Phys.org / Modeling the Gulf: A researcher's quest to map every current, particle and tide
Understanding the dynamics of how water moves is deceptively simple in concept and endlessly complex in practice. Real-world marine environments are anything but controlled: weather, seasons, and geography change constantly. ...
Phys.org / Mathematicians solve decades-old mystery about the hidden order in high-dimensional randomness
Three mathematicians have laid out proof that solves a long-standing problem in mathematics. Even the mathematician—an Abel prize winner—that first posed the problem didn't believe it would ever be solved. The solution provides ...
Phys.org / Wattle's the deal with psychedelics?
In 2008, while investigating a clandestine drug lab, forensic scientists from WA's ChemCentre found something odd—a pile of wet bark, stripped from a wattle tree and stewed.
Medical Xpress / Lab-grown brain-spinal cord model shows 'irreversible' nerve damage may be reversed
Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect, which underlies human movement. They used this model to show how damage to these connections previously considered ...
Phys.org / Why the most massive galaxies in the early universe stopped forming stars prematurely
Astronomical observations show that the most massive galaxies in the early universe formed approximately three to four billion years after the Big Bang and stopped producing stars very early in cosmic history, around one ...
Phys.org / How Alaska Native communities navigate a potential $170 billion gold mine
Sitting at the northwestern edge of North America, Alaska stretches across a vast Arctic land of wilderness, culture, and wealth beneath the surface. Among its resources is the Donlin Gold deposit, located in southwestern ...
Phys.org / How bacteria survive with almost no oxygen— and why blocking one enzyme could aid new antibiotics
Researchers in Leiden have, for the first time, observed how a specialized enzyme helps bacteria stay alive when oxygen levels are low, and how that process can be blocked. The study, published in Science Advances, opens ...
Phys.org / Ultrafast holographic imaging reveals electron and magnetic dynamics inside next-generation materials
An extremely fast microscopy method to research the interaction of light and matter makes it possible to study optical processes on very short timescales. To this end, a German–Italian research team is combining holographic ...
Medical Xpress / Teclistamab extends remission in relapsed myeloma, with 70% progression-free at 18 months
Patients with relapsed multiple myeloma treated with the immunotherapy teclistamab lived significantly longer and remained in remission far longer than those receiving standard therapies, according to results from a major ...
Medical Xpress / Blood biomarkers reveal subtle midlife cognitive decline tied to Alzheimer's risk
For the first time, researchers found blood biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease that correlated with minor cognitive differences in midlife adults who did not have dementia. The study, led by UC San Francisco, also found that ...
Phys.org / A 'Balrog' in the tunnels: Scientists discover a new cave cricket species on the tiny island of Kastellorizo, Greece
Despite the intensity of modern exploration, the eastern Mediterranean continues to yield unexpected discoveries. On the small Greek island of Kastellorizo, researchers have documented a previously unknown cave cricket thriving ...
Tech Xplore / Sodium-ion batteries could become a low-cost rival to Tesla's batteries
A popular sodium-ion battery designed by the company Hina and used in cars and large-scale energy storage systems in China matches performance parameters and production quality of Tesla's lithium-ion batteries, finds new ...
