China is building massive weather modification system to make more rain

China is testing cutting-edge weather modification technology in Tibetan Plateau. The country aims to implement a large-scale weather changing project to ensure a consistent rain supply in the area three times as big as Spain, nearing 1 million km2 (620 000 mi2)….

Quantum internet goes hybrid

Quantum internet goes hybrid

Researchers at the Institute of Photonic Sciences made the first demonstration of an elementary link of a hybrid quantum information network, using a cold atomic cloud and a doped crystal as quantum nodes and single photons as information carriers. In a recent…

Gamma rays will reach beyond the limits of light

Gamma rays will reach beyond the limits of light

Researchers have discovered a new way to produce high energy photon beams. The new method makes it possible to produce these gamma rays in a highly efficient way, compared with today's technique. The obtained energy is a billion times higher than the energy of…

Breakthrough device heals organs with a single touch

Researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Ohio State's College of Engineering have developed a new technology, Tissue Nanotransfection (TNT), that can generate any cell type of interest for treatment within the patient's own body….

CERN: Unprecedented number of particles reached in record time at LHC

CERN: Unprecedented number of particles reached in record time at LHC

CERN reports that an unprecedented number of particles has been reached in record time at their Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Just five weeks after physics resumed, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is already running at full throttle, their report said. On Wednesday,…

Sound waves direct particles to self-assemble, self-heal

Sound waves direct particles to self-assemble, self-heal

An elegantly simple experiment with floating particles self-assembling in response to sound waves has provided a new framework for studying how seemingly lifelike behaviors emerge in response to external forces. Scientists at the Department of Energy’s…

First steps toward high-speed space internet

First steps toward high-speed space internet

NASA scientists are developing a trailblazing, long-term technology demonstration of what could become the high-speed internet of the sky. The Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD) will help NASA understand the best ways to operate laser communications…
