Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin and North Carolina State University have discovered for the first time a unique property in complex nanostructures that has thus far only been found in simple nanostructures. Additionally, they have unraveled the internal mechanics of the materials that makes this property possible. In a new paper published Read more about Nanostructures unlock energy dissipation[…]
Motors are everywhere in our day-to-day lives — from cars to washing machines. A futuristic scientific field is working on tiny motors that could power a network of nanomachines and replace some of the power sources we use in devices today. In new research published recently in ACS Nano, researchers from the Cockrell School of Engineering Read more about Nanomotors as control the nanoworld to make up new things we want for our real worl[…]
Many companies today use experiments to gather the data that drives their strategies. That’s how Facebook knows whether a newsfeed change increased user engagement, or how a bank knows whether its new promotional strategy increased deposits. But a phenomenon called interference has always made getting to that clear cause-and-effect difficult. Now researchers at The University Read more about A new method that illuminates business[…]
People often think about human behavior in terms of what is happening in the present reading a newspaper, driving a car, or catching a football. But other dimensions of behavior extend over weeks, months, and years. Examples include a child learning how to read; an athlete recovering from a concussion; or a person turning 50 Read more about Neuroinformatics research has advanced the understanding of human cognition and brain networks[…]
Modern communications technology, regardless of use, relies on a similar formula: devices send signals and information through data centers, towers and satellites en route to their final destination. The effectiveness of the communication relies on how well that information travels, and there are a variety of factors that can slow down that journey – geography, Read more about Wireless communications to next level[…]
