Bolometers are devices that measure the power of incident electromagnetic radiation thru the heating of materials, which exhibit a temperature-electric resistance dependence. These instruments are among the most sensitive detectors so far used for infrared radiation detection and are key tools for applications that range from advanced thermal imaging, night vision, infrared spectroscopy to observational […]

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 […]

Machine Learning Makes Drug Repurposing For Psychiatric Disorders More Effective
Artificial intelligence can increase the effectiveness of drug repositioning or repurposing research, according to a study published in Translational Psychiatry. In the study, which was supported by São Paulo Research Foundation – FAPESP, Brazilian researchers correlated information on genes associated with psychiatric and neurological disorders and drugs approved for use in treating other diseases that […]
Laser Inversion Enables Multi-Materials 3D Printing
Additive manufacturing–or 3D printing–uses digital manufacturing processes to fabricate components that are light, strong, and require no special tooling to produce. Over the past decade, the field has experienced staggering growth, at a rate of more than 20% per year, printing pieces that range from aircraft components and car parts to medical and dental implants […]
