Nov 16, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Is there life in Martian caves? It’s a good question, but it’s not the right question—yet. An international collaboration of scientists led by NAU researcher Jut Wynne has dozens of questions we need asked and answered. Once we figure out how to study caves on...
Skin-like electronics could monitor your health continuously
Nov 16, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Flexible, wearable electronics are making their way into everyday use, and their full potential is still to be realized. Soon, this technology could be used for precision medical sensors attached to the skin, designed to perform health monitoring and diagnosis. It would be like having...
All-3D-printed lithium metal batteries with high energy density
Nov 16, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A research team led by Prof. WU Zhongshuai from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed all-3D printed Li metal batteries (LMBs) with robust cycle stability and ultrahigh areal energy density. The LMBs take a porous and...
Quantum biologists find that enzymes could be key to understanding how DNA mutates
Nov 16, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Using state-of-the-art quantum chemical calculations, researchers from Surrey’s Quantum Biology Doctoral Training Centre have found that the part of the process by which DNA replicates itself happens at speeds 100 times faster than previously predicted. This finding sheds new light on the assumed theory that...
A multidisciplinary approach with python and ROS
In short, robotics is no longer the exclusive bailiwick of engineers, physicians or research groups. There is a large community of robot connoisseurs and enthusiasts. However, understanding the ins and outs of modern robotics involves more than just technical knowledge. It also involves asking some fundamental questions, especially with respect...
