How to Save Money on a New Mobile Phone
The average individual living in the United Kingdom spends approximately 3 hours and 23 minutes on their mobile phone every single day. This statistic is based on a survey carried out by the digital agency, Code Computerlove, in 2019. In other words, mobile phones have become critical parts of our daily lives, and there is […]
World Record: Plasma Accelerator Operates Right Around The Clock
A team of researchers at DESY has reached an important milestone on the road to the particle accelerator of the future. For the first time, a so-called laser plasma accelerator has run for more than a day while continuously producing electron beams. The LUX beamline, jointly developed and operated by DESY and the University of […]
Wearable Sensors Printed On Natural Materials Analyze Substances Present In Sweat
A wearable sensor printed on microbial nanocellulose, a natural polymer, has been created in Brazil by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in São Carlos in collaboration with colleagues at São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Araraquara, the University of Araraquara (UNIARA), the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), and the Brazilian National Nanotechnology Laboratory […]
Scientists Discover Way To Make Quantum States Last 10,000 Times Longer
If we can harness it, quantum technology promises fantastic new possibilities. But first, scientists need to coax quantum systems to stay yoked for longer than a few millionths of a second. A team of scientists at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering announced the discovery of a simple modification that allows quantum […]
