A team of University of Arkansas physicists has successfully developed a circuit capable of capturing graphene's thermal motion and converting it into an electrical current.
"An energy-harvesting circuit based on graphene could be incorporated into a chip to provide clean, limitless, low-voltage power for small devices or sensors," said Paul...
A small LED torch that emits deep red light and costs just £12 to make could help improve declining eyesight, researchers have said.
Researchers believe the discovery, published in the Journals of Gerontology, could signal the dawn of new affordable home-based eye therapies, helping the millions of people globally with...
Fortunately, the ways in which we can peer into the mists of the void are increasing, and now include Kyoto University's 3.8 meter Seimei telescope.
Using this new instrument -- located on a hilltop in Okayama to the west of Kyoto -- astronomers from Kyoto University's Graduate School of Science...
A team of Brandon University (BU) researchers in Canada have found that waxworms, the caterpillar larvae of the greater wax moth, eats and biodegrades plastic.
The team has published their findings in biology journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
The study found that waxworms ate polyethylene, a common form of...
Thank goodness for the Earth's crust: It is, after all, that solid, outermost layer of our planet that supports everything above it.
But much of what happens below that layer remains a mystery, including the fate of sections of crust that vanish back into the Earth. Now, a team of...
A DNA research traces the homeland of modern humans to the Makgadikgadi-Okavango wetland.
Professor Vanessa Hayes, a geneticist at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Australia, said: "It has been clear for some time that anatomically modern humans appeared in Africa roughly 200,000 years ago.”
"What has been long debated...
Life on Earth has a long, but also an extremely turbulent history. On more than one occasion, the majority of all species became extinct and an already highly developed biodiversity shrank to a minimum again, changing the course of evolution each time. The most extensive mass extinction took place...
An Israeli veterinarian has discovered a Bronze Age Egyptian artifact engraved with hieroglyphs on the seafloor off the Israeli coast.
Rafi Bahalul is a 55 years old veterinarian and artist from the village of Ein Hod, who one morning last year was taking his constitutional morning swim along Israel’s northern...
SpaceX has made changes to its Starlink internet beta website, to now allow sign-ups without an invite, if your address is eligible for service, reports Tesla North.
Previously, Starlink website sign-ups for the beta program would be contacted via email to let them know about eligibility. But as of Wednesday,...
