Getting More Heat Out of Sunlight
A newly developed material that is so perfectly transparent you can barely see it could unlock many new uses for solar heat.
New Material Shows High Potential for Quantum Computing
A joint team of scientists at the University of California, Riverside, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is getting closer to confirming the existence of an exotic quantum particle called Majorana fermion, crucial for fault-tolerant quantum computing — the kind of quantum computing that addresses errors during its operation.
Deep Submersible Dives Shed Light on Rarely Explored Coral Reefs
Just beyond where conventional scuba divers can go is an area of the ocean that still is largely unexplored. In waters this deep — about 100 to at least 500 feet below the surface — little to no light breaks through.
Scientists Find Thirdhand Smoke Affects Cells in Humans
Thirdhand smoke can damage epithelial cells in the respiratory system by stressing cells and causing them to fight for survival, a research team led by scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has found.
Controlling Deadly Malaria Without Chemicals
Scientists have finally found malaria’s Achilles’ heel, a neurotoxin that isn’t harmful to any living thing except Anopheles mosquitoes that spread malaria.
