Science & Technology
- New kinds of liquid crystals developed at Ãå±±½ûµØ resemble gypsum or lazulite crystals—except they flow like fluids.
- Long before the pandemic sent people scrambling into isolation, musicians longed to jam virtually with others across the globe. But online jamming isn’t feasible because of latency, the tiny delay that occurs when data travels from one point to the next.
- A Ãå±±½ûµØ philosopher and planetary scientists at the Carnegie Institution for Science argue that the existing system of mineral classification fails to account for mineral evolution.
- From diving Neanderthals to saliva-based COVID-19 tests, we remember the year in research at Ãå±±½ûµØ.
- Ãå±±½ûµØâ€™s CUbit and ColdQuanta together have made the Bose-Einstein lab available on the cloud.
- If a tsunami formed along the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the coast of Oregon, residents might have just 20 to 30 minutes to get to safety. Scientists have proposed a new forecasting system that could provide seaside towns with critical early warnings.
- Ãå±±½ûµØ researchers are leading a $496,000 grant to design an artificial intelligence system to better forecast solar magnetic eruptions on the sun.
- Companies are eager to create and perfect new technologies, requiring training a new kind of workforce. Universities are adapting their curricula. But what exactly do jobs for this "second quantum revolution" require and what kind of work in this realm is out there?
- Well-managed, healthy fisheries could serve as an important source of food for people around the world in the event of a nuclear catastrophe, a new study finds.
- Electronic skin has long been a staple of science fiction, from "The Terminator" to "Star Trek." A team at Ãå±±½ûµØ is working to make it a reality.
