Jul 03, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Scientists have for the first time observed the early universe running in extreme slow motion, unlocking one of the mysteries of Einstein’s expanding universe. Einstein’s general theory of relativity means that we should observe the distant – and hence ancient – universe running much slower...
Astrophysicists propose a new way of measuring cosmic expansion: lensed gravitational waves
Jul 03, 2023 (Nanowerk News) he universe is expanding; we’ve had evidence of that for about a century. But just how quickly celestial objects are receding from each other is still up for debate. It’s no small feat to measure the rate at which objects move away from each other...
An unexpected antenna for nanoscale light sources
Jul 03, 2023 (Nanowerk News) The fast switching and modulation of light is at the heart, among other things, of modern data transfer, in which information is sent through fibre optic cables in the shape of modulated light beams. It has been possible for several years now to miniaturise light...
AI and CRISPR precisely control gene expression
Jul 03, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Artificial intelligence can predict on- and off-target activity of CRISPR tools that target RNA instead of DNA, according to new research published in Nature Biotechnology ("Prediction of on-target and off-target activity of CRISPR–Cas13d guide RNAs using deep learning"). The study by researchers at New York...
