Phys.org / Ultrafast microscopy sheds light on metallic nanoframe behavior
Argonne and Northwestern University scientists teamed up to understand how light interacts with metallic nanoframes, with implications for biosensing, quantum information science and beyond.
Medical Xpress / UK government recommends maximum two hours of screen time for younger children: What the evidence says
New UK government guidance recommends that screen time for children under two should be avoided, except for shared activities such as video calls. For children aged two to five, a maximum of an hour a day is suggested. The ...
Phys.org / The Big Bee Project brings natural history collections into the 21st century
Museum collections have underpinned scientific research for centuries. But physical specimens in boxes and drawers don't easily lend themselves to the research techniques of the new millennium. "How can we apply these techniques ...
Phys.org / How lifetime stress drives abnormal behaviors in lab monkeys
It is not unusual for laboratory monkeys to engage in abnormal repetitive behaviors (ARBs), such as pacing and hair-plucking. Conventional thinking is that these actions are linked to recent stresses or current housing conditions. ...
Phys.org / New technique reveals body-wide cellular processes
Understanding gene expression within the body has been a boon for 21st century biology and therapeutics, but most discoveries that use these technologies only focus on one organ or one small area of tissue. At the University ...
Phys.org / JWST solves decades-long mystery about why Saturn appears to change its spin
Researchers at Northumbria University have used the most powerful space telescope ever built to answer one of the longest-standing puzzles in planetary science—why does Saturn appear to spin at a different speed depending ...
Phys.org / Some ticks can survive from 1 to 3 weeks on home flooring
It's fairly common for members of the public to ask bug experts if ticks that hitchhike into a house on people or dogs can actually survive indoors for any length of time. A new study provides the first scientific evidence ...
Phys.org / Major volcanic eruptions might be driven by gas dissolving back into magma
Understanding what triggers large volcanic eruptions is crucial for hazard assessment, but the exact mechanism driving these eruptions is still poorly understood. The prevailing theory is that volatile exsolution—gas coming ...
Phys.org / Scientists testing new scanning technology discover mysterious structure beneath an ancient Egyptian city
Archaeologists working in Egypt's Nile Delta may have discovered a tomb or temple dating back around 2,600 years while testing a new technology designed to locate structures buried deep beneath the surface. The team was studying ...
Phys.org / Physicists create laser tornado in miniature structures using synthetic magnetic field
Can light behave like a whirlwind? It turns out it can—and such "optical tornadoes" have now been created in an extremely small structure by scientists from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw, the Military ...
Phys.org / Microwave carrots, air-fry tomatoes: Researchers identify sustainable cooking methods for better nutrition
Researchers at the University of Seville's Food Color and Quality Laboratory have studied the effects of different cooking methods used for tomatoes and carrots (in the oven, microwave or air fryer, among others) on the amount ...
Phys.org / He suddenly couldn't speak in space. NASA astronaut says his medical scare remains a mystery
The astronaut who prompted NASA's first medical evacuation earlier this year said Friday that doctors still don't know why he suddenly fell sick at the International Space Station.
