Scientists create a nanomaterial that is both twisted and untwisted at the same time



Bath UK (SPX) Sep 23, 2019
A new nanomaterial developed by scientists at the University of Bath could solve a conundrum faced by scientists probing some of the most promising types of future pharmaceuticals. Scientists who study the nanoscale - with molecules and materials 10,000 smaller than a pinhead - need to be able to test the way that some molecules twist, known as their chirality, because mirror image molecules with the same structure can have very different properties. For instance one kind of molecule smells of lem ... read more

When it comes to robots, reliability may matter more than reasoning
Adelphi MD (SPX) Sep 24, 2019
What does it take for a human to trust a robot? That is what Army researchers are uncovering in a new study into how humans and robots work together. Research into human-agent teaming, or HAT, has examined how the transparency of agents - such as robots, unmanned vehicles or software agents - influences human trust, task performance, workload and perceptions of the agent. Agent transparency refe ... more

This is how a 'fuzzy' universe may have looked
Boston MA (SPX) Oct 04, 2019
Dark matter was likely the starting ingredient for brewing up the very first galaxies in the universe. Shortly after the Big Bang, particles of dark matter would have clumped together in gravitational "halos," pulling surrounding gas into their cores, which over time cooled and condensed into the first galaxies. Although dark matter is considered the backbone to the structure of the univer ... more
