Scientific Reports — Impact of device scaling on the electrical properties of MoS2 field-effect transistors.
Regional authorities in Brazil on Monday declared a state of emergency as the Pantanal, the world’s largest tropical wetlands, faces “out of control fires,” according to a decree.
The surge of fires before the peak of the dry season has raised alarm for the Pantanal, which extends into Bolivia and Paraguay and is home to a rich array of wildlife, including the world’s highest density of jaguars.
The six-month state of emergency was declared by the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, home to much of the wetlands in Brazil.
This register-based, case-control, follow-up study explores long-term mortality, recovery, and vocational status after a maternal stroke:
Background and Objectives.
The lunar material touched down in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region early Tuesday morning (June 25).
That was five decades ago. Catapult yourself to today and ask this question: What’s the U.S. Navy’s Gerald R. Ford nuclear aircraft carrier got to do with the moon?
Late last year, General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems filed a final report to the Air Force Office of Scientific Research’s (AFOSR). That report was titled “Lunar Electromagnetic Launch for Resource Exploitation to Enhance National Security and Economic Growth.”
The author of that appraisal is Robert Peterkin, director of operations for the organization’s Albuquerque, New Mexico office.
D.C. police will start using drones to respond alongside officers to some calls, including barricade situations and large-scale public gatherings, bolstering a broader government effort that has increased video surveillance of the District.

BOSTON — There currently is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, but scientists may have discovered a potential path to slow or stop the disease. Parkinson’s disease is a brain disorder that can cause movement problems such as tremors, poor balance, and walking difficulties, and it can also impair cognitive function. There is no cure and treatments aim to simply reduce symptoms. But a new study in mice by researchers at Johns Hopkins offers new hope. They found that the interaction of two proteins is key to the buildup of protein clumps in the brain that damage healthy brain cells in Parkinson’s. They also suggest that disrupting these proteins with a drug already approved by the FDA to treat cancer could potentially slow or stop the brain damage associated with Parkinson’s. The next step would be to conduct clinical trials in humans, but that will take time.
Article 39 Why an electron does not fall into the nucleus in terms of the strong and weak nuclear forces.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
It can be shown one may able to derive the strong and weak nuclear forces and the internal geometry of protons and neutrons in terms of the orientation of…
Electrons in the atom do enter the nucleus. In fact, electrons in the s states tend to peak at the nucleus. Electrons are not little balls that can fall into the nucleus under electrostatic attraction. Rather, electrons are quantized wavefunctions that spread out in space and can sometimes act like particles in limited ways. An electron in an atom spreads out according to its energy. The states with more energy are more spread out. All electron states overlap with the nucleus, so the concept of an electron “falling into” or “entering” the nucleus does not really make sense. Electrons are always partially in the nucleus.
Researchers develop flexible metasurfaces using industrial knitting techniques, potentially revolutionizing portable antennas and electromagnetic devices for communications and sensing.
