Phys.org / A new method to build more energy-efficient memory devices could lead to a sustainable data future
A research team led by Kyushu University has developed a new fabrication method for energy-efficient magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) using a new material called thulium iron garnet (TmIG) that has been attracting global ...
Tech Xplore / 'Chinese lantern' structure shifts into more than a dozen shapes for various applications
Researchers have created a polymer "Chinese lantern" that can snap into more than a dozen curved, three-dimensional shapes by compressing or twisting the original structure. This rapid shape-shifting behavior can be controlled ...
Phys.org / Hot gaseous outflow detected in the galaxy NGC 5746
Using ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, astronomers have conducted deep observations of a massive galaxy known as NGC 5746. As a result, they detected a hot gaseous outflow in the galaxy. The new findings, presented Oct. 1 on the ...
Medical Xpress / Schizophrenia is linked to iron and myelin deficits in the brain, neuroimaging study finds
Schizophrenia is a severe and debilitating psychiatric disorder characterized by hallucinations, disorganized speech and thought patterns, false beliefs about the world or oneself, difficulties concentrating and other symptoms ...
Tech Xplore / Light-controlled electron gas hints at future of ultra-fast electronics
In the future, could our mobile phones and internet data operate using light rather than just electricity? Now, for the first time, an international research team led by CNRS researchers working at the Albert Fert Laboratory ...
Phys.org / Calm deer learn faster: How insights into individual temperament can help handlers perform health checks
Training animals in captivity is extraordinarily challenging due to a host of factors such as an animal's natural temperament and prior negative experiences with humans. But it is often essential in places like zoos and conservation ...
Tech Xplore / Novel alloy withstands extreme conditions, could replace metals used in aircraft engines and gas turbines
A new material might contribute to a reduction of the fossil fuels consumed by aircraft engines and gas turbines in the future. A research team from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has developed a refractory metal-based ...
Phys.org / Sped-up evolution may help bacteria take hold in gut microbiome
Everywhere you go, you carry a population of microbes in your gastrointestinal tract that outnumber the human cells making up your body.
Phys.org / She saw a car-sized object above a Texas farm and found a wayward hunk of NASA equipment
When Ann Walter looked outside her rural West Texas home, she didn't know what to make of the bulky object slowly drifting across the sky.
Phys.org / Image of two black holes circling each other captured for the first time
For the first time, astronomers have managed to capture a radio image showing two black holes orbiting each other. The observation confirmed the existence of black hole pairs. In the past, astronomers have only managed to ...
Phys.org / World's most sensitive table-top experiment sets new limits on very high-frequency gravitational waves
The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors like LIGO—has completed its first science run.
Phys.org / Fire provides long-lasting benefits to bird populations in Sierra Nevada National Parks
Researchers have found that low to moderate-severity fires not only benefit many bird species in the Sierra Nevada, but these benefits may persist for decades. In addition to a handful of bird species already known to be ...
