Phys.org / Nickelate superconductors share a common electronic fingerprint
Superconductors, materials that conduct electricity with zero electrical resistance at specific temperature ranges, have proved very promising for the development of quantum computers and other cutting-edge technologies. ...
Medical Xpress / Using patient-derived research models to study deadly DNA loops
Damage to DNA in cancer cells can lead to pieces breaking off chromosomes and floating away, like icebergs cracking off a glacier. Just as icebergs are a threat to ships and their crew, these scattered bits of DNA loom large ...
Medical Xpress / Why one diabetes drug may sharply cut heart failure risk for genetically vulnerable patients
Rare genetic variants known to cause cardiomyopathy, an inherited cause of a weak heart, can increase the risk of patients developing heart failure. However, new research from Mass General Brigham Heart and Vascular Institute ...
Phys.org / Superheated magma may explain why similar volcanoes erupt in very different ways
Scientists have shed light on a thermal process in magma that may help explain why similar volcanic systems can produce very different eruptive behaviors.
Tech Xplore / A low-tech solution to the 6G problem—metacrystal panels offer cheap way to guide wireless signals around corners
Basements, tunnels, large buildings—a weak Wi-Fi or mobile signal in these hard-to-reach places is frustrating. The usual solution is to add more electronics like routers, repeaters and base stations. Yet, as we move towards ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers use new machine learning method to detect self-harm history hidden in veterans' medical records
Important mental health history is often present in medical records but hard to find, especially when it is missing from the diagnosis codes that clinicians, researchers, and health systems use to search for and count conditions.
Medical Xpress / Defective HIV copies explain most persistent traces in blood following treatment, study finds
Antiretroviral drugs for HIV infection have enabled most people living with the virus to live long and healthy lives. However, a small portion of people experience detectable—and worrisome—traces of the virus that causes ...
Phys.org / Antibiotics drive resistance in waterways—even after they break down
Antibiotics continue to drive resistance in bacteria, even after they are broken down in wastewater treatment plants and discharged into rivers and seas, new research published on World Oceans Day has shown for the first ...
Phys.org / A 7.8 magnitude quake in the Philippines kills at least 19, fells buildings and sets off a tsunami
An offshore magnitude 7.8 earthquake rocked the southern Philippines Monday, killing at least 19 people, injuring more than 200 others mostly in damaged buildings and sending a 1-meter (3-foot) tsunami into nearby coasts.
Tech Xplore / Apple expected to unveil new AI features at last developers conference with CEO Tim Cook
Apple is expected to unveil new artificial intelligence features at its annual developers conference beginning Monday, which will be the last one featuring CEO Tim Cook before he turns his post over to John Ternus in September.
Phys.org / Atlantic 'cold blob' caused by weakening ocean current system that's likely nearing a tipping point, reanalysis finds
A part of the Atlantic Ocean, just south of Greenland and Iceland, has been cooling off while the rest of the world gets hotter. This enigmatic patch is often referred to as the "cold blob" and scientists have been trying ...
Tech Xplore / Nvidia unveils AI infrastructure deals in South Korea
US chip titan Nvidia on Monday announced a large-scale data center construction project in South Korea with SK Telecom, among a raft of other business deals in the country.
