Old stars live longer than we thought

The type of stars we refer to, which cannot be seen by the naked eye, officially up to now the objects which have suffered the greatest loss of mass. But the spiral structures detected by an international team show that this is not the case. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190225112305.htm

A new spin in nano-electronics

In recent years, electronic data processing has been evolving in one direction only: the industry has downsized its components to the nanometer range. But this process is now reaching its physical limits. Researchers are therefore exploring spin waves -- a promising alternative for transporting information in more compact microchips. Cooperating with international partners, they have successfully generated and controlled extremely short-wavelength spin waves. The physicists achieved this feat by harnessing a natural magnetic phenomenon. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190225112257.htm

Partners in catalysis: An efficient route to unsaturated ketones

In organic chemistry, discovering new reactions is one thing, but to carry them off efficiently is quite another. Carbon-carbon bond-forming is at the heart of organic synthesis, allowing us to stitch together diverse functional groups into an endless array of useful compounds. Now researchers have neatly streamlined one of the most important of those reactions. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190225100729.htm

New chimpanzee culture discovered

Different cultures, different habits and different behavioral patterns -- this applies not only to humans but also to chimpanzees, one of our two closest living relatives. A team of researchers now describes a new 'behavioral realm' of the Eastern chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) of the Bili-Uéré region in Northern DR Congo, based on the results of a 12-year study. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190225100719.htm

Machines whisper our secrets

Scientists showed they could reconstruct what a researcher was doing by recording the sounds of the lab instrument used. The method accurately detects what type of DNA a DNA synthesizer is making. That means academic, industrial, and government labs are potentially wide open to espionage that could destabilize research, jeopardize product development, and even put national security at risk. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190225100721.htm
