New technology helps reveal inner workings of human genome
Jun 25, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Weill Cornell Medicine and New York Genome Center researchers, in collaboration with Oxford Nanopore Technologies, have developed a new method to assess on a large scale the three-dimensional structure of the human genome, or how the genome folds. The genome is the complete set of...
The star that survived a supernova
Jun 23, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A supernova is the catastrophic explosion of a star. Thermonuclear supernovae, in particular, signal the complete destruction of a white dwarf star, leaving nothing behind. At least that’s what models and observations suggested. So when a team of astronomers went to look at the site...
Solving the solar energy storage problem with rechargeable batteries that can convert and store energy at once
Jun 24, 2022 (Nanowerk News) As the climate crisis looms, scientists are racing to find solutions to common clean energy problems, including solar energy storage. Solar energy is one of the best renewable resources we have, but it has challenges that prevent it from being widely adopted and replacing conventional...
A new material holds promise for the next generation of organic electronics
Jun 24, 2022 (Nanowerk News) For decades, field-effect transistors enabled by silicon-based semiconductors have powered the electronics revolution. But in recent years, manufacturers have come up against hard physical limits to further size reductions and efficiency gains of silicon chips.
