Building electronics that don’t die: Columbia's breakthrough at CERN

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is tough on electronics. Situated inside a 17-mile-long tunnel that runs in a circle under the border between Switzerland and France, this massive scientific instrument accelerates particles close to the speed of light before smashing them together. The collisions yield tiny maelstroms of particles and…

Digital twins are reinventing clean energy — but there’s a catch

As the world grapples with the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change, researchers at the University of Sharjah are turning to a cutting-edge technology that could reshape the future of energy: AI-powered digital twins. According to the researchers, these digital replicas of the physical world have…

Monzino: ‘Non ho mandato io i messaggi a Bova’ – Notizie – Ansa.it

“Federico Monzino riferisce di non essere l’autore dei messaggi inviati a Raoul Bova; inoltre Fabrizio Corona è l’unica persona a cui ha inoltrato le chat e gli audio in questione”. Lo ha detto Sirio Serafinelli, dello studio legale Tomaino e De Zan di Milano, e avvocato di Federico Monzino, il…

This spectrometer is smaller than a pixel, and it sees what we can’t

Researchers have successfully demonstrated a spectrometer that is orders of magnitude smaller than current technologies and can accurately measure wavelengths of light from ultraviolet to the near-infrared. The technology makes it possible to create hand-held spectroscopy devices and holds promise for the development of devices that incorporate an array of…

Gli uomini stregati dall’odore delle donne nel periodo fertile – Biotech – Ansa.it

L‘odore del corpo femminile cambia durante il periodo fertile dell’ovulazione e influisce in maniera misurabile sul comportamento degli uomini, che si sentono più attratti e rilassati: lo indica lo studio dell’Università di Tokyo pubblicato sulla rivista iScience. Sebbene i risultati non provino ancora l’esistenza dei feromoni negli esseri umani, suggeriscono…

Walk faster, live longer: How just 15 minutes a day can boost lifespan

Regular walking is widely recognized for its significant benefits to overall health and well-being. Previous research has primarily focused on middle-to-high-income White populations. Now, a novel analysis using data from the Southern Community Cohort Study, involving 79,856 predominantly low-income and Black individuals across 12 southeastern US states, confirms the benefits…

This gut hormone could explain 40% of IBS-D cases—and lead to a cure

High levels of a hormone found in cells in the gut could underlie many cases of chronic diarrhea and help explain up to 40% of cases of patients with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, according to a new study led by scientists at the University of Cambridge. The research, published…

Did humans learn to walk in trees?

It’s hard to tell when — and why — our ancestors got down from trees and started walking on two legs. Many early hominins capable of bipedal walking were also well-adapted for climbing, and we lack fossil evidence from a key period when climate change turned forests into open, dry…

Atomic-scale secrets: What really happens inside your battery

Electrochemical cells – or batteries, as a well-known example – are complex technologies that combine chemistry, physics, materials science and electronics. More than power sources for everything from smartphones to electric vehicles, they remain a strong motivation for scientific inquiry that seeks to fully understand their structure and evolution at…

Columbia scientists turn yogurt into a healing gel that mimics human tissue

Researchers from Columbia Engineering have established a framework for the design of bioactive injectable hydrogels formulated with extracellular vesicles (EVs) for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. Published on July 25 in Matter, Santiago Correa, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Columbia Engineering, and his collaborators describe an injectable hydrogel platform…
