Phys.org / Glimpsing the quantum vacuum: Particle spin correlations offer insight into how visible matter emerges from 'nothing'
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that particles of matter emerging from energetic subatomic smashups retain a key feature of virtual particles ...
Phys.org / Acoustic study reveals deep-diving behavior of elusive beaked whales
Scientists have captured a rare view of one of the ocean's least understood whales—without ever seeing it. By listening to the sounds beaked whales naturally produce, researchers have reconstructed a three-dimensional picture ...
Phys.org / Beyond climate: Connection and mobility were key drivers in early human innovation, research suggests
A new study challenges the idea that climate change drove early human innovation. Instead, researchers find that cultural developments arose under different environmental conditions, shaped by movement, interaction, and knowledge ...
Phys.org / How lipid nanoparticles carrying vaccines release their cargo
A study from FAU has shown that lipid nanoparticles restructure their membrane significantly after being absorbed into a cell and ending up in an acidic environment. Vaccines and other medicines are often packed in little ...
Phys.org / Platinum nanostructure sensor can differentiate mirror-image volatile scent compounds
Terpenes are volatile organic compounds that are responsible for, among other things, the typical scents of plants, resins or citrus fruits. These compounds occur naturally in the environment and influence chemical processes ...
Medical Xpress / Self-regulating living implant could end daily insulin injections
A pioneering study marks a major step toward eliminating the need for daily insulin injections for people with diabetes. The study was led by Assistant Professor Shady Farah of the Faculty of Chemical Engineering at the Technion—Israel ...
Phys.org / Study ties particle pollution from wildfire smoke to 24,100 US deaths per year
Chronic exposure to pollution from wildfires has been linked to tens of thousands of deaths annually in the United States, according to a new study.
Phys.org / Quick test can curb antimicrobial resistance, identifying bacteria and antibiotic susceptibility in under 40 minutes
McGill researchers have developed a diagnostic system capable of identifying bacteria—and determining which antibiotics can stop them—in just 36 minutes, a major advance in the global effort to curb antimicrobial resistance ...
Medical Xpress / Cap-like OLED wearable could prevent hair loss, replacing bulky helmet devices
A new solution that could overcome the limitations of conventional hair-loss treatments is emerging. Heavy and rigid helmet-type phototherapy devices may soon become a thing of the past. A joint research team has developed ...
Medical Xpress / Wearable cameras and AI could provide a clearer picture of what people eat
No single tool can accurately measure people's diets, but new research shows that combining different methods—from wearable cameras to analyzing dietary biomarkers—could be the most reliable picture of what people eat. ...
Medical Xpress / Personalized palliative care shows signs of improving quality of life for children with advanced cancer
How to reduce suffering in children with advanced cancer remains an ongoing but urgent question. A Mass General Brigham-led study has examined whether systematically surveying children with advanced cancer and their parents ...
Medical Xpress / Agent Orange exposure identified as a risk factor for rare skin cancer
A study of U.S. veterans led by investigators at Mass General Brigham has identified a possible link between exposure to the Agent Orange herbicide and a rare melanoma subtype less likely to be related to sun exposure. The ...
