Phys.org / Strange radio pulses detected coming from ice in Antarctica
A cosmic particle detector in Antarctica has emitted a series of bizarre signals that defy the current understanding of particle physics, according to an international research group that includes scientists from Penn State. ...
Phys.org / First quantum-mechanical model of quasicrystals reveals why they exist
A rare and bewildering intermediate between crystal and glass can be the most stable arrangement for some combinations of atoms, according to a study from the University of Michigan.
Phys.org / Startups show off ocean-preserving tech at Paris trade fair
Harnessing ocean currents to boost fuel efficiency of vessels, or tracking whales using sensor data and AI—startups at Paris trade fair Vivatech have been showing off the latest innovations aimed at protecting the environment.
Phys.org / Quantum spirals: Programmable platform offers new ways to explore electrons in chiral systems
A new platform for engineering chiral electron pathways offers potential fresh insights into a quantum phenomenon discovered by chemists—and exemplifies how the second quantum revolution is fostering transdisciplinary collaborations ...
Phys.org / Ocean acidification may have crossed 'planetary boundary' five years ago
A team of planetary scientists, ecologists, and marine biologists affiliated with several institutions in the U.S. and one in the U.K., has found evidence suggesting that parts of the world's oceans have already passed what ...
Phys.org / Planet-forming disks lose gas faster than dust, new survey finds
An international team of astronomers including researchers at the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory has unveiled groundbreaking findings about the disks of gas and dust surrounding nearby young stars, using ...
Medical Xpress / Evolutionary model for antibiotic resistance reveals dose timing critical to care
Cleveland Clinic researchers are working to improve the way we use evolutionary modeling to understand drug resistance. The study, published in Science Advances, uses a new type of evolutionary model called a "fitness seascape" ...
Phys.org / Fossil corals point to possibly steeper sea level rise under a warming world
Coastal planners take heed: Newly uncovered evidence from fossil corals found on an island chain in the Indian Ocean suggests that sea levels could rise even more steeply in our warming world than previously thought.
Phys.org / Western standards behind the gender equality paradox, study suggests
Previous research has asserted that women and men in gender-equal countries differ more in their preferences than women and men in less equal countries, for example, by making more traditional educational choices. This relationship ...
Phys.org / 3D-printed device splits white noise into an acoustic rainbow without electricity
In a study published in Science Advances, researchers from Technical University of Denmark and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid demonstrate a new device called an acoustic rainbow emitter (ARE) that takes in broadband white-noise ...
Phys.org / Mysterious boat burial practices on the desert's edge: Study sheds light on ancient Xiaohe funerary rites
The Bronze Age Xiaohe culture (ca. 1950–1400 BCE) is renowned for its distinctive funerary practices and exceptional organic preservation, largely due to its location in a hyperarid environment. Burials feature boat-shaped ...
Medical Xpress / Blocking CD200R1 protein offers new strategy for treatment-resistant blood cancers
Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment by mobilizing the immune system to attack tumor cells. Major advances, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (notably against the PD-1 protein), have produced impressive results ...
