- New variety of paintbrush lily developed by a...on January 22, 2021 at 5:00 am
(Hokkaido University) Scientists at Hokkaido University and Chiba University have developed simultaneous triploid and hexaploid varieties of Haemanthus albiflos by the application of endosperm culture, thus extending the use of this technique.
- AI trained to read electric vehicle charging...on January 22, 2021 at 5:00 am
(Cell Press) Although electric vehicles that reduce greenhouse gas emissions attract many drivers, the lack of confidence in charging services deters others. Building a reliable network of charging stations is difficult in part because it's challenging to aggregate data from independent station operators. But now, researchers reporting January 22 in the journal Patterns have developed an AI that can analyze user reviews of these stations, allowing it to accurately identify places where there […]
- New technique builds super-hard metals from...on January 22, 2021 at 5:00 am
(Brown University) Brown University researchers have shown a way to make bulk metals by smashing tiny metal nanoparticles together, which allows for customized grain structures and improved mechanical and other properties.
