Phys.org / Identifying corrosion initiation sites in aluminum alloys
Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a new technique to identify the initiation sites of a destructive process called pitting corrosion, which occurs when aluminum (Al) alloys are exposed to sodium chloride solutions. ...
Medical Xpress / New data resource reveals sleep challenges in children with autism
The Simons Sleep Project (SSP) is a new open-science resource for studying sleep in children with autism. Led by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev scientist Prof. Ilan Dinstein, the new data resource will accelerate research ...
Phys.org / Unlocking genetic code of crop-damaging fungus paves way for better disease control
Researchers from CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, have unlocked the most detailed genetic blueprint yet of a major soil-borne crop pathogen—an advance that paves the way for better crop disease management in ...
Medical Xpress / Body's internal clock shapes stroke severity and treatment response, finds study
A study led by scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Carlos III (CNIC) demonstrates that stroke severity depends on the time of day the event occurs. The research shows that neutrophils—the most abundant ...
Phys.org / Solar flares triggered by cascading magnetic avalanches, new observations reveal
Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft has discovered that a solar flare is triggered by initially weak disturbances that quickly become ...
Phys.org / Q&A: How AI changes NASA's search for life in outer space
Alicja Ostrowska's doctoral thesis "Life and AI at NASA" examines how artificial intelligence is transforming the way science is conducted within some of the world's most ambitious space projects. The study investigates how ...
Phys.org / Rare Florida scrub millipedes reproduce in captivity for the first time
Before scientists even knew how many Florida scrub millipedes were left in the wild, a quiet breakthrough happened in a University of South Florida lab. The rare, giant millipedes reproduced in captivity.
Medical Xpress / Surgery unnecessary for elbow fractures in children, new study finds
Researchers in Liverpool and Oxford have found that surgery for a common elbow fracture in children offers no clinical benefit compared to non-surgical care. The findings could have significant implications for treatment ...
Tech Xplore / Why AI has not led to mass unemployment
People have become used to living with AI fairly quickly. ChatGPT is barely three years old, but has changed the way many of us communicate or deal with large amounts of information.
Phys.org / New NASA Artemis payloads to study moon's terrain, radiation, history
NASA announced Tuesday the selection of three new science investigations that will strengthen humanity's understanding and exploration of the moon. As part of the agency's CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative ...
Medical Xpress / Religion/spirituality may protect against depression among young adult online gamers
Internet use is part of daily life for many people in work, social interaction, entertainment, shopping, and many other activities. Many people engage in online gaming to facilitate social connection, though the activity ...
Phys.org / Silver nanoparticle size influences light interaction, finds study
The interaction of silver materials with light is well-known as the basis of film photography. But, there are much more sophisticated interactions when we consider very, very small particles of silver that could have applications ...
