Mechanical forces generated by cells not only drive the bending, stretching, alignment, and repositioning required for tissue development and homeostasis, but also regulate cell functions ranging from ...

The energy transition requires not only the development of new technologies, but also their reliable and economical operation. For many years, the Institute of Solar Research has been developing ...

Thin films are two-dimensional (2D) material layers deposited on a bulk substrate, possessing a thickness of a few nanometers to impart properties that cannot be realized by base materials. The unique ...

When folks speak about fuel economy, quoting IFTA, pen-to-paper, dash readouts and daily vs. 30-day, do we really understand what the data is reporting? These are all different, and rarely will they ...

A recent study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics has provided the most accurate measurement of the universe’s expansion rate, a discovery that not only refines our understanding of cosmology but ...

Powerful, safe batteries are a key component in the success of electric mobility. This makes measuring a battery's capacity and state a crucial factor. The most informative method of doing this is ...

Astronomers have found a clever new way to slice and dice the flickering light from a distant star in a way that reveals the strength of gravity at its surface. That is important because a star’s ...

Lasers that transmit data on optical fibers do not produce monochromatic light. Instead, they provide a narrow spectrum that includes many wavelengths. The physical characteristics of optical fibers ...
