Captured carbon dioxide converts into oxalic acid to process rare earth elements

Removing carbon dioxide from power plant emissions is a good idea to start with -- and it may have an extra economic benefit. Engineers are presenting results on turning carbon dioxide into oxalic acid, which is used to process rare earth elements for electronic devices. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190222143339.htm

A tasty Florida butterfly turns sour

A 15-year study by entomologists found that, when living apart from the unsavory bug it mimics, the viceroy butterfly becomes yucky, making biologists rethink old theories about animal mimicry. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190222101314.htm

Honeybees' waggle dance no longer useful in some cultivated landscapes

For bees and other social insects, being able to exchange information is vital for the success of their colony. One way honeybees do this is through their waggle dance. Biologists have now shed some new light on the benefits and disadvantages of the bee dance. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190222101225.htm

Quantum Mechanics: Coldest quantum gas of molecules

Researchers have made a long-lived, record-cold gas of molecules that follow the wave patterns of quantum mechanics instead of the strictly particle nature of ordinary classical physics. The creation of this gas boosts the odds for advances in fields such as designer chemistry and quantum computing. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190221141409.htm

A quantum magnet with a topological twist

Researchers probed a special kind of magnet containing atoms arranged in a pattern called a kagome lattice, which takes its name from a Japanese basket. They found that electrons in this material exhibit exotic behaviors that could be exploited for futuristic applications -- and that under a high magnetic field some electrons in this material act like an upside-down magnet. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190222131938.htm

Understanding high efficiency of deep ultraviolet LEDs

Deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (DUV-LEDs) made from aluminium gallium nitride (AlGaN) efficiently transfer electrical energy to optical energy due to the growth of one of its bottom layers in a step-like fashion. This finding can lead to the development of even more efficient LEDs. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190222101245.htm

Could blockchain ensure integrity of clinical trial data?

Researchers have created a proof-of-concept method for ensuring the integrity of clinical trials data with blockchain. The system creates an immutable audit trail that makes it easy to spot any tampering with results -- such as making the treatment look more effective or diminishing side effects. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190222084244.htm

Physicists get thousands of semiconductor nuclei to do 'quantum dances' in unison

Scientists found a way to exploit the interaction between the electron and the thousands of nuclei using lasers to 'cool' the nuclei to less than 1 milliKelvin. They then showed they can control and manipulate the thousands of nuclei as if they form a single body in unison, like a second qubit. This proves the nuclei in the quantum dot can exchange information with the electron qubit and can be used to store quantum information as a memory device. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190221141434.htm

Aquatic microorganism could inspire soft robots able to move fast in narrow spaces

Euglena cells are unicellular organisms that spend most of their time on swimming by beating their flagellum. Sometimes, Euglena performs harmoniously coordinated cell body deformation, in a behavior known as metaboly. A team of researchers shows that metaboly allows Euglena to crawl remarkably fast in narrow spaces. This feature could inspire new applications in soft robotics. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190221122951.htm
