Saving energy by taking a close look inside transistors

Transistors are needed wherever current flows, and they are an indispensable component of virtually all electronic switches. In the field of power electronics, transistors are used to switch large currents. However, one side-effect is that the components heat up and energy is lost as a result. One way of combating this and potentially making considerable savings is to use energy-efficient transistors. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190110101407.htm

New computer modeling approach could improve understanding of megathrust earthquakes

Years before the devastating Tohoku earthquake struck the coast of Japan in 2011, the Earth's crust near the site of the quake was starting to stir. Researchers are using computer models to investigate if tiny tremors detected near this site could be connected to the disaster itself. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190110101424.htm

Mobile, instant diagnosis of viruses

In a first for plant virology, a team from CIRAD recently used nanopore technology to sequence the entire genomes of two yam RNA viruses. This as yet little-used but promising molecular biology technique paves the way for new tools for field diagnosis of plant, animal and human diseases. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190110101410.htm

Geoscientists reconstruct 'eye-opening' 900-year Northeastern U.S. climate record

Deploying a new technique for the first time in the region, geoscientists have reconstructed the longest and highest-resolution climate record for the Northeastern United States, which reveals previously undetected past temperature cycles and extends the record 900 years into the past, well beyond the previous early date of 1850. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190109114829.htm

Cosmic telescope zooms in on the beginning of time

Observations from Gemini Observatory identify a key fingerprint of an extremely distant quasar, allowing astronomers to sample light emitted from the dawn of time. Astronomers happened upon this deep glimpse into space and time thanks to a foreground galaxy acting as a gravitational lens, which magnified the ancient light. The Gemini observations provide critical pieces of the puzzle in confirming this object as the brightest appearing quasar so early in the history of the universe. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190110082707.htm
