Scientists have found a simple, yet effective, way to improve how synchronization is measured in chaotic systems. The technique consists in adding a constant parameter to the 'analytic signals' in a way that emphasizes certain aspects of their timing. This could help improve brain-computer interfaces, which are meant to aid disabled people. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190213124430.htm

A new article is focused in particular on organic aerogels produced from phenolic compounds obtained upon processing Estonian oil shale, i.e. from local raw material. In order to produce highly porous aerogel from gel, supercritical extraction with carbon dioxide is used, in the process of which liquid is replaced by gas resulting in aerogel -- a very light and porous material. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190213124427.htm
