Device can detect fake meat and fish
Meat and fish fraud costs billions of dollars a year and causes problems for people with allergies and religious or cultural reasons to avoid certain meats or fish. The current detection methods are accurate but slow and tedious.
Watch cool research: Antimatter chilled to near absolute zero
Antihydrogen atoms, the simplest form of atomic antimatter, were successfully cooled using laser light.
New panel mount couplers allow high-speed connection through enclosures
The couplers are designed for use with data acquisition, test and measurement, and PC peripheral interconnect applications.
Remotely monitoring nuclear reactor off-gas in real time
The method can help streamline safety assessments for emerging molten salt reactor technology.
Watch: Rapid test measures COVID-19 immunity
The pinprick test accurately measures coronavirus antibody concentrations in blood in under one hour.
Video: Engineered heart valves grow with pediatric patients
Pediatric heart valve replacement surgeries could be reduced after tri-tube valves demonstrated growth in an animal model.
Study: Stay at home orders caused an increase in learning at home
The staggered adoption of nonessential business closures in the U.S. was used to estimate the effects of the pandemic on demand for online learning.
Differentiating local from global sources of plutonium pollution in soil
Such differentiation can help inform decisions concerning nuclear legacies, particularly the clean-up of contaminated land.
