Spectacular flying reptiles soared over Britain’s tropical Jurassic past
Spectacular flying reptiles armed with long teeth and claws which once dominated the skies have been rediscovered, thanks to new research.
Discovery could lead to munitions that go further, much faster
Researchers have discovered a new way to get more energy out of energetic materials containing aluminum, common in battlefield systems, by igniting aluminum micron powders coated with graphene oxide.
Magnetoresistance ratio enhancement opens door to highly sensitive magnetic field sensors
By creating a new multilayer structure with an enhanced magnetoresisitance ratio, researchers show that it's possible to increase the sensitivity of magnetic field sensors.
A major step closer to a viable recording material for future hard disk drives
By tweaking an iron-platinum alloy, researchers are trying to clear a few hurdles slowing the material's viability as a future perpendicular recording media.
In response to heat, the more affluent use air-conditioners; low-income households use water
A new study has revealed that Singapore households from different socioeconomic groups vary significantly in their use of water and electricity for the relief of heat. The findings suggest that water ..
First detection of rain over the ocean by navigation satellites
In order to analyse climate change or provide information about natural hazards, it is important to gather knowledge about the rain. Better knowledge of precipitation and its distribution could, for e..
Chemists discover new signatures to identify cystic fibrosis in infants sooner
Scientists have discovered several new biomarkers from a single drop of blood that could allow earlier and more definitive detection of cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disease which strikes both child..
Better understanding of dog body language could make interactions safer
A better understanding of the way dogs communicate distress could be the first step in reducing the risk of dog bites for both children and adults, a new study has found.
Researchers develop method to non-destructively measure the salt content of concrete structures
Using a compact neutron source, researchers have non-destructively measured the salt content of structures such as bridges, tunnels, and elevated roadways, which can suffer from degradation due to exp..
New study first to predict which oil and gas wells are leaking methane
A new study is the first to predict — with up to 87 percent accuracy — which oil and natural wells are most likely to be leaking methane.
