Science Advances – Interfacing gene circuits with microelectronics through engineered population dynamics Researchers interfaced synthetic biology with microelectronics through engineered population dynamics that regulate the accumulation of charged metabolites. They demonstrate electrical detection of the bacterial response to heavy metals …
There is a large gap between the current crop of task-specific narrow AI tools and Artificial General Intelligences (AGIs) envisioned by futurists and SF authors. Ben Goertzel has been working towards AGI. There is also OpenAI and other companies and …
New simulations by a research team led by UC San Diegos Alexey Arefiev point the way toward making matter from light. The process starts by aiming a high-power laser at a target to generate a magnetic field as strong as …
Scientists from the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) developed an experimental diagnostic test for COVID-19 that can visually detect the presence of the virus in 10 minutes. It uses a simple assay containing plasmonic gold nanoparticles to detect …
Breakthrough measurements of exoplanet Proxima B were made with radial velocity measurements of unprecedented precision using ESPRESSO, the Swiss-manufactured spectrograph the most accurate currently in operation which is installed on the Very Large Telescope in Chile. Proxima b …
Astronauts Bob and Doug are successfully in orbit. There will be a series of adjustments to move them to the Space Station. Tomorrow they will dock with the space station. They will move through a series of checkpoints as they …
The Roswell Biotechnology and IMEC Molecular Electronics chips will seek to master the integration of molecular devices with nanometer precise CMOS. Molecular electronics will be the next era of biotechnology for next level gene sequencing, many new devices and massive …
Roswell Biotechnologies and IMEC are partnering to develop the first molecular electronics chips for disease surveillance, precision medicine and DNA storage. They are targeting 2021 for commercial molecular electronic chips. In 2018, IMEC and Candence taped out a 3 nanometer …
Using the method of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, NUSTMISIS scientists created HfC0.5N0.35, (hafnium carbonitride) which is close to a desired theoretical composition. It has a high hardness of 21.3 GPa and can withstand temperatures over 4000 degrees celsius. The hardness is …
1. Chandra X-Ray Space Telescope – Can Black Hole Tidal Disruptions Leave Remnants? 2. Cosmoquest – A star that had a brush with a giant black hole and lived to tell the tale through exclamations of X-rays 3. The Hill …
