Scientists have been excitedly studying topological states in two-dimensional systems that have magnetic properties. Why? Because they hold great potential for spintronics and nanotechnology. One of these materials is a two-dimensional ferromagnet called CrS 2 . It has something unique: multiple W
Scientists are always looking for better ways to study changes in our climate and weather. One important tool is satellite data, but getting accurate information for a long time is tough. That's why China started working on a special tool in 2015. This tool, called the Space Cryogenic Absolute Radio
You might now be wondering about glyphosate, a chemical commonly used in weed killers. It's a big deal because it can cause harm if it lingers in the environment. Scientists have just invented a clever way to spot glyphosate using tiny copper particles, or nanoprobes. These are made by mixing two ac
Imagine you're a detective, and your job is to solve mysteries of the smallest particles in the universe. That's what scientists are doing with the TESLA collider and its special detective tool, a new high-energy e+e- annihilation detector. This isn't your typical detective work; we're talking about
Nikola Tesla is often hailed as a forgotten genius whose inventions shaped our modern world. But how much of that is true, and how much is just hype? Let’s take a closer look at some popular claims about Tesla’s inventions and see if they stand up to scrutiny. Tesla was indeed a brilliant inventor.
The Netherlands is preparing for the next ten years of stellar discoveries! The Netherlands Committee for Astronomy (NCA) has crafted a strategic plan from 2011 to 2020. This plan is created for the excellence research school in astronomy, NOVA, which includes the universities of Amsterdam, Groninge
Imagine trying to spot clouds from space using special satellite measurements. This is what scientists did with PARASOL, a satellite that takes pictures from different angles. They used a smart computer program, called a neural network, to find clouds in these pictures. This program was trained on f
Ever heard of calmodulin (CaM)? It's a tiny protein that plays a big role in our bodies. One of its jobs is to help control a specific channel called TRPV5, which is crucial for keeping our calcium levels balanced. You see, TRPV5 is like a tiny gate that lets calcium into our kidney cells. But CaM h
Ever wondered how to solve those tricky high-dimensional Poisson equations? Neural Walk-on-Spheres (NWoS) is a cool new way to do it! This method uses a unique blend of stochastic representations and Walk-on-Spheres methods. Instead of relying on spatial gradients, NWoS focuses on solving Poisson eq
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) images can get blurry due to dispersion, especially when there's a wide spectrum of light involved. This hurts the quality of the images and makes it hard to see important details. Researchers have found a clever and affordable way to fix this using a type of artif
