Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) scientists have used a classic optical phenomenon known as the “Poisson spot” to create stable patterns of light called “optical skyrmions”. Optical skyrmions are tiny, swirling configurations in the properties…
Vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) hold great promise for large-scale energy storage, thanks to their high safety, long cycle life, and flexible scalability. However, their deployment in cold climates is hindered by the poor low-temperature stability of vanadium electrolytes. In…
Hong Kong — Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have revealed how mutations in a single gene can spark a rare respiratory disorder, highlighting the essential role of cellular structures…
Research finds that activity in easily measured cerebellar cells may not reliably predict signals in deeper brain regions linked to dystonia, ataxia, and tremor A new finding by a Virginia Tech neuroscientist at the Fralin Biomedical…
Subwavelength structures such as photonic crystals and metasurfaces offer transformative capabilities for light field regulation. However, their subwavelength scale precludes analytical modeling via geometric or wave optics. Traditional design methods rely on forward simulations, selecting…
ANN ARBOR—Developing new medicines can require thousands of chemistry experiments to identify the right recipe for a safe, effective and ideally affordable drug. The process is slow and labor-intensive, and many of the reactions depend…
