Phys.org / New microscopy technique preserves the cell's natural conditions
Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy technique capable of improving the observation of living cells. The study, published in Optics Letters, ...
Medical Xpress / Parenthood 'inoculates' adults against disgust, new study reveals
From diaper changes to nursing care, exposure to unpleasant substances is a daily reality for millions of people, but how does the brain adapt? New research from neuroscientists at the University of Bristol reveals that repeated, ...
Phys.org / Hidden magma oceans could shield rocky exoplanets from harmful radiation
Deep beneath the surface of distant exoplanets known as super-Earths, oceans of molten rock may be doing something extraordinary: powering magnetic fields strong enough to shield entire planets from dangerous cosmic radiation ...
Phys.org / New spectroscopic method reveals ion's complex nuclear structure
Different atoms and ions possess characteristic energy levels. Like a fingerprint, they are unique for each species. Among them, the atomic ion 173Yb+ has attracted growing interest because of its particularly rich energy ...
Phys.org / Do-it-yourself ammonia production: Renewable-powered system uses calcium to reduce emissions and scale for farmers
The last time you scrubbed a streaky window or polished a porcelain appliance, you probably used a chemical called ammonia.
Tech Xplore / Sub-zero green freezer achieves zero emissions
Researchers at the School of Engineering of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed the world's first sub-zero Celsius elastocaloric freezing device, capable of reaching temperatures as low ...
Phys.org / Utah's other Great Salt Lake is underground, ancient, deep....and fresh
Under the Great Salt Lake playa lies a potentially vast reservoir of pressurized freshwater that has accumulated over thousands of years from mountain-derived snowmelt, according to new research from University of Utah geoscientists. ...
Phys.org / Efficient cooling method could enable chip-based quantum computers
Quantum computers could rapidly solve complex problems that would take the most powerful classical supercomputers decades to unravel. But they'll need to be large and stable enough to efficiently perform operations. To meet ...
Phys.org / Comprehensive map reveals how E3 ligases organize protein cleanup in human cells
Maintaining cellular order is a major logistical challenge: Individual mammalian cells contain billions of protein molecules, which must be synthesized, deployed, and removed with precision. In the ubiquitin-proteasome system ...
Phys.org / How small mammals shrink their brains to survive the cold
An international team of researchers, with the involvement of the UAB, has conducted a study that explains the evolutionary origins of the Dehnel phenomenon, a unique seasonal adaptation in small mammals that involves the ...
Phys.org / How prolonged maternal care in horses builds better brains and improves social skills
As with humans, the maternal bond in nature is important for animals to find their way in the world. In mammals, a mother does not just provide milk; she also teaches her offspring survival skills and how to play well with ...
Phys.org / Tiny earthquakes reveal hidden faults under Northern California
By tracking swarms of very small earthquakes, seismologists are getting a new picture of the complex region where the San Andreas fault meets the Cascadia subduction zone, an area that could give rise to devastating major ...
