Phys.org / 'Walking' water discovery on 2D material could lead to better anti-icing coatings and energy materials
A surprising discovery about how water behaves on one of the world's thinnest 2D materials could lead to major technological improvements, from better anti-icing coatings for aircraft and self-cleaning solar panels to next-generation ...
Tech Xplore / Employing low-frequency noise can help electric vehicles stand out in busy environments
One of the many benefits of electric vehicles is that they are much quieter than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. In some cases, though, they are too quiet. Automakers are required to design their vehicles so they emit ...
Phys.org / 'Baby boom' of Bonelli's eagles during COVID lockdown unmasks impact of human activity
Thanks to more than three decades of monitoring, researchers at the University of Granada reveal how human absence during the pandemic impacted the reproduction of a threatened species: the Bonelli's eagle
Phys.org / Death and devastation: Why a rare equatorial cyclone and other storms have hit southern Asia so hard
More than 900 people are dead, thousands more missing and millions affected by a band of cyclones and extreme monsoonal weather across southern Asia. Torrential rain has triggered the worst flooding in decades, accompanied ...
Phys.org / Noise-proof quantum sensor uses three calcium ions held in place by electric fields
Researchers at the University of Innsbruck have shown that quantum sensors can remain highly accurate even in extremely noisy conditions. It's the first experimental realization of a powerful quantum sensing protocol, outperforming ...
Phys.org / How to watch the last supermoon of the year
The last supermoon of the year will shine soon in December skies.
Tech Xplore / Small changes make some AI systems more brain-like than others
Artificial intelligence systems that are designed with a biologically inspired architecture can simulate human brain activity before ever being trained on any data, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University.
Medical Xpress / Compounded imiquimod ointment may be beneficial for some ocular surface cancers
Compounded imiquimod 5% ointment may be safe and effective for diffuse conjunctival melanoma in situ (MIS) or ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN), according to a case series study published online Nov. 26 in JAMA Ophthalmology.
Phys.org / Factory farming in Africa: Development banks see it as a good idea, but it's bad for the climate
In sub-Saharan Africa, pastoral livestock farming—where cattle, goats and sheep roam freely across grasslands, grazing at will—has been the main form of livestock production. It has been a source of livelihoods for centuries, ...
Tech Xplore / Advances in spacecraft control: New algorithm guarantees precision under extreme disturbances
An international team of researchers has unveiled a spacecraft attitude control system that can guarantee precise stabilization and maneuvering within a predefined time, even under extreme and unpredictable space disturbances.
Medical Xpress / A molecule opens a breach in HIV, providing access to its reservoirs
An international team led by two Université de Montréal researchers has unveiled how a molecule capable of opening the "shell" of HIV improves the elimination of infected cells.
Medical Xpress / Telehealth boomed during COVID, but in some areas, its promise fell short
While telehealth use surged during the COVID-19 pandemic, some U.S. counties struggled to use resources efficiently, revealing widespread misallocation of health care infrastructure, workforce and technology, according to ...
