Phys.org / Physicists demonstrate Hong–Ou–Mandel interference with more than 10 atoms
In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated the Hong–Ou–Mandel (HOM) effect with up to 12 indistinguishable neutral atoms—an effect that has been predominantly observed in photonic systems.
Phys.org / Scourge of satellites lighting up the sky could be mitigated with help of ultra-black coating
Astrophysicists working to tackle the growing impact of satellite constellations have pioneered a new ultra-black coating as one possible way to mitigate the problem.
Medical Xpress / Precision fMRI maps prefrontal cortex in individuals, revealing fine-scale structures
Much like camera settings—filters, flashes and focus—affect what we notice in a final photo, the way scientists measure something can affect how we interpret and understand it. This is especially true when imaging things ...
Phys.org / A WRAP for biology's greasiest problem
Embedded in the boundary between the inside and outside of each cell are membrane proteins. They act as first responders by sensing signals, regulating which molecules enter and leave the cell, and enabling cells to quickly ...
Medical Xpress / 'Polypill' for heart failure cuts hospitalizations and ER visits by 60% in trial
A "polypill" combining three medications recommended to treat heart failure into a single daily dose proved far more effective for patients than taking the drugs separately, a randomized clinical trial led by UT Southwestern ...
Phys.org / An iconic spear-throwing device likely wasn't used by prehistoric hunters until around 10,000 years ago
Archaeologists have long pictured prehistoric hunters taking down mammoths and other megafauna using the atlatl, a handheld spear-throwing device that uses leverage to achieve greater velocity and force when throwing darts. ...
Tech Xplore / Spintronic hardware unlocks faster, lower-energy optimization, outpacing tested quantum annealers
Solving complex optimization problems is central to many modern technologies, from logistics and financial modeling to chip design, communications and artificial intelligence (AI). However, as these problems grow in size, ...
Phys.org / Sea turtles diving through the eye of the storm help develop better cyclone forecasts
Every summer, communities across northern Australia brace for the tropical cyclone season. Tropical cyclones draw their power from the warm seas, extracting heat and moisture from ocean water.
Phys.org / Hunting behavior drives the evolution of spider eye arrangements, study finds
Vision shapes how many animals find food, avoid danger and navigate their world. In animals with two eyes, eye placement is often linked to lifestyle: predators such as lions tend to have forward-facing eyes that help them ...
Phys.org / MOF thin films reveal hidden dense packing, challenging decades of porous assumptions
Due to their high porosity, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are regarded as promising materials for innovative applications, which is why the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded in 2025 for their discovery. They are used, ...
Medical Xpress / Biomarker-matched drug combos shrink treatment-resistant melanoma in preclinical models
A new study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has identified a way to tailor drug combinations based on specific tumor biology to improve outcomes for treatment-resistant advanced melanoma.
Medical Xpress / Patients in Hawai'i spent $230M+ on out-of-state cancer care in 2021–2023, study finds
A new study led by researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center found that at least $230 million was spent on cancer care delivered outside Hawaiʻi between 2021 and 2023, highlighting the significant financial impact ...
