Key Takeaways Nitrogen atoms extend the life of vibrations in Gallium Arsenide semiconductors. Heavy electron mass prevents the energy loss usually seen in mixed crystals. Terahertz spectroscopy allows scientists to observe phonon decay in real time. Bulleted Overview Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University compared pure GaAs with GaAsN epilayers. The team used femtosecond pulses to […]

Summary of Key Points Researchers at Nagoya University identified two specific bacteria that cause constipation by destroying intestinal mucus. Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron removes sulfate groups that protect the colon wall. Akkermansia muciniphila consumes the exposed mucin once the sulfate shield is gone. This bacterial cooperation dries out stool and prevents smooth passage. Altering bacterial enzymes offers […]

Summary of Key Takeaways Researchers at Osaka University successfully created subnanometer pores using an electrochemical reactor. The technology mimics biological ion channels found in human cell membranes. Negative voltage triggers a chemical reaction to block the pore with a solid precipitate. Reversing the voltage dissolves the precipitate to restart the ion flow. The system allows […]

Table of Contents The Sudden Ignition The Nature of Fast Fires The Satellite Perspective Key Takeaways Wind gusts reached 70 miles per hour across the Panhandle. The Ranger Road fire consumed 145,000 acres in one afternoon. NASA Aqua satellite imagery captured the smoke and dust plumes. State officials declared a disaster emergency for the region. […]

Summary of points Researchers at the University of California San Diego developed a technique called IRiSTM. This method combines infrared light with scanning tunneling microscopy to observe single molecules. Shaowei Li and Kangkai Liang led the effort to capture the vibrational frequencies of individual chemical bonds. Traditional spectroscopy detects millions of molecules simultaneously while this […]

Key Takeaways Scientists at Microsoft Research developed a glass storage system called Silica. A single palm-sized square stores two million books. Data remains readable for 10,000 years. The process uses femtosecond laser pulses to etch information. Table of Contents The Scale of Time The Femtosecond Laser A Ten-Millennium Archive Added Benefit The Scale of Time […]
