Phys.org / Resilient quantum sensor monitors Earth's magnetic field from space for 10 months
From navigation to solar weather forecasting, many different areas of research require space-based sensors to measure Earth's magnetic field as accurately as possible at any given moment. So far, however, existing sensors ...
Phys.org / How a single star can reshape an entire galaxy
Astronomers who simulate galaxies do not always get the same result, even when they start from identical conditions. New research from Leiden University shows that this is not a flaw, but a consequence of how galaxies behave—and ...
Phys.org / Seismic attenuation techniques reveal what lies beneath Taiwan
As seismic waves travel through Earth, they gradually lose energy, a process called attenuation. That energy loss doesn't happen uniformly—some features in the crust sap far more energy from seismic waves than others. Researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Dementia risk climbs sharply with insulin-requiring diabetes, analysis of 1.3 million shows
Individuals with diabetes are at an increased risk of developing dementia but those with insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes and type 1 diabetes have the greatest risk, according to research presented at the 28th European Congress ...
Phys.org / No more 'just say no'—Canadian schools will soon have a roadmap to address student substance use
The message to students used to be simple: "Just say no." But in today's schools, that message is not only outdated, it may be part of the problem.
Medical Xpress / How does your brain decide between the road not taken or the same old route?
When was the last time you paid attention to your commute? And I don't mean a couple of feet in front of you, at the car merging into your lane without a blinker. I mean really paid attention to the route you take.
Medical Xpress / Telemedicine use grew without boosting medical visits or spending, analysis shows
New UCLA-led research finds that the use of telemedicine has not significantly increased visits and medical spending across all payer types. The findings, published in JAMA Network Open, could ease concerns among lawmakers ...
Tech Xplore / Mosquito antennae inspire low-power acoustic sensor that passively enhances weak signals
Mosquitoes are generally considered a nuisance, if not a deadly, malaria-carrying pest. Despite their peskiness, their delicate antennae—which can identify other insects using vibrations—have inspired ultrasensitive next-generation ...
Phys.org / New research highlights how wildfires are harming fish
As we transition into spring, wildfires are on the minds of many Canadians. In fact, wildfires have already started in some parts of the country.
Medical Xpress / Delta‑8, delta‑9, THCA? What sets the different THC forms available in regulated cannabis products apart
Hemp products have exploded across the United States, even in the majority of states where recreational marijuana remains illegal. This surge came after the 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp from the Controlled Substances Act and ...
Phys.org / The material science behind a spacecraft's impact armor
Aerospace engineers have to consider numerous factors when designing a spacecraft, but one that comes up more and more often is the need to design against micrometeoroids and orbital debris (MMOD). While most designers understand ...
Phys.org / Buried in Sudan's desert, 280 vast stone circles reveal a vanished cattle-herding culture
Recent satellite remote sensing surveys have identified 280 stone structures spread across the Atbai desert in Sudan. Twenty of these structures were previously identified by fieldwork or informal surveys, but were not systematically ...
