Published Optofluidic chip with nanopore 'smart gate' developed for single molecule analysis
(via sciencedaily.com) A new chip-based platform integrates nanopores and optofluidic technology with a feedback-control circuit to enable an unprecedented level of control over individual molecules and particles on a chip for high-throughput analysis.
Published New test to snare those lying about a person's identity
(via sciencedaily.com) A new test could help police to determine when criminals or witnesses are lying about their knowledge of a person's identity.
Published Sun's solar wind and plasma 'burps' created on Earth
(via sciencedaily.com) A new study by physicists mimicked solar winds in the lab, confirming how they develop and providing an Earth-bound model for the future study of solar physics.
Published Scientists deepen understanding of magnetic fields surrounding Earth and other planets
(via sciencedaily.com) New research into waves that travel through Earth's magnetosphere deepen our understanding of the region and its interaction with our own planet, and open up new ways to study other planets across the galaxy.
Published Simple 'smart' glass reveals the future of artificial vision
(via sciencedaily.com) Engineers have devised a method to create pieces of 'smart' glass that can recognize images without requiring any sensors or circuits or power sources.
Published Northern lights' 'social networking' reveals true scale of magnetic storms
(via sciencedaily.com) Magnetic disturbances caused by phenomena like the northern lights can be tracked by a 'social network' of ground-based instruments, according to a new study.
Published Rare 'superflares' could one day threaten Earth
(via sciencedaily.com) New research shows that the sun could experience a massive burst of energy called a superflare sometime in the next several thousand years.
Published Scientists discover what powers celestial phenomenon STEVE
(via sciencedaily.com) The celestial phenomenon known as STEVE is likely caused by a combination of heating of charged particles in the atmosphere and energetic electrons like those that power the aurora, according to new research. In a new study, scientists found STEVE's source region in space and identified two mechanisms that cause it.
Published Tiny light-up barcodes identify molecules by their twinkling
(via sciencedaily.com) An imaging technique could make it possible to peer inside cells and watch dozens of different molecules at once -- by labeling them with short strands of light-up DNA that blink on and off with their own unique rhythm. Though they're all the same color, the technique makes it possible to distinguish as many as 56 types by their twinkling, more cheaply than traditional methods and without fading over time.
Published New model accurately predicts harmful space weather
(via sciencedaily.com) A new, first-of-its-kind space weather model reliably predicts space storms of high-energy particles that are harmful to many satellites and spacecraft orbiting in the Earth's outer radiation belt.
Published Pin-sized sensor could bring chemical ID to smartphone-sized devices
(via sciencedaily.com) Engineers have developed a spectrometer so small and simple that it could integrate with the camera of a typical cellphone without sacrificing accuracy.
Published CRISPR-chip enables digital detection of DNA without amplification
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have found multiple applications for the CRISPR gene editing technology since it came into use by the scientific community.
Published Researchers uncover additional evidence for massive solar storms
(via sciencedaily.com) Solar storms can be far more powerful than previously thought. A new study has found evidence for the third known case of a massive solar storm in historical times. The researchers believe that society might not be sufficiently prepared if a similar event were to happen now.
Published Machines whisper our secrets
(via sciencedaily.com) Scientists showed they could reconstruct what a researcher was doing by recording the sounds of the lab instrument used. The method accurately detects what type of DNA a DNA synthesizer is making. That means academic, industrial, and government labs are potentially wide open to espionage that could destabilize research, jeopardize product development, and even put national security at risk.
Published New weapon to combat counterfeit goods: use your smartphone to check for fake merchandise
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have invented a chemical fingerprint that, when used with a phone app, reveals whether a product is genuine or a fake; the fingerprints have been tested and earned a 100 percent success rate.
Published Researchers unveil Internet of Things security feature
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Integrated circuit designers have developed a new approach for creating secure keys and IDs on Internet of Things (IoT).
Published Sensitive sensor detects Down syndrome DNA with blood test during pregnancy
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Down syndrome is the most common birth defect, occurring once in every 700 births. However, traditional noninvasive prenatal tests for the condition are unreliable or carry risks for the mother and fetus. Now, researchers have developed a sensitive new biosensor that could someday be used to detect fetal Down syndrome DNA in pregnant women's blood.
Published Earth's magnetic shield booms like a drum when hit by impulses
(via sciencedaily.com) The Earth's magnetic shield booms like a drum when it is hit by strong impulses, according to new research.
Published Evidence for a new fundamental constant of the sun
(via sciencedaily.com) New research shows that the sun's magnetic waves behave differently than currently believed.
Published To catch a wave, rocket launches from top of world
(via sciencedaily.com) On Jan. 4, 2019, at 4:37 a.m. EST the CAPER-2 mission launched from Norway. The rocket flew through active aurora borealis, or northern lights, to study the waves that accelerate electrons into our atmosphere.
