Hiding black hole found

Astronomers have detected a stealthy black hole from its effects on an interstellar gas cloud. This intermediate mass black hole is one of over 100 million quiet black holes expected to be lurking in our Galaxy. These results provide a new method to search for other hidden black holes and help us understand the growth and evolution of black holes. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190228093614.htm

Layering titanium oxide's different mineral forms for better solar cells

A research team has improved the efficiency of a new type of solar cell with a double layer consisting of pure anatase and brookite, two different mineral forms of titanium oxide. Using water-solute brookite nanoparticles, a brookite layer was fabricated on top of anatase, increasing solar cell efficiency by up to 16.82 percent. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190228093607.htm

Interactive surfaces enter a whole new dimension of flexibility

Researchers propose a novel flexible tube display that is able to take various surface shapes. Information is expressed by streaming colored fluids through the tube and controlling the positions and lengths of the droplets. The tube's flexibility makes it possible to wrap the tube around the surface of an object and present information on its surface that is difficult to express on a standard two-dimensional display. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190228093604.htm

Clues to possible Martian life found in Chilean desert

A robotic rover deployed in the most Mars-like environment on Earth, the Atacama Desert in Chile, has successfully recovered subsurface soil samples during a trial mission to find signs of life. The samples contained unusual and highly specialized microbes that were distributed in patches, which was linked to the scarce availability of water and nutrients. These findings will aid the search for evidence of signs of life during future planned missions to Mars. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190228075610.htm

Fast, flexible ionic transistors for bioelectronic devices

Researchers have developed the first biocompatible internal-ion-gated organic electrochemical transistor (IGT) that is fast enough to enable real-time signal sensing and stimulation of brain signals. The IGT provides a miniaturized, soft, conformable interface with human skin, using local amplification to record high quality neural signals, suitable for advanced data processing. This could lead to safer, smaller, and smarter bioelectronic devices that can be implanted in humans over long periods of time. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190227142721.htm

'Universal entangler' for new quantum tech

One of the key concepts in quantum physics is entanglement, in which two or more quantum systems become so inextricably linked that their collective state can't be determined by observing each element individually. Now researchers have developed a ''universal entangler'' that can link a variety of encoded particles on demand. The discovery represents a powerful new mechanism with potential uses in quantum computing, cryptography, and quantum communications. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190227131855.htm

Yeast produce low-cost, high-quality cannabinoids

Synthetic biologists have created an enzymatic network in yeast that turns sugar into cannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol, but also novel cannabinoids not found in the marijuana plant itself. The yeast factories would be more environmentally friendly and less energy intensive than growing the plant and separating out the psychoactive and non-psychoactive ingredients. They may also yield cannabinoid derivatives with unexpected medical uses. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190227131838.htm
