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 / 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 / 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 / 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 ...
Medical Xpress / Digital transformation of food retail is reshaping food access for consumers
A research report published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior examines how the rapid digitalization of the retail food environment is reshaping food access in the United States and highlights implications ...
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 / Red dwarf stars might starve alien plants of the 'quality' light they need to breathe
Red dwarfs make up the vast majority of stars in the galaxy. Such ubiquity means they host the majority of rocky exoplanets we've found so far—which in turn makes them interesting for astrobiological surveys. However, there's ...
Medical Xpress / Latest treatments help ease essential tremor symptoms
About a decade ago, Joan Riggs, a 64-year-old from Lemoyne, started to have shaky hands. At first, it was an annoyance. However, as the tremors worsened, they kept her from doing the activities she enjoyed most.
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 ...
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 ...
