Phys.org / 'Superconducting dome' hints at high-temperature superconductivity in thin nickelate films
Superconductivity is a quantum state of matter characterized by an electrical resistance of zero and the expulsion of magnetic fields at low temperatures below a critical point. Superconductors, materials in which this state ...
Phys.org / V615 Vul shows rare hybrid nova signature after rapid two-day rise
Italian astronomers have performed extensive spectroscopic monitoring of a recently discovered nova known as Vulpeculae 2024, also known as V615 Vul. Results of the new observations, presented in a paper published in the ...
Phys.org / Plant mitochondria actively pull oxygen from chloroplasts, researchers discover
A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant mitochondria draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts, an interaction not previously documented. The discovery sheds new light on how plants regulate oxygen ...
Phys.org / DART images reveal asteroids can toss slow 'cosmic snowballs' between moons
About 15% of asteroids near Earth have small moons orbiting them, making binary asteroid systems common in our cosmic neighborhood.
Medical Xpress / The 'Golden Hour': Distance and delay define rural trauma care timelines
Billings Clinic investigators tracked trauma patients arriving directly from the scene versus patients transferred between facilities and found much longer times to reach the tertiary center for transfers, while adjusted ...
Phys.org / Mixed-flower Australian honey packs a stronger anti-microbial punch
Honeybees collecting nectar from a "buffet" of Australian native plants made honey with anti-microbial abilities that is more potent than "single origin" honey made from only one source of plant or flower, a University of ...
Phys.org / Can we grow life on Mars? Experiments show potential in simulated extraterrestrial soil
Life's capacity to survive in simulated lunar and Martian soils has been explored in two papers published in Scientific Reports. Treating simulated lunar soil with both symbiotic fungi and worm-produced compost can significantly ...
Tech Xplore / Hybrid 'super foam' uses 3D-printed struts to absorb up to 10 times more energy
Aerospace engineering and materials science researchers at Texas A&M University and the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory have developed a "super foam" that can absorb up to 10 times more energy than conventional padding.
Phys.org / Large AI models can speed catalyst discovery by predicting performance before synthesis
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way scientists discover and design new materials. In a specially invited review published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Tohoku University researchers highlight ...
Phys.org / Study reveals new technique to identify individual night-flying birds for the first time
Millions of birds invisibly migrate through the night sky each autumn, most flying in near silence toward their wintering grounds. Now, scientists have developed a way to see and identify many of those birds for the first ...
Medical Xpress / A potential broad coronavirus drug target: Blocking tRNA-modifying enzymes slows viral proteins
Coronaviruses not only use the machinery of the human cells they infect: they modify them to achieve optimal conditions to produce viral proteins and thus spread more quickly. This is the main conclusion of a study by Pompeu ...
Medical Xpress / Transplanted neural stem cells help preserve vision in retinal degeneration
Cedars-Sinai investigators working to optimize a cell-based treatment for retinitis pigmentosa have uncovered how transplanted neural stem cells interact with host retinal cells to preserve vision. The findings, published ...
