Scientists at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago have published a comprehensive review of one of the most ambitious frontiers in technology: stretchable neuromorphic electronics devices that are simultaneously soft enough to conform to human tissue, powerful enough to run artificial intelligence, and designed to learn and adapt in ways that mimic the biological brain. The review, published in the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, maps the current state of a field that is trying to solve a fundamental mismatch between human biology and modern computing hardware.

When acid rain swept across parts of Ontario in the 1960s, it had a dramatic effect on freshwater ecosystems.

For decades, a store of musty salmon cans sat overlooked in a warehouse, only to be tapped by scientists as the source of surprising ecological findings in the North Pacific.

Researchers from Nanjing Forestry University and Tsinghua University have developed a two-stage chemical process that converts polystyrene plastic waste directly into high-quality jet fuel using a single-atom ruthenium catalyst operating at lower temperatures and pressures, and at significantly lower cost than any comparable method developed so far. The study, published in the journal Nature Energy reports that the process converts polystyrene into jet-fuel-range cycloalkanes with a yield of 94.8 per cent under low-pressure conditions, outperforming previous approaches that required high-pressure batch reactors and reaction times of up to 144 hours.

At a bus stop in a midsummer European city, heat does not arrive as a single spike. People wait in that trapped heat, often without shade or airflow, relying on nothing more than chance positioning or a passing breeze.

Scientists once thought it would take centuries for animals to return to reforested land. New research says otherwise

DRDO announced that it is hiring for 33 positions, but the salary details quickly became the focal point of discussion online. Senior journalist and founder Shekhar Gupta commented, 'Just look at these salaries. A scientist after 11 years gets basic pay of Rs 1,23,000. With DA, allowances might reach Rs 2 lakh or thereabouts.'

Quantum technologies are often associated with extraordinary complexity. The states that give quantum devices their potential advantage are notoriously difficult to create, maintain, and control.

Deep beneath the bustling, traffic-choked streets of Naples, a physics-based technique revealed a feature not previously detected by conventional archaeological methods. Scientists have found a secret burial chamber reported at about ten metres below the surface using an advanced imaging technique based on cosmic rays.

Scientists have been given a rare glimpse into Neolithic social life from a prehistoric cemetery in northern France, where scientists reconstructed a giant family tree that spans seven generations. Experts have used ancient DNA and an archaeological find to reconstruct a detailed family network of 64 people who lived nearly 7,000 years ago.
