Nano therapy for micro-preemies protects lungs, brain in lab study

Very premature babies need extra oxygen and mechanical intervention to breathe, but this damages their lungs, causing a chronic lung disease called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). These babies have smaller and…

New method purifies hydrogen from heavy carbon monoxide mixtures

Refining metals, manufacturing fertilizers and powering fuel cells for heavy vehicles are all processes that require purified hydrogen. But purifying, or separating, that hydrogen from a mix of other gases…

Record broken: hubble spots farthest star ever seen

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has established an extraordinary new benchmark: detecting the light of a star that existed within the first billion years after the universe’s birth in the big…

Topological phenomena at high, technologically relevant frequencies

A collaborative new study led by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania demonstrates topological control capabilities in an acoustic system, with implications for applications such as 5G communications and quantum…

External magnetic field causes shift in electronic Dirac band structure in a kagome magnet

Team of U.S. and Chinese researchers confirms predictions about the quantum behavior of the exotic magnets. Working with a quantum material known as a kagome magnet, a team of Boston…

Scientists achieve record efficiency for ultra-thin solar panels

A team co-led team by the University of Surrey has successfully increased the levels of energy absorbed by wafer-thin photovoltaic panels by 25%. Their solar panels, just one micrometre thick…
