Phys.org / First leather bag made from T-Rex cells fails to sell at Paris auction
A leather bag made from Tyrannosaurus rex cells failed to sell Thursday, the Paris auction house Drouot said, commenting that bids were well below expectations.
Phys.org / JWST reveals dawn-dusk atmosphere split on ultra-hot exoplanet WASP-121 b
Astronomers have revealed distinct differences in atmospheric conditions between the morning and evening transition zones of the ultra-hot gas planet WASP-121 b, which separate day from night, commonly called terminators. ...
Phys.org / A new kind of entanglement helps quantum sensors tune out noise
In a quest to build the most accurate quantum sensors in the world, scientists are constantly improving their performance, making them more precise, more stable and more reliable. But eventually, physical constraints will ...
Phys.org / Quantum friction causes light to slow down nanoworld movements
A research team in Bochum, Germany has unexpectedly found that light can slow down movements in the nanoworld. This is due to quantum friction, a phenomenon that has been poorly understood until now. The findings are published ...
Phys.org / AI fast-forwards molecular simulations by 10,000-fold
A new AI model has become so good at predicting how molecules evolve over time that, in the future, it could speed up the costly and time-consuming process of testing new drugs. In the long term, this technology could facilitate ...
Phys.org / Majorana modes withstand disorder in atomic chains, boosting fault-tolerant quantum computing
Quantum computers—systems that process information and perform computations by leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics—could solve some tasks faster and more effectively than classical computers. While some studies ...
Phys.org / CO₂ injection reveals hidden cement chemistry behind 13% stronger early strength
One September day, it started to snow inside MIT's Pierce Laboratory. Researchers depressurized a tank of liquid carbon dioxide (CO2), instantly freezing it and releasing solid flakes. These were blended into cement paste ...
Phys.org / Is your dog a lefty? New 'Doginburgh' test captures paw preference
Just like left- or right-handed humans, domestic dogs have a preference for their left or right paw, a trait known as laterality. This can vary depending on the tasks they perform, which has made it difficult to create a ...
Phys.org / Physicists introduce phase contrast to electron microscopy, delivering sharper images of our body's tiniest proteins
Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside cells that had previously ...
Phys.org / Organic molecule with ultranarrow emission spectrum could lead to better LEDs
Over the past several decades, light sources have gradually transitioned to light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, and inorganic LEDs are now used across a wide range of applications. In parallel, organic LEDs, or OLEDs, have become ...
Tech Xplore / This specially-designed jacket pulls drinking water from thin air
Engineers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a jacket that harvests drinking water directly from the air. The technology could benefit anyone who spends a lot of time in areas without easy access to drinking ...
Phys.org / Hubble captures galaxy swarm with lensed arcs from early universe
Looking somewhat like a swarm of bees returning to their hive, this NASA Hubble Space Telescope image features the galaxy cluster MACS0329-0211. Galaxy clusters like MACS0329-0211 are important signposts in the story of how ...
