On May 14, 2018, a tempest straight from The Twilight Zone rained over Oklahoma. Rather than scatter the Earth with jagged lightning bolts, the shrouds of dense clouds powering this storm spit one … [+4569 chars]
HRTEM images of N-CQDs (representative N-0.25 sample) show that the as-synthesized N-CQDs are spherical (Fig. 1a,c) with particle size ranging from 1.78 to 6.50 nm. The Gaussian distribution (Fig. 1b… [+15520 chars]
The enormous star known as Betelgeuse has been a target of study since the early days of astronomy. As one of the brightest objects in the sky, it’s visible even without a telescope. But in 2019, it … [+2553 chars]
High resolution, high sensitivity measurements of adhesion forces can potentially transform many applications. A newly developed Fiber-Tip Microforce Sensor (FTMS) by Professor Yiping Wang and collea… [+5583 chars]
The arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis (AMS) is one of the most ancient and broadly occurring mutualistic associations between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). This intimate relationship … [+1622 chars]
A crustacean kept in an aquarium in Japan has now been found to be a new species. The discovery adds to the almost two dozen known species of giant isopods (Bathynomus) massive crustaceans that seem … [+3151 chars]
