HKU MILES-Shenzhen Unveils Super-Inert Dye for Surgery
2+ hour, 14+ min ago (301+ words) A cross-disciplinary research team led by Professor Hongjie DAI, Director of The Materials Institute of Life Sciences and Energy (MILES) of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) in Shenzhen, has developed a promising near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye for potential clinical…...
Ask Fuzzy: Does a dash of cold water make a cuppa cool more slowly?
11+ hour, 18+ min ago (466+ words) While Aristotle might have been a magnificent thinker, science was not his forte. How would he answer the question of whether adding a little cold water to a cup of tea would make it cool more slowly? The logic is…...
Why gold never tarnishes has finally been explained
3+ hour, 42+ min ago (216+ words) Gold may have a secret self-defense system that helps it resist tarnishing. Researchers discovered that atoms on gold surfaces reorganize themselves into patterns that block oxygen from reacting with the metal, suppressing oxidation by up to a trillion-fold. Beyond explaining…...
New Smart Material Can Control Heat Like a Computer Chip
23+ hour, 25+ min ago (314+ words) Heat normally follows strict rules. A material that efficiently absorbs heat from a particular direction and wavelength will also emit heat the same way. This fundamental principle, known as reciprocity, has long prevented scientists from independently controlling how heat is…...

Blue LED lights help chemists build complex drug molecules
11+ hour, 5+ min ago (589+ words) In drug discovery, building complex molecules quickly is the name of the game. Chemists want molecules with increasingly three-dimensional atomic structures because they may be more potent and selective inside the body, but the additional chemical steps needed to build…...
Outline Science - CARM
12+ hour, 53+ min ago (80+ words) Science outline, points to design, not chance: DNA's coded information, the universe's fine-tuning, and the Cambrian Explosion all testify to a Creator. #CARM #Apologetics #Christianity #IntelligentDesign These are some of my notes on Science. They are not complete and have…...
An electric car’s “dead” battery may not have been as dead as it seemed, and Cornell University has just tested a method that allows up to 95% of its original capacity to be restored without damaging it
13+ hour, 48+ min ago (991+ words) Scientists have developed a method to restore “dead” EV batteries to up to 95% capacity without breaking them down. By Adrian Villellas · Editorial process A tired electric vehicle battery may not be as “dead” as it looks. Researchers have developed a…...
