Phys.org / Quantum dot discovery for LEDs brings brighter, more eco-friendly displays
New research by Curtin University has achieved a breakthrough in eco-friendly display technology, creating highly efficient and stable blue quantum dot LEDs (QLEDs) that could power the next generation of televisions, smartphones, ...
Phys.org / Introducing Evo 2, a predictive and generative genomic AI for all domains of life
Researchers at the Arc Institute, Stanford University, and NVIDIA have developed Evo 2, an advanced AI model capable of predicting genetic variations and generating genomic sequences across all domains of life.
Phys.org / New fossil discovery of an early human relative reveals that it walked upright, just like humans
Paranthropus robustus was a species of prehistoric human that lived in South Africa about 2 million years ago, alongside Homo ergaster, a direct ancestor of modern people. Fossils of Paranthropus robustus are found in abundance ...
Tech Xplore / 'One-pot' technique creates inorganic and polymer battery electrolytes simultaneously
Creating battery electrolytes—the component that carries the charged particles back and forth between a battery's two terminals—has always been a tradeoff.
Medical Xpress / Neurostimulation shows promise as potential Alzheimer's treatment in preliminary trial
Repeated sessions of electrical stimulation to brain networks associated with memory improved verbal learning in some Alzheimer's disease patients for up to eight weeks in a preliminary trial led by UT Southwestern Medical ...
Phys.org / Methane surge could influence polar ozone recovery, study finds
A new study published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences sheds light on the complex relationship between methane emissions and the recovery of the stratospheric ozone layer. The research underscores how future increases ...
Phys.org / Indigenous languages: The pace of extinction is slower than expected—but still alarming
On average, every month across the globe, two Indigenous languages disappear, according to the United Nations. And 40% of the world's languages, mostly Indigenous, are threatened with long-term extinction as fewer and fewer ...
Tech Xplore / Hydrogen sensor that could pave the way for safer, cleaner energy
Scientists have developed a hydrogen sensor that could accelerate the transition to clean hydrogen energy. As the world transitions away from fossil fuels, hydrogen is considered a key player to the transition to cleaner ...
Phys.org / Algorithm sheds light on 'disordered' proteins once considered too difficult to study
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not attain a stable secondary or tertiary structure and rapidly change their conformation, making structure prediction particularly challenging. Although these proteins exhibit ...
Phys.org / Novel enzyme breaks down and synthesizes previously unexplored glycans with prebiotic potential
Carbohydrate chains, or glycans, are complex sugar-like compounds that play important roles in various biological processes and structures in our bodies. Galactosides are a type of glycan found in plants, animals, and microorganisms. ...
Phys.org / World's oldest meteorite impact crater found, rewriting Earth's ancient history
Curtin University researchers have discovered the world's oldest known meteorite impact crater, which could significantly redefine our understanding of the origins of life and how our planet was shaped.
Phys.org / Eocene mudflat fossils reveal ancient waterbird foraging behaviors and four new species
Recently, paleontologists Dr. John-Paul Zonneveld, Dr. Sarah Naone, and Dr. Brooks Britt described the discovery and classification of four new ichnotaxa (fossilized trace taxa) from the Eocene mudflat successions of Utah.
