Tech Xplore / Carbon shell design curbs shuttle effect in thermal battery cathodes
Transition metal fluorides are widely regarded as promising cathode materials because of their high theoretical voltages and excellent thermal stability. However, in real batteries, these materials tend to dissolve and migrate ...
Medical Xpress / Diabetes costs the global economy trillions, says study
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder and one of the most prevalent non-communicable diseases worldwide. On average, one in ten adults is affected. The number of people living with diabetes continues to rise, ...
Phys.org / Astronomers build molecular cloud atlas for nearby Andromeda galaxy
Astronomers from Cardiff University, UK, have employed the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA) to explore the nearby Andromeda galaxy. Results of the observational campaign, published December ...
Phys.org / North Pacific winter storm tracks shifting poleward much faster than predicted
Alaska's glaciers are melting at an accelerating pace, losing roughly 60 billion tons of ice each year. About 4,000 kilometers to the south, in California and Nevada, records for heat and dryness are being shattered, creating ...
Medical Xpress / 'Unique' AI-powered headset can predict epilepsy seizures
A "unique" AI-powered headset that can predict epileptic seizures minutes before they occur has been developed by scientists in Scotland.
Phys.org / Catching a radical in motion with µSR spectroscopy
Using muon spin rotation spectroscopy, researchers from Japan and Canada have successfully captured the rapid conversion of an imidoyl radical into a quinoxalinyl radical occurring within nanoseconds. The technique enabled ...
Phys.org / 60,000-year-old traces of world's oldest arrow poison reveal early advanced hunting techniques
Researchers from South Africa and Sweden have found the oldest traces of arrow poison in the world to date. On 60,000-year-old quartz arrowheads from Umhlatuzana Rock Shelter in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, researchers have ...
Phys.org / How a biological version of rock-paper-scissors determines if lizard colors are maintained or lost
Two new studies into lizard colors reveal how one species maintains its colorful diversity while others are losing their ancient colors. And the changes are being driven by the biological equivalent of rock-paper-scissors.
Phys.org / Lysosomes in focus: New study reveals how cells keep them intact
When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and damaging the cell. Now, researchers at Umeå University have revealed the molecular sensors that detect ...
Tech Xplore / Did that lamp just fold the laundry? Alumni rethink home robotics
When Aaron Tan began his Ph.D. in mechanical and industrial engineering at the University of Toronto in 2019, leading a robotics startup in Silicon Valley was the furthest thing from his mind.
Phys.org / Study offers possible solution to a gravitational wave mystery
Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder may have solved a pressing mystery about the universe's gravitational wave background.
Phys.org / Uncovering a secret room that a giant virus creates inside its host amoeba
A virus relies on the host's translation machinery to replicate itself and become infectious. Translation efficiency partially depends on the usage of a codon, or sequence of three nucleotides, that matches the cellular pool ...
