Properties of 'wonder material' graphene change in humid conditions

Graphene exhibits very different properties in humid conditions, according to researchers. Their study shows that in bi-layer graphene, which is two sheets of one atom thick carbon stacked together, water seeps between the layers in a humid environment. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190122115027.htm

Can you pick an MMA winner by studying fighters' faces?

With the UFC set to appear in Prague for the first time this February 23rd, Czech researchers have been getting into the fighting spirit. Participants were unable to predict fighters' MMA score based on 360 degree headshots -- but their face-based favorites tended to have higher anaerobic performance from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190123105824.htm

Shedding light on Saturn's moon Titan's mysterious atmosphere

A new study tackles one of the greatest mysteries about Titan, one of Saturn's moons: the origin of its thick, nitrogen-rich atmosphere.

Materials chemists tap body heat to power 'smart garments'

Many wearable biosensors, data transmitters and similar tech advances for personalized health monitoring have now been 'creatively miniaturized,' says a materials chemist, but they require a lot of energy, and power sources can be bulky and heavy. Now researchers report that they have developed a fabric that can harvest body heat to power small wearable microelectronics such as activity trackers. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190122153849.htm

Artificial intelligence can dramatically cut time needed to process abnormal chest X-rays

New research has found that a novel Artificial Intelligence (AI) system can dramatically reduce the time needed to ensure that abnormal chest X-rays with critical findings will receive an expert radiologist opinion sooner, cutting the average delay from 11 days to less than three days. Chest X-rays are routinely performed to diagnose and monitor a wide range of conditions affecting the lungs, heart, bones, and soft tissues. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190122084401.htm
