Phys.org / Strontium optical lattice clock exhibits record-high coherence time
Optical lattice clocks are emerging timekeeping devices based on tens of thousands of ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice (i.e., a grid of laser light). By oscillating between two distinct quantum states at a particular ...
Medical Xpress / Epigenetic shifts link maternal infection during pregnancy to higher risk of offspring developing schizophrenia
The health of mothers during pregnancy has long been known to play a role in the lifelong mental and physical health of offspring. Recent studies have found that contracting an infection during pregnancy can increase the ...
Phys.org / Repetitive negative thinking mediates relationship between self-esteem and burnout in students, study finds
When people are highly stressed for prolonged periods of time, they can sometimes experience a state known as burnout, characterized by pronounced emotional, mental and physical exhaustion. The stressors leading to burnout ...
Medical Xpress / Diabetes drugs show promise for treatment of alcohol use disorder
The excessive and uncontrolled consumption of alcohol, which can culminate in the development of alcohol use disorder or alcoholism, is widespread in many countries worldwide. Individuals diagnosed with alcohol use disorder ...
Tech Xplore / Densifying argyrodite could prevent dendrite formation in all-solid-state batteries
All-solid-state batteries are emerging energy storage solutions in which flammable liquid electrolytes are substituted by solid materials that conduct lithium ions. In addition to being safer than lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) ...
Medical Xpress / Early intake of the antidepressant fluoxetine alters brain development in rats, study finds
Past neuroscience studies have consistently showed the profound effects of early life experiences on the brain's wiring, particularly on the formation of the junctions that enable communication between neurons (i.e., synapses). ...
Phys.org / Floquet Chern insulators based on nonlinear photonic crystals achieved
Over the past few years, engineers and material scientists have been trying to devise new optical systems in which light particles (i.e., photons) can move freely and in useful ways, irrespective of defects and imperfections. ...
Medical Xpress / Experiment explores contribution of neural, epigenetic and behavioral factors to autism spectrum disorder
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is estimated to be experienced by roughly 1 in 127 people worldwide. It is characterized by atypical patterns in brain development, which manifest in differences ...
Medical Xpress / Most effective digital interventions to stop smoking identified
Smoking remains one of the most deleterious habits for human health, as it is known to increase the risk of several life-threatening diseases, including lung and throat cancers, heart disease and strokes. While most smokers ...
Phys.org / Key steps towards the realization of a high-precision optical clock based on Ni¹²⁺
Optical clocks are highly precise timekeeping devices that measure time by tracking the oscillations of light, as opposed to microwaves, like conventional atomic clocks. The accuracy of these clocks heavily depends on the ...
Phys.org / Collective Bloch oscillations observed in 1D Bose gas system
Bloch oscillations are periodic oscillations of quantum particles in a repeating energy "landscape" (e.g., a crystal lattice) that are subjected to a constant force. These particle motions have been the focus of numerous ...
Medical Xpress / PA-915 molecule shows long-lasting antidepressant effects without common side effects in mice
Depression and anxiety disorders are among the most widespread mental health disorders, with estimates suggesting that they affect around 264 million and 284 million people worldwide, respectively. Depression is a mood disorder ...
Phys.org / Physicists realize time-varying strong coupling in a magnonic system
Time-varying systems, materials with properties that change over time, have opened new possibilities for the experimental manipulation of waves. Contrarily to static systems, which exhibit the same properties over time, these ...
Phys.org / 3D particle-in-cell simulations demonstrate first true steady state in turbulent plasma
Plasma is a state of matter that emerges when a gas is heated to sufficiently high temperatures, prompting some electrons to become free from atoms. This state of matter has been the focus of many astrophysical studies, as ...
Medical Xpress / Theoretical model uses neuroimaging data to link brain alterations to schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental health disorder characterized by hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking and atypical movement or speech patterns. This psychiatric condition can be highly debilitating, and diagnosed ...
