Doing business internationally increases the gender pay gap
Story source: Imperial College Companies that do business across multiple time zones have a greater gap in pay between men and women than companies that don’t The gender wage gap persists across the globe, even if the latest news from the UK Office for
Physicists use nanostructures to free photons for highly efficient white OLEDs
Since light-emitting diodes only produce monochrome light, manufacturers use various additive colour-mixing processes to produce white light. Since the first development of white OLEDs in the 1990s, numerous efforts have been made to achieve a balanced white spectrum and high luminous
Sheaths drive powerful new artificial muscles
Over the last 15 years, researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas and their international colleagues have invented several types of strong, powerful artificial muscles using materials ranging from high-tech carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to ordinary fishing line. In a new
Artificial intelligence can diagnose PTSD by analyzing voices
A specially designed computer program can help diagnose post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans by analyzing their voices, a new study finds. Published online April 22 in the journal Depression and Anxiety, the study found that an artificial intelligence tool can distinguish
Robot-ants that can jump, communicate with each other and work together
Individually, ants have only so much strength and intelligence. However, as a colony, they can use complex strategies to complete sophisticated tasks and evade larger predators. At EPFL, robotics researchers in Professor Jamie Paik's Laboratory have reproduced this phenomenon, developing tiny
Artificial photosynthesis transforms carbon dioxide into liquefiable fuels
Chemists at the University of Illinois have successfully produced fuels using water, carbon dioxide and visible light through artificial photosynthesis. By converting carbon dioxide into more complex molecules like propane, green energy technology is now one step closer to using
Discovery of a ‘holy grail’ with the invention of universal computer memory
A new type of computer memory which could solve the digital technology energy crisis has been invented and patented by scientists from Lancaster University in the UK. The electronic memory device -- described in research published in Scientific Reports -- promises to transform
Quantum chemistry on quantum computers
Quantum computing and quantum information processing technology have attracted attention in recently emerging fields. Among many important and fundamental issues in nowadays science, solving Schroedinger Equation (SE) of atoms and molecules is one of the ultimate goals in chemistry, physics
