3D-printed robot hand plays the piano

Scientists have developed a 3D-printed robotic hand which can play simple musical phrases on the piano by just moving its wrist. And while the robot is no virtuoso, it demonstrates just how challenging it is to replicate all the abilities of a human hand, and how much complex movement can still be achieved through design. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181220163200.htm

A safe, wearable soft sensor

Researchers have developed a soft, non-toxic wearable sensor that unobtrusively attaches to the hand and measures the force of a grasp and the motion of the hand and fingers. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181221142511.htm

Twisting light to enable high-capacity data transmission

For the first time, researchers have used tiny gears made of germanium to generate a vortex of twisted light that turns around its axis of travel much like a corkscrew. Because germanium is compatible with the silicon used to make computer chips, the new light source could be used to boost the amount of data that can be transmitted with chip-based optical computing and communication. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181221123740.htm

Droughts boost emissions as hydropower dries up

Recent droughts caused increases in emissions of carbon dioxide and harmful air pollutants from power generation in several western states as fossil fuels came online to replace hampered hydroelectric power. A new study quantifies the impact. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181221123659.htm

Holiday asteroid imaged with NASA radar

The December 2018 close approach by the large, near-Earth asteroid 2003 SD220 has provided astronomers an outstanding opportunity to obtain detailed radar images of the surface and shape of the object and to improve the understanding of its orbit. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181221162221.htm

The coolest experiment in the universe

NASA's Cold Atom Laboratory on the International Space Station is the first facility in orbit to produce clouds of "ultracold" atoms, which can reach a fraction of a degree above absolute zero. Nothing in nature is known to hit the temperatures achieved in laboratories like CAL, which means the orbiting facility is regularly the coldest known spot in the universe. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181221161844.htm

NASA's InSight places first instrument on Mars

Quantum tricks to unveil the secrets of topological materials

'Topological materials' produce electron states that can be very interesting for technical applications, but it is extremely difficult to identify these materials and their associated electronic states. A 'crystal' made of light waves can now be used to deliberately drive the system out of equilibrium. By switching between simple and complicated states, the system reveals whether or not it has topologically interesting states. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181221123815.htm

What do we see in a mirror?

Researchers have developed metasurfaces with extreme angle-asymmetric response. The new device can be a good or bad reflector depending on the angle the light hits it. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181221123837.htm

Description of rotating molecules made easy

By turning highly complex equations into sets of simple diagrams, Feynman diagrams have established themselves as one of the sharpest tools in a theoretical physicist's toolbox. Scientists have now extended the technique: originally devised for subatomic particles, the simplest objects imaginable, the technique can now work with molecules. The research is expected to drastically simplify the description of molecular rotations in solvents. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181221123833.htm

Looking at molecules from two sides with table-top femtosecond soft-X-rays

Researchers have successfully combined a table-top laser-based extreme high-order harmonic source for short-pulse soft-X-ray absorption spectroscopy in the water window with novel flatjet technology. They are the first to demonstrate the simultaneous probing of carbon and nitrogen atoms in organic molecules in aqueous solution. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181221123831.htm

Chloroform emissions could delay ozone recovery by up to 8 years

A new study identifies another threat to the ozone layer's recovery: chloroform -- a colorless, sweet-smelling compound that is primarily used in the manufacturing of products such as Teflon and various refrigerants. The researchers found that between 2010 and 2015, emissions and concentrations of chloroform in the global atmosphere have increased significantly. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181220111756.htm
