Evaluating the impact of noise pollution on scallops
Marine invertebrates, often overlooked when evaluating noise pollution, can suffer from nearby shipping and construction.
General model for coupled infectious diseases clarifies how COVID synchronizes with the flu
Disease incidences tend to synchronize earlier when dynamics couple cooperatively, whereas later synchronization stems from competition between diseases and reduces strain on the health care system.
Additive engineering enables efficient, stable perovskite solar cells
Perovskite films with additives have bigger grains and better crystallinity, decreasing the density of defects.
Plasma reduces aeroacoustical noise of Aero-trains
Potential ecofriendly mode of transportation must become quieter to be feasible.
Building an ultra low-power analog-to-digital converter for medical applications
Medical implant devices require as little power consumption as possible, and a collection of new techniques enables even lower limits.
Addressing the memory bottleneck with in-memory computing
Performing operations within the memory unit could speed up computing time and benefit select applications.
Numerical model maps mechanics of complex biofilms
Dissipative particle dynamics can help forecast rheological behaviors of potentially harmful bacteria-covered surfaces
First optical Thomson scattering measurements made in Z-pinch fusion devices
Approach provides a new look into temperature and electron diagnostics for Z-pinch devices and can be ported to laser and tokamak fusion research machines.
Gravitational lensing hunts for exoplanets around binary stars
Two stars and one planet make a challenging system for microlensing, but the technique is adept at finding small and distant planets.
