Lasers are not only for cutting metal or scanning groceries. They can also carry usable electricity across open air without a single wire.

A U.S. team sent electrical power as laser light across about 5.3 miles and turned it back into electricity…

Mosquito sampling, Wolbachia detection and Illumina sequencing output

Mosquito collections were conducted twice over a two-year interval (2019 and 2021). We sampled 183 female adult Ae. aegypti in five areas of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Fig. 1)….

The complexity involved in acquiring ultrasound images has also limited attempts to automate imaging procedures, despite the potential for automation to both relieve an operator shortage and potentially reduce inter-operator variability. Work…

Electrons in bilayer graphene have been driven faster than their own speed of sound, creating a sharp electronic shockwave. The study shows a controlled, chip-scale way to reach this extreme flow regime.

The team carved a microscopic nozzle into…
