for most of the matter in the universe. As does not reflect or emit light,...
A highly performing transistor based on an inorganic metal halide perovskite
Transistors are electronic components that amplify and control the flow of electricity inside most existing electronic devices. Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology and the...
New ferrocenium-based anion-exchange membranes for fuel cells
Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) are semipermeable fuel cell components that can conduct anions but reject cations and gases. This enables the partition of substances that could chemically react with...
The experimental demonstration of topological dissipation in photonic resonators
So far, physicists have primarily studied topological phases in conservatively coupled systems. These are systems with dynamics that do not dissipate and a phase space that does not shrink over...
Reviewing past studies exploring the effects of steroids on cocaine-use behaviors
Past research findings suggest that women who are addicted to cocaine are more sensitive to cocaine-related stimuli that make them crave the drug and relapse into addiction. However, other studies...
Using Rubik’s cube to improve and evaluate robot manipulation
Researchers at University of Washington have recently developed a new protocol to train robots and test their performance on tasks that involve object manipulation. This protocol, presented in a...
New protocols to record neural activity using Neuropixels in clinical settings
To examine the human brain and better understand its functions, neuroscientists have so far used a variety of methods to record the electrical activity of brain cells. Traditionally, these methods...
A new model to automatically detect and filter spam emails
Spam emails are undesired messages that are often sent to many random users in bulks. These messages can contain advertisements, but also phishing links or malware. The automatic filtering of emails...
Researchers design holographic lenses based on plasma
Holograms are three-dimensional (3D) images produced by interfering beams of light that reflect physical objects or photographs. In recent years, they were introduced in a variety of settings, for...
An indium oxide-based transistor created using atomic layer deposition
Over the past decades, engineers have created increasingly advanced and highly performing integrated circuits (ICs). The rising performance of these circuits in turn increased the speed and...
