Phys.org / Astronomers detect lowest mass dark object ever measured using gravitational lensing
Dark matter is an enigmatic form of matter not expected to emit light, yet it is essential to understanding how the rich tapestry of stars and galaxies we see in the night sky evolved. As a fundamental building block of the ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists create world's first chip that combines 2D materials with conventional silicon circuitry
For the first time, scientists have created a fully functional memory chip only a few atoms thick and integrated it into conventional chips. This advance could pave the way for more powerful and energy-efficient electronic ...
Phys.org / From toilet cleaners to tail-tugging—new study reveals complex social behaviors of naked mole-rats
Naked mole-rats are one of the rare examples of eusocial mammals. Eusocial animal species are those in which a single female within the group is tasked with reproduction, along with a select group of males, while the rest ...
Phys.org / Fire provides long-lasting benefits to bird populations in Sierra Nevada National Parks
Researchers have found that low to moderate-severity fires not only benefit many bird species in the Sierra Nevada, but these benefits may persist for decades. In addition to a handful of bird species already known to be ...
Medical Xpress / Restless leg syndrome's connection to Parkinson's disease
Three research hospitals in the Republic of Korea are reporting that restless leg syndrome was associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease, with 1.6% of patients with restless leg syndrome developing Parkinson's ...
Phys.org / Parched soils can spark hot drought a nation away
Dry soils in northern Mexico may trigger episodes of simultaneous drought and heat wave hundreds of miles away in the southwestern United States, such as Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, according to a new study. These "hot ...
Phys.org / Calm deer learn faster: How insights into individual temperament can help handlers perform health checks
Training animals in captivity is extraordinarily challenging due to a host of factors such as an animal's natural temperament and prior negative experiences with humans. But it is often essential in places like zoos and conservation ...
Phys.org / Simulations unveil the electrodynamic nature of black hole mergers and other spacetime collisions
Gravitational waves are energy-carrying waves produced by the acceleration or disturbance of massive objects. These waves, which were first directly observed in 2015, are known to be produced during various cosmological phenomena, ...
Phys.org / Sped-up evolution may help bacteria take hold in gut microbiome
Everywhere you go, you carry a population of microbes in your gastrointestinal tract that outnumber the human cells making up your body.
Medical Xpress / Portable device could help scientists track Alzheimer's disease as it unfolds in real time
A team of researchers from Concordia University and McGill University has developed a "lab-on-a-chip" device that models how Alzheimer's disease advances in the brain.
Phys.org / Hot gaseous outflow detected in the galaxy NGC 5746
Using ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, astronomers have conducted deep observations of a massive galaxy known as NGC 5746. As a result, they detected a hot gaseous outflow in the galaxy. The new findings, presented Oct. 1 on the ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental drug findings pave way for clinical trial to target cancer's elusive growth switch
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and Vividion Therapeutics have identified chemical compounds that can precisely block the interaction between the major cancer-driving gene RAS and a key pathway for tumor growth.
