Researchers at the University of Washington have announced the development of a new type of PCB with significantly higher recycling potential than traditional printed circuits. Utilizing cutting-edge sustainable polymers, these new PCBs have the potential to address a substantial portion of the world's e-waste issues if widely adopted.Read Entire Article
To explain the origin of life, we need to understand how and where these building blocks form and under what conditions they spontaneously assemble themselves into more complex structures.
A new study co-authored by Yale sociologist Nicholas A. Christakis demonstrates that tapping into the dynamics of friendship significantly improves the possibility that a community will adopt public health and other interventions aimed at improved human well-being.
Sodium-ion batteries aren't new, but they've only started to gain traction in recent years. Compared to their lithium counterparts, the materials used in sodium batteries are far more abundant (up to 1,000 more plentiful) and affordable. They are also much safer than lithium-ion batteries, and can be discharged to 0VRead Entire Article
Low Earth Orbit satellite communication takes center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! Mike McLernon from MathWorks joins me to chat all about the advantages of Low Earth Orbit satellites versus traditional Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites, the challenges of this kind of satellite technology, and the tools and practices that engineers can use … Read More → "Space According to LEO: How Low Earth Orbit Satellite Technology Is Opening Up New Space Applications"
Climate models are some of the most complex pieces of software ever written, able to simulate a vast number of different parts of the overall system, such as the atmosphere or ocean. Many have been developed by hundreds of scientists over decades and are constantly being added to and refined. They can run to over a million lines of computer code—tens of thousands of printed pages.
Scientists led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst have adapted a device called a microwave circulator for use in quantum computers, allowing them for the first time to precisely tune the exact degree of nonreciprocity between a qubit, the fundamental unit of quantum computing, and a microwave-resonant cavity.
“We haven’t had a full night’s sleep since our son was born eight years ago,” said Mrs. B, pointing to her son’s dry, red and itchy skin. Her son has had eczema his entire life. Also known as atopic dermatitis, this chronic skin disease affects about 1 in 5 children in the industrialized world. Some studies have found rates of eczema in developing nations to be over thirtyfold lower compared with industrialized nations. However, rates of eczema didn’t spike with the Industrial Revolution,...
These statements indicate you're flourishing, says Dr. Alphonsus Obayuwana: "Happy, full of hope, and functioning well emotionally and socially."
By MARIA CHENG and CHRISTINA MALKIA Associated Press KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — Scientists say a new form of mpox detected in a mining town in Congo might more easily spread among people. Already, Congo is seeing its biggest mpox outbreak with more than 4,500 suspected infections and nearly 300 deaths. A new study that will
