Designing tiny filters to solve big problems
Designing tiny filters to solve big problems For many industrial processes, the typical way to separate gases, liquids, or ions is with heat, using slight differences in boiling points to purify mixtures. These thermal processes account for roughly 10 percent of the energy use in the United ...
Study suggests how the brain, with sleep, learns meaningful maps of spaces
Study suggests how the brain, with sleep, learns meaningful maps of spaces On the first day of your vacation in a new city, your explorations expose you to innumerable individual places. While the memories of these spots (like a beautiful garden on a quiet side street) feel immediately indelible, it might be ...
