Phys.org / Cold radioactive molecules prepped and readied for physics discoveries
For the first time, researchers have developed a way to create chilled molecules containing the radioactive element radium. The resulting laboratory concoctions, generated in part through steps similar to those used to make ...
Phys.org / A new smart coating could improve the cleanup of nuclear wastewater
Scientists in China have developed a smart coating that could make it easier to remove tritium (a radioactive form of hydrogen) from nuclear power plant wastewater.
Medical Xpress / Aussie supermarkets failing to help us eat a healthier diet
New research presented at this year's International Congress on Obesity (ICO2026), hosted by the World Obesity Federation (WOF) in Mexico City, Mexico (July 15–17), reveals that few of the world's 21 largest food retailers ...
Phys.org / Air from Greenland snow shows industrialization's impact on atmospheric methane
An international team of researchers, including scientists from Utrecht University and the University of Maryland, has reconstructed the concentration of clumped isotopes of methane in air from the past for the first time. ...
Phys.org / Schrödinger‑like charges in six‑molecule clusters point to new quantum components
Researchers from the University of Basel have published details of how electrons within a cluster of molecules interact with one another and can be controlled. Their findings pave the way for new approaches to developing ...
Phys.org / Living alligators expose why juvenile fossils can fool classification methods
Fossil finds are exciting moments that sometimes introduce the world to an ancient mammal or dinosaur that existed millions of years ago. But a longstanding problem in paleontology is that fossils are often incomplete, and ...
Phys.org / Tuberculosis drug discovery gets smarter with AI
When researchers screen potential tuberculosis drugs, they often end up with too many options. Some look promising but later prove to be costly dead ends. "We might get thousands of compounds from a screen and then have to ...
Phys.org / Six massive landslides discovered on icy Pluto
Scientists have detected evidence of landslides on Pluto for the first time. A paper published in the journal Icarus reports that images taken by the New Horizons spacecraft during a flyby revealed six large landslides in ...
Phys.org / South African genomics projects direct 10% of budgets to community-chosen benefits
South Africa is pioneering new ways to embed ethical benefit sharing in genomics research through community-led decision-making. Speaking at the World Congress of Bioethics (WCB) in Johannesburg on 8–10 July, Ngoni Ngwarai, ...
Tech Xplore / Engineers shrink powerful terahertz systems onto a single semiconductor chip
High-frequency waves classified as terahertz occupy a relatively underused region of the electromagnetic spectrum between infrared light and microwaves. Researchers have long recognized their unique potential for applications ...
Medical Xpress / Immune receptor plays dual role in promoting T-cell exhaustion in cancer
A new Northwestern Medicine study has uncovered how a key immunoregulatory receptor plays an unexpected dual role in promoting T-cell exhaustion during chronic infection and cancer, according to findings published in the ...
Phys.org / Direct observation of spontaneous magnon coherence at room temperature
Researchers at RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau have achieved a key experimental breakthrough: For the first time, the spontaneous macroscopic coherence of magnons—the quantized excitations of magnetic materials—has ...
