Spintronics: Ultra-short spin waves in an astoundingly simple material

Due to its potential to make computers faster and smartphones more efficient, spintronics is considered a promising concept for the future of electronics. A team of researchers has now successfully generated so-called spin waves much more easily and efficiently than was previously deemed possible. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190327112632.htm

Fluorine: Toxic and aggressive, but widely used

In toothpaste, Teflon, LEDs and medications, it shows its sunny side - but elemental fluorine is extremely aggressive and highly toxic. Attempts to determine the crystal structure of solid fluorine using X-rays ended with explosions 50 years ago. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190327112637.htm

Lying, sitting or standing: Resting postures determined by animals' size

Cows always lie on their chests so that their digestion is not impaired. Rodents sometimes rest sitting down, while kangaroos sometimes lie on their backs. The larger the animal, the less often it lies down, and when it does, it is more likely to lie on its side - but there are exceptions. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190327123843.htm

People 'hear' flashes due to disinhibited flow of signals around the brain, suggests study

A synaesthesia-like effect in which people 'hear' silent flashes or movement, such as in popular 'noisy GIFs' and memes, could be due to a reduction of inhibition of signals that travel between visual and auditory areas of the brain, according to a new study. It was also found that musicians taking part in the study were significantly more likely to report experiencing visual ear than non-musician participants. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190327112710.htm

Traveling-wave tubes: The unsung heroes of space exploration

What do televisions and space exploration have in common? No, we're not talking about a cheesy physics joke; rather, this is the story of an often-overlooked piece of equipment that deserves a place in the annals of telecommunication history. Now, researchers have reviewed the history of TWTs. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190327131913.htm

Autonomous weed control via smart robots

Soybean fields are becoming increasingly infested with a glyphosate-resistant weed called 'palmer amaranth.' One pesticide currently used for controlling it is 'Dicamba,' but it has devastating effects on adjacent areas, because it tends to drift when sprayed during windy conditions. Researchers report that they have now developed a drift-free, weed-specific applicator, which will pave the way for autonomous weed control with smart robots. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190327123903.htm

3D printer threads electronic fibers onto fabrics

The potential for wearable electronics goes far beyond smart watches, but our current options for battery packs and circuit boards don't make for the most comfortable E-socks. One solution, being developed by scientists in China, is to simply print flexible fibers on to transitional textiles or clothes. For example, they printed patterns that can harvest and store electricity onto fabrics. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190327112605.htm

'Aneurysm Number' may help surgeons make treatment decisions

Aneurysms form as abnormal bulges over an artery, and, if ruptured, can lead to serious health complications or even death. Some can exist for a long time without rupturing, and surgery can be risky, so a parameter to help surgeons is needed. Researchers report that they have developed a simple nondimensional parameter that depends on both geometry and flow waveform to classify the flow mode in both sidewall and bifurcation aneurysms. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190326112819.htm

New structural phase transition may broaden the applicability of photo-responsive solids

Scientists discovered a new type of structural phase transition of an organic crystal called the photo-triggered phase transition. Under this phenomenon, the crystal, which exhibits a thermal phase transition that is reversible by heating and cooling, transforms to the identical phase upon light irradiation at temperatures lower than the thermal transition temperature. The photo-triggered phase transition may extend functions of photo-responsive solid materials in the future. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190326105652.htm

First explanation for mechanism behind magnetism-driven NTE derived in 40 years

Most materials expand upon heating and contract upon cooling. Some behave inversely, a phenomenon known as negative thermal expansion (NTE). NTE observed in inverse perovskite antiferromagnets Mn3AN had remained unexplained for the past 40 years. However, a recent study by scientists successfully provided a theoretical explanation to this mechanism. When turn into practical use, this could help developers build more durable and heat-resistant small machine parts -- found commonly in optical, measuring and other devices. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190326105645.htm

Droughts could hit aging power plants hard

Droughts will pose a much larger threat to U.S. power plants with once-through cooling systems than scientists previously suspected, a new study shows. If surface waters warm 3 degrees Celsius and river flows drop 20 percent, drought-related impacts will account for about 20 percent of all shutdowns or capacity reductions at these plants. Retrofitting the plants with recirculating cooling systems will significantly reduce their vulnerability to costly impacts from both drought and environmental regulations. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190326160532.htm
