Recent research by Joseph Vignola at the Catholic University of America is revolutionizing fresco assessment. Vignola and his team have applied laser Doppler vibrometry to locate delamination in the frescos of Constantino Brumidi in the U.S. Capitol building.
In July 1982, researchers in New Zealand recorded unidentifiable sounds as a part of an experiment to characterize the soundscape of the South Fiji Basin. The sound consisted of four short bursts resembling a quack, which inspired the name of the sound 鈥淏io-Duck,鈥 and researchers came to a consensus that the sounds had to be biological. Ross Chapman will present his work analyzing the mystery sounds as part of the virtual 187th ASA Meeting, presenting the waveform and spectrum of the recordings, as well as further evidence that the work was a conversation between multiple animals.
A Stony Brook University research team has uncovered a novel regime, or set of conditions within a system, for cooperative radiative phenomena, casting new light on a 70-year-old problem in quantum optics.
A new study reveals how sunlight can drive the purification of lake water by breaking down harmful contaminants. By comparing two photochemical pathways鈥攖riplet sensitization and direct photolysis鈥攖he research highlights how these mechanisms function differently across various lake environments. The study points out that while certain pollutants are degraded through organic carbon interactions, others rely heavily on sunlight intensity, suggesting a combined strategy for more effective water purification.
Digital Science is pleased to announce its continued support of the APE Award for Innovation in Scholarly Communication, which is currently open for applications.
The FAU College of Engineering and Computer Science recently welcomed Arslan Munir, Ph.D., an internationally renowned expert, researcher and pioneer in advanced computing and smart technologies who has made numerous contributions to the fields of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and intelligent systems.
A cutting-edge study has unveiled the genetic mechanisms that shape the vibrant purple leaves of tea plants, renowned for their health-enhancing anthocyanins. By exploring the genetic variations and differential gene expression behind this unique coloration, the research provides key insights into the molecular control of anthocyanin biosynthesis, paving the way for innovations in tea breeding.
Researchers tested new nanoink and printing technologies on the "roller coaster" of NASA microgravity flights. They demonstrated that electronic circuits can be printed in zero gravity -- potentially leading to electronic repairs or manufacturing in space.
We are thrilled to announce that five of our journals include Fruit Research, Vegetable Research, Ornamental Plant Research, Grass Research and Forestry Research have been officially indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) of Web of Science. This achievement marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to elevate the global visibility and academic impact of our journals.
Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) developed a smart monitoring system that applies digital sensing technology to maintain and manage small- and medium-sized aging bridges.
Morning glory plants that can resist the effects of glyphosate also resist damage from herbivorous insects, according to a University of Michigan study.
Dr. Hyang-Tag Lim's research team at the KIST has implemented a quantum computing algorithm that can estimate interatomic bond distances and ground state energies with chemical accuracy using fewer resources than conventional methods, and has succeeded in performing accurate calculations without the need for additional quantum error mitigation techniques.
Algorithms that can detect subtle changes in a person鈥檚 voice are emerging as a potential new diagnostic tool for Parkinson鈥檚 disease, according to researchers from Iraq and Australia.
In 1974, the independent discovery of the J/psi particle at SLAC and Brookhaven National Laboratory rocked the physics world, and entire textbooks had to be rewritten. Earlier this month, SLAC hosted a symposium to celebrate the milestone.
Trust between humans and robots is improved when the movement between both is harmonised, researchers have discovered.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center today was awarded nearly $8 million from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) in support of faculty recruitment as well as lung and colorectal cancer screening and early detection programs to address cancer incidence rates across Texas.
Small modular reactors could play key role in rebuilding a clean economy in post-war Ukraine. Argonne scientists will assess the emerging technology in new research.
University of Washington researchers developed a system for detecting subtle biases in AI models. They found seven of the eight popular AI models they tested in conversations around race and caste generated significant amounts of biased text in interactions 鈥 particularly when discussing caste. Open-source models fared far worse than two proprietary ChatGPT models.
In a new study, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign evaluated far-ultraviolet C (far-UVC) light as a safe way to alleviate fungal contamination of corn and wheat and found this technology to be effective.
