Promising new class of super-strong and conducting materials e.g. the world’s strongest silver

Team creates metal that breaks decades-old theoretical limit, promising new class of super-strong and conducting materials. A team of scientists has made the strongest silver ever—42 percent stronger than the previous world record. But that’s not the important point. “We’ve discovered a new mechanism at work at the nanoscale that allows us to make metals

Domestic honeybees may be infecting wild bumblebees through shared flowers

Domestic beehives linked to spike in viral infections in nearby wild bumblebee populations—through shared flowers Many species of wild bumblebees are in decline—and new research shows that diseases spread by domestic honeybees may be a major culprit. Several of the viruses associated with bumblebees’ trouble are moving from managed bees in apiaries to nearby populations

A machine learning algorithm can detect signs of anxiety and depression in the speech patterns of young children

A machine learning algorithm can detect signs of anxiety and depression in the speech patterns of young children, potentially providing a fast and easy way of diagnosing conditions that are difficult to spot and often overlooked in young people, according to new research published in the Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics. Around one in five

Detecting hidden anxiety and depression in young children with a wearable sensor

Early detection important in preventing anxiety disorders, risk of drug abuse, suicide later in life Anxiety and depression are surprisingly common among young children – as many as one in five kids suffer from one of them, starting as early as the preschool years. But it can be hard to detect these conditions, known as

Breakthrough research could lead to a dramatic reduction in the cost and energy consumption of high-speed internet connections

Breakthrough research from The University of Texas at Arlington and The University of Vermont could lead to a dramatic reduction in the cost and energy consumption of high-speed internet connections. Nonlinear-optical effects, such as intensity-dependent refractive index, can be used to process data thousands of times faster than what can be achieved electronically. Such processing

New depression detection tool: Depression reveals itself in social media images

When you’re feeling blue, your photos turn bluer, too. And more gray and dark as well, with fewer faces shown. In other words, just like people can signal their sadness by body language and behavior—think deep sighs and slumped shoulders—depression reveals itself in social media images. That’s the conclusion of new research showing that computers,

Discovery: A New Form of Light

A rule of chemistry suppressed — promising new ways to look into cells, make LEDs Glow-in-the-dark stickers, weird deep-sea fish, LED lightbulbs — all have forms of luminescence. In other words, instead of just reflecting light, they make their own. Now a team of scientists from the University of Vermont and Dartmouth College have discovered

A (Nano) Wrench in the Works

Hold up your two hands. They are identical in structure, but mirror opposites. No matter how hard you try, they can’t be superimposed onto each other. Or, as chemists would say, they have “chirality,” from the Greek word for hand. A molecule that is chiral comes in two identical, but opposite, forms—just like a left

Whales as Ecosystem Engineers

“As long-lived species, they enhance the predictability and stability of marine ecosystems” “Consider the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures glide under water, unapparent for the most part,” wrote Herman Melville in Moby Dick. Today, we no longer dread whales, but their subtlety remains. “For a long time, whales have been considered too
