Engineers develop wearable respiration monitor with children's toy

Using Shrinky Dinks, a popular children's toy, engineers have created wearable, disposable respiration sensors that track the rate and volume of a wearer's breath. The new device will help sufferers of asthma and many other pulmonary conditions. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190214084633.htm

How cosmic events give insight into fundamental properties of matter

The option to measure the gravitational waves of two merging neutron stars has offered the chance to answer some of the fundamental questions about the structure of matter. At the extremely high temperatures and densities in the merger scientists conjecture a phase-transition where neutrons dissolve into their constituents: quarks and gluons. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190214084650.htm

Orangutans make complex economic decisions about tool use

Flexible tool use is closely associated to higher mental processes such as the ability to plan actions. Now a group of cognitive biologists and comparative psychologists found out that the apes carefully weighed their options. To do so the apes considered the details such as differences in quality between the two food rewards and the functionality of the available tools in order to obtain a high quality food reward. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190214100031.htm

High-speed surveillance in solar cells catches recombination red-handed

Using synchronized lasers pulses, researchers developed a new method of electrostatic force microscopy that can record movies with frames as fast as 300 nanoseconds. This is fast enough to watch electrons move inside solar cells, which can lead to more efficient solar power devices. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190214093407.htm

New molecules reverse memory loss linked to depression, aging

New therapeutic molecules show promise in reversing the memory loss linked to depression and aging. These molecules not only rapidly improve symptoms, but remarkably, also appear to renew the underlying brain impairments causing memory loss in preclinical models. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190214102504.htm
