UA-led research into 5G networks allows for remote surgery, autonomous vehicles and ever-faster processing speeds.
If you have a cellphone, you’ve probably heard the terms “3G,” “4G” and maybe even “5G.” They’re all generations, or Gs, of cellular systems, ranging from the very first analog cellphones, which ran on 1G, to today’s high-speed smartphones, which run on 4G. (more…)
In a finding that will be useful in nanoscale engineering, Brown University researchers have shown that miniscule differences in the roughness of surfaces can have important effects on how they stick together. (more…)
Asiatischer Elefant durch vielseitige Ernährung im Vorteil
Senckenberg-Wissenschaftler haben mit chinesischen Kolleginnen und Kollegen die Ernährungsgewohnheiten des Asiatischen Elefanten und dessen ausgestorbenen Verwandten Stegodon während des Pleistozäns untersucht. Sie kommen zu dem Schluss, dass sich die Asiatischen Elefanten vielfältiger ernährten und sich dadurch einen Vorteil verschafften. Die Studie erschien kürzlich im Fachjournal „Quaternary Science Reviews“. (more…)
Proteins help organisms form or inhibit ice crystals
Contrary to what you may have been taught, water doesn’t always freeze to ice at 32 degrees F (zero degrees C). Knowing, or controlling, at what temperature water will freeze (starting with a process called nucleation) is critically important to answering questions such as whether or not there will be enough snow on the ski slopes or whether or not it will rain tomorrow.

Forscher entwickeln neue Messmethoden zur Beschreibung von Aerosolteilchen
Luft besteht aus Gasmolekülen und winzigen Teilchen – sogenannten Aerosolen. Der Großteil dieser in der Luft getragenen Teilchen ist nur einige Nanometer groß und nicht sichtbar. Die Detektion und experimentelle Beschreibung dieser Nanoteilchen ist für das Verständnis von klimarelevanten Wolkeneigenschaften und der Bestimmung der Luftqualität von großer Bedeutung und daher ein wesentlicher Aspekt der Aerosolforschung.

AUSTIN, Texas — Engineers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a new noninvasive technique for simulating repairs to the heart’s mitral valve with levels of accuracy reliable enough for use in a clinical setting. (more…)
People can’t yet be in two places at the same time. But Los Angeles-based musician Julianna Barwick is getting around that little problem to treat guests at a new hotel in New York City to a never-ending, ever-changing, live performance that funnels the sound and mood of the skies above Manhattan down into the lobby.
