Researchers in Japan say they have found a way to recycle coloured plastics without losing quality — a breakthrough that could help tackle growing waste problems. Packaging often uses bright colours to attract buyers, but…
Micropillar compression for finding heat-tolerant alloys
Accurate measurements of crystalline deformation should help engineer stronger components for more energy-efficient turbines. Metals containing niobium silicide are promising materials that can withstand high temperatures and improve efficiency of gas turbines in power plants…
How Brain Paralyzes While Sleeping
Researchers have discovered a group of neurons in the mouse brainstem that suppress unwanted movement during rapid- eye- movement sleep. Tsukuba, Japan — We laugh when we see Homer Simpson falling asleep while driving, while…
