P. aeruginosa is a highly adaptable bacterium and a major cause of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) or ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) cases, which can lead to further spread of infection, ...

At the heart of every camera is a sensor, whether that sensor is a collection of light-detecting pixels or a strip of 35-millimeter film. But what happens when you want to take a picture of something ...

AUSTIN, Texas — Driving through Austin may soon get a little easier. On Thursday, the Austin City Council could greenlight a nearly $11 million plan to improve vehicle detection at traffic signals, ...

Recent research suggests that humans have a surprising ability—we can sometimes feel a physical object before making contact with it. In a study published this past October in the journal IEEE ...

Researchers played simulated bat echolocation calls in the laboratory and found that egg-bearing A. nigrisigna stopped flying when exposed to high pulse repetition rates. This behavior could be ...

Astronomers have detected a massive object moving in a synchronized path behind Earth. Early measurements suggest it has been trailing the planet longer than previously assumed. Its trajectory does ...

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London and University College London have found that humans can detect objects buried in sand without directly touching them. The discovery challenges the ...

For some, Halloween is starting to rival Christmas for setting up elaborate holiday decorations. Homeowners now spend many hours─and sometimes dollars─creating ghoulish displays of lit pumpkins, ...

Dark matter is believed to make up more than 80 percent of all matter in the universe, but what it actually is remains a mystery. Now, astronomers have found something that gives us a major clue. This ...

Dark matter is an enigmatic form of matter not expected to emit light, yet it is essential to understanding how the rich tapestry of stars and galaxies we see in the night sky evolved. As a ...

Scientists from the Institut Langevin in Paris and TU Wien in Vienna have developed a new technique for detecting hidden objects, such as buried treasure or submarines, using complex acoustical ...

Physicists are exploring a quantum-mechanical approach to making smaller radio wave detectors. Physicists have created a new type of radar that could help improve underground imaging, using a cloud of ...
