Researchers combined OLEDs with metasurfaces to project holograms. The method enables simpler, cheaper, and smaller displays. New research from the University of St Andrews is advancing holographic technology, with potential applications in smart devices, communication, Read More
Next-generation nanoengineered switches can cut heat loss in electronics –
Electronic devices lose energy as heat due to the movement of electrons. Now, a breakthrough in nanoengineering has produced a new kind of switch that matches the performance of the best traditional designs while pushing Read More
For the third year running toxic blue-green algae blooms that look like pea soup and smell like rotten eggs have covered much of Lough Neagh, the largest lake in the UK and Ireland. Summary For Read More
Pressure from surrounding tissues activates invasive programs in cancer cells. This mechanical stress rewires epigenetic regulation. Cancer cells are notoriously adaptable, capable of shifting their characteristics as they spread throughout the body. Many of these Read More
Solar flares heat ions much more strongly than electrons. The finding offers a new explanation for spectral line broadening. Recent work from the University of St Andrews suggests that particles in solar flares can become 6.5 Read More
America is awesome at science. For as long as most of us have been alive, United States scientists have published more research, been cited more often by other scientists, earned more patents, and even won Read More
Scientists have uncovered how rogue DNA rings may help spark glioblastoma at its earliest stages. An international research team has shown that rogue rings of DNA that exist outside chromosomes, called extrachromosomal DNA, or ecDNA, Read More
This week, researchers reported on a new biopsy tool that can detect HPV-associated head and neck cancer up to 10 years before symptoms appear. Researchers developed a process to transform two-dimensional paintings into full-color, three-dimensional holograms, Read More
Cheese cave fungi reveal how genetic mutations drive rapid evolutionary
Many scientific discoveries are serendipitous—the result of chance. Seeing evolution in action in a cheese cave turned out to be exactly that for Benjamin Wolfe, associate professor of biology, and his colleagues. Summary Benjamin Read More
