New interferometry technique could improve GPS
The conceptual design of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)-radio telescope interferometer. The celestial sources (right) are sufficiently distant that the incoming signals can be considered plane waves. However, depending on the baseline, the signals from the GNSS satellites may be in the near field and this must be taken into account. At the bottom …
UC Davis, Mars Researchers Discover Scalable Production Technique for Low-Calorie Sugar Substitute
Scientists at the University of California, Davis, in partnership with the Mars Advanced Research Institute, have announced a significant breakthrough in the production of low-calorie sugar substitutes, such as allulose. This discovery could help address one of the primary obstacles to the widespread adoption of these alternatives: production costs. Allulose, also known as D-psicose, is …

The Difference Between Technology and Technique
This week, we answer a question from Kaia from China. Question: Could you tell me the differences between technology and technique? And how do we use them in our daily life? Thank you. Answer: Dear Kaia, Thank you for your question. The words “technology” and “technique” are different. But they both come from a Greek …
Egyptian mummy: New X-ray technique reveals clues about ancient 1,900-year-old mummy
Researchers used a new combination of CT (computed tomography) technology and X-ray diffraction to reveal clues about a Roman-era Egyptian mummy, which was discovered in Hawara, Egypt. For nearly a century, Egyptian mummies have been imaged noninvasively with X-rays. In findings outlined in the Journal of the Royal Society on Tuesday, the team of researchers …
Novel Technique Spots Neuronal Uptake of Amyloid in Alzheimer’s Disease
One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease is the formation of amyloid plaques–sticky clumps of a protein called amyloid beta–that collect between neurons in the brain. Increasingly, however, attention has turned from these insoluble plaques to soluble forms of amyloid beta that can be taken up into neurons and are highly neurotoxic. A new …
Home-grown tech: Australian collaboration to deliver world-leading gyroscope technology
RMIT University Australian researchers and industry partners will collaborate to design and manufacture the world’s most precise, compact and cost-effective gyroscope, in a new $8.7 million project. Ultra high-performance gyroscopes can be used to improve the navigation and safety of autonomous cars, correct the course of satellites travelling at 11,000 km/h and enhance the precision …
New Technique Illuminates Migrating Macrophages To Help Study Stroke
Macrophages are part of the innate immune system and essential for brain development and function. Using a novel method, scientists from Jena University Hospital, the University of Bonn and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York (USA) succeeded in visualizing macrophages that were formed in the bone marrow. In studies on mice, …
Hydroponics – Static Solution Culture Technique
Hydroponics is an amazing procedure by which plants are grown with the help of artificially made nutrient solution, into water, devoid of soil. This cultivation procedure does not necessitate the use of soil or water, bringing in a revolutionizing change to the traditional mode of cultivation. This method has proved to be highly beneficial and …
An NLP Decision Destroyer Technique and an Elephant in Thailand
In May of 2008 I went on a vacation to Thailand with my dear friend, Nichola. We traveled there without a plan, a hotel room, or any converted dollars to baht. Just a commitment to have an incredible time, and return to Canada with as many unique experiences as possible. By the end of our …
