Technology from Science Daily

Ion irradiation offers promise for 2D material probing
Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily
Two-dimensional materials such as graphene promise to form the basis of incredibly small and fast technologies, but this requires a detailed understanding of their electronic properties. New research demonstrates that fast electronic processes can be probed by irradiating the materials with ions first.
Physicists propose path to faster, more flexible robots
Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily
Physicists revealed a microscopic phenomenon that could greatly improve the performance of soft devices, such as agile flexible robots or microscopic capsules for drug delivery.
Can we revolutionize the chemical industry and create a circular economy? Yes, with the help of catalysts
Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily
A new commentary paper puts forth a transformative solution to the unsustainable reliance on fossil resources by the chemical industry: catalysis to leverage sustainable waste resources, ushering the industry from a linear to a circular economy.
Diamond glitter: A play of colors with artificial DNA crystals
Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily
Using DNA origami, researchers have built a diamond lattice with a periodicity of hundreds of nanometers -- a new approach for manufacturing semiconductors for visible light.
Deep-sea sponge's 'zero-energy' flow control could inspire new energy efficient designs
Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily
The deep-sea Venus flower basket sponge can filter feed using only the faint ambient currents of the ocean depths, no pumping required, new research reveals. This discovery of natural 'zero energy' flow control could help engineers design more efficient chemical reactors, air purification systems, heat exchangers, hydraulic systems, and aerodynamic surfaces.
A powerful tool speeds success in achieving highly efficient thermoelectric materials
Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily
Thermoelectric materials could play an important role in the clean energy transition, as they can produce electricity from sources of heat that would otherwise go to waste. Researchers report a new approach to efficiently predict when thermoelectric materials will have improved performance in converting heat into electricity.
Airborne technology brings new hope to map shallow aquifers in Earth's most arid deserts
Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily
The new technique will map the top of the aquifer, called the 'water table,' spanning areas as large as hundreds of kilometers using a radar mounted on a high-altitude aircraft. According to the researchers, Desert-SEA will measure the variabilities in the depth of the water table on a large scale, allowing water scientists to assess the sustainability of these aquifers without the limitations associated with in-situ mapping in harsh and inaccessible environments.
Large language models can't effectively recognize users' motivation, but can support behavior change for those ready to act
Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily
Large language model-based chatbots can't effectively recognize users' motivation when they are hesitant about making healthy behavior changes, but they can support those who are committed to take action, say researchers.
Scientists use generative AI to answer complex questions in physics
Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily
Researchers used generative AI to develop a physics-informed technique to classify phase transitions in materials or physical systems that is much more efficient than existing machine-learning approaches.
Researchers wrestle with accuracy of AI technology used to create new drug candidates
Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily
Researchers have determined that a protein prediction technology can yield accurate results in the hunt to efficiently find the best possible drug candidates for many conditions.
Breaking bonds to form bonds: Rethinking the Chemistry of Cations
Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily
A team of chemists has achieved a significant breakthrough in the field of chemical synthesis, developing a novel method for manipulating carbon-hydrogen bonds. This groundbreaking discovery provides new insights into the molecular interactions of positively charged carbon atoms. By selectively targeting a specific C--H bond, they open doors to synthetic pathways that were previously closed -- with potential applications in medicine.
Spider silk sound system
Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily
Researchers have investigated how spiders listen to their environments through webs and found that the webs match the acoustic particle velocity for a wide range of sound frequencies. Playing sound ranging from 1 Hz to 50 kHz for the spiders and measuring the spider silk motion with a laser vibrometer, they found the sound-induced velocity of the silk was the same as the particles in the air surrounding it. This confirmed the mechanism that these spiders use to detect their prey.
