“New formula works as well as commercial permanent dyes without chemically altering hairs It’s an issue that has plagued the beauty industry for more than a century: Dying hair too often can irreparably damage your silky strands. Now a …
“Lithium-metal batteries — which can hold up to 10 times more charge than the lithium-ion batteries that currently power our phones, laptops and cars — haven’t been commercialized because of a fatal flaw: as these batteries charge and discharge, lithium is …
“Researchers use machine learning to better gauge failure of solar panels; could lead to longer-lasting panels, lower costs Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have taken a crucial step toward increasing the lifespan of photovoltaic solar panels and potentially lowering …
“Scientists at Aix-Marseille University developed a stable mechanical design to measure electrical current across a single molecule that assembles on a noble metal at room temperature. When noble metals, like gold, are treated with an aliphatic thiol, like alkanethiol, a …
News Monocrystalline silicon thin film for cost-cutting solar cells with 10-times faster growth rate fabricated
“A research team from Waseda University and Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) have successfully produced high-quality thin film monocrystalline silicon with a reduced crystal defect density down to the silicon wafer level at a growth rate that is more …
“Photonics researchers at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have achieved the extra-ordinary by creating a diode consisting of light that can be used, for the first time, in miniaturised photonic circuits, as published in Optica. Dr Pascal Del’Haye and …
“University of British Columbia researchers have found a new system that could help yield ‘warmer’ quantum technologies. Quantum technologies such as quantum computers have the potential to process information much more quickly and powerfully than conventional computers. That prospect has …
“Electrical devices in use today use conductive materials to guide electrons where they are needed. These materials must be fastened in place and insulated in order to keep the electricity on the right path. New research from the University of …
News Scientists design conceptual asteroid deflector and evaluate it against massive potential threat
“Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists are part of a national planetary defense team that designed a conceptual spacecraft to deflect Earth-bound asteroids and evaluated whether it would be able to nudge a massive asteroid – which has a remote chance …
“Artificial intelligence is sweeping industries like medicine and finance. What if the machine you’re reading this on could learn too? Generally, computers slow down as they age. Their processors struggle to handle newer software. Apple even deliberately slows its …
