ALMA differentiates two birth cries from a single star

Astronomers have unveiled the enigmatic origins of two different gas streams from a baby star. Using ALMA, they found that the slow outflow and the high speed jet from a protostar have misaligned axes and that the former started to be ejected earlier than the latter. The origins of these two flows have been a mystery, but these observations provide telltale signs that these two streams were launched from different parts of the disk. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190226112305.htm

Coda waves reveal carbon dioxide storage plume

Pumping carbon dioxide into the ground to remove it from the atmosphere is one way to lower greenhouse gases, but keeping track of where that gas is, has been a difficult chore. Now researchers are using previously ignored seismic waves to pinpoint and track the gas clouds. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190226112308.htm

Neanderthals walked upright just like the humans of today

Neanderthals are often depicted as having straight spines and poor posture. However, these prehistoric humans were more similar to us than many assume. Researchers have shown that Neanderthals walked upright just like modern humans -- thanks to a virtual reconstruction of the pelvis and spine of a very well-preserved Neanderthal skeleton found in France. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190225170236.htm

New periodic table of droplets could help solve crimes

Scientists have created a periodic table of droplet motions, inspired in part by parallels between the symmetries of atomic orbitals, which determine elements' positions on the classic periodic table, and the energies that determine droplet shapes. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190225145652.htm

Avoiding the crack of doom

Researchers invent a needle that knows where to go

Syringes and hollow needles have been used to deliver medication for more than a century. However, the precise implementation of these devices depends on the operator, and it can be difficult to deliver medication to delicate regions such as the suprachoroidal space at the back of the eye. Investigators have developed a highly sensitive intelligent-injector for tissue-targeting (i2T2) that detects changes in resistance in order to properly and safely deliver medication in preclinical testing. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190225123441.htm

It's all in the twist: Physicists stack 2D materials at angles to trap particles

Physicists report that they have developed a new system to trap individual excitons -- bound pairs of electrons and their associated positive charges. Their system could form the basis of a novel experimental platform for monitoring excitons with precision and potentially developing new quantum technologies. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190225112300.htm
