Researchers create microscope-based thermometer using quantum technology
A team of researchers from Osaka City University worked with international partners to create a reliable and precise microscope-based thermometer using quantum technology. The thermometer is so accurate that it’s able to measure the temperature of microscopic animals. The technology can detect temperature-dependent properties of quantum spins and fluorescent nanodiamonds. Quantum sensing technology exploits the …
Drexel Medicine Researchers Develop New Technology to Target DNA Damage Repair in Cancer Patients | Now
Health Drexel Medicine Researchers Develop New Technology to Target DNA Damage Repair in Cancer Patients A team of Drexel University College of Medicine researchers is advancing a way to destroy cancer cells exploiting “synthetic lethality,” which is caused by deficiency in the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway. Synthetic lethality occurs when deficiencies in each of …
Shark researchers size up real ‘Megalodon’ for first time
Image copyright Oliver Demuth Image caption How a human diver would have compared to the real Meg The enormity of a prehistoric mega-shark made famous in Hollywood films has finally been revealed by researchers. Until now, only the length of the Otodus Megalodon, as featured in the 2018 film The Meg, had been estimated from …

Potsdam, NY, Aug. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Water quality issues have plagued some New York State lakes for decades, and recently, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo challenged Clarkson University and SUNY ESF to develop new technologies to try to reduce …
Researchers Uncover How Cells Interact With Supporting Proteins To Heal Wounds
When we get a wound on our skin, the cells in our bodies quickly mobilize to repair it. While it has been known how cells heal wounds and how scars form, a team led by researchers from Washington University in St. Louis has determined for the first time how the process begins, which may …

UNH researchers studying UV technology to disinfect N95 masks
Researchers at the University of New Hampshire are learning how to use ultraviolet light to disinfect N95 masks.“We’ve worked in ultraviolet probably for about 30 years,” said professor James Malley, who specializes in disinfection. Since March, Malley and his team of five students have studied nine devices to find ways for front-line workers to reuse …
‘Blown away’: Australian coronavirus researchers examine everything from breastfeeding to explosives technology | Australia news
More than 200 Australian studies into Covid-19 are under way, extending far beyond the search for a vaccine. Almost every Covid-19 research project being led by Australians has been captured in a report published on Saturday, including studies of breastfeeding guidelines for parents with Covid-19, filter systems to remove the virus via air-conditioning systems, monitoring …
