Medical Xpress / A hands-on approach to distance medicine
Dr. Pijuan Yu sits at his lab station, focused on the task at hand. He is feeling for a lump. The glass wall to his right reveals other students and researchers as they pass, but his attention remains steady. Two rubbery ...
Phys.org / Never-before-seen woven structure that forms naturally inside a crystal discovered
For the first time, scientists have observed a three-dimensional woven structure forming naturally inside a crystal, revealing a previously unknown way in which matter can organize itself.
Phys.org / Checking out AI: University library puts emerging technology to the test
In a meeting room at the C. V. Starr East Asian Library, a Chinese film poster flickers onto a large screen. Haiqing Lin, the library's head of technical services, is demonstrating an interface he built. With a few practiced ...
Phys.org / Repurposing deep-Earth tools in the hunt for practical superconductors
If scientists could find a material that acts as a superconductor—that is, one that transmits energy with zero resistance—at normal pressures and relatively high temperatures, it would open up a vast number of possibilities. ...
Phys.org / Electric field reverses phonon chirality and spin direction in ferroelectric crystal
Chiral phonons are groups of atoms that move in a circular direction when excited by an energy source, such as heat. As the phonons move through a material, they propagate that circular motion, or angular momentum, through ...
Medical Xpress / Signaling pathway may explain how transition from milk to solid food shapes immune system development
The early period of life is a critical phase in which the immune system must learn to tolerate harmless environmental stimuli, such as food and microbes that normally live in and on the body, while remaining vigilant against ...
Phys.org / Mechanical recycling contamination risks the circular plastics economy, but quality control analytics can help
A study from the University of Manchester into the effects of polymer cross-contamination on the outcome of mechanically recycling plastics has found that the presence of contaminants radically alters degradation mechanisms.
Tech Xplore / New strategy for designing ultra-fast charging batteries could prevent hazardous lithium plating
The rapid progress in electric vehicles and high-power electronics has increased the demand for ultra-fast-charging lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. However, during fast charging, current Li-ion rechargeable batteries suffer ...
Phys.org / Indigenous territory maintains ecological stability amid agricultural expansion in the Brazilian savanna
"An island of biodiversity in a sea of monoculture": This is how a recent study characterized the Pimentel Barbosa Indigenous Territory (TIPB), located in the northeastern part of Mato Grosso state in Brazil's Central-West ...
Medical Xpress / Rat study finds early secondhand smoke exposure can alter tooth enamel mineralization
Exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke during the first days of life can cause changes in tooth enamel mineralization without causing visible changes to the teeth. This was demonstrated in an animal model study conducted ...
Phys.org / Photonic time crystals unlock ultrafast control of light in the terahertz range
An international team of researchers from École Polytechnique, Collège de France and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has achieved a world first: the experimental realization of an all-optical photonic time crystal ...
Phys.org / Scientists have found a new way molecules can cooperate at room temperature
What if glowing molecules could synchronize, much like fireflies flashing in unison? Researchers have discovered that molecules confined within tiny gold nanostructures can behave collectively, coordinating their interactions ...
