Phys.org / Evidence of a quantum spin liquid ground state in a kagome material
Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not settle into an ordered pattern and continue to fluctuate, even at extremely low temperatures. This ...
Medical Xpress / Everyday conversations can delay eye movements, essential for safe driving
Talking while driving is widely recognized as a major source of distraction, but the specific ways conversation interferes with the earliest stages of visual processing have remained largely unclear. While previous research ...
Medical Xpress / 'Attentional bias' reveals deep connection between numbers and space in the brain
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have studied the relationship between numerical information in our vision, and how it affects our perception of space.
Medical Xpress / Blocking a key gene regulator may restore immune response in cancer therapy
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapy by harnessing the body's immune system to target tumors. Despite their initial clinical success, many patients eventually experience diminished therapeutic ...
Phys.org / Video: Fly through Webb's cosmic vistas
On the launch anniversary of the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, ESA presents a unique compilation of zooms into stunning cosmic views.
Medical Xpress / How gut bacteria could help to diagnose teen depression

Medical Xpress / What researchers have discovered about maternal, infant health under Texas' abortion laws
In the more than four years since the state of Texas significantly restricted access to abortion, medical researchers have been studying the health effects of that policy change.
Phys.org / New materials, old physics—the science behind how your winter jacket keeps you warm
As the weather grows cold this winter, you may be one of the many Americans pulling their winter jackets out of the closet. Not only can this extra layer keep you warm on a chilly day, but modern winter jackets are also a ...
Medical Xpress / AI model forecasts speech development in deaf children after cochlear implants
An AI model using deep transfer learning—the most advanced form of machine learning—has predicted spoken language outcomes with 92% accuracy from one to three years after patients received cochlear implants (implanted ...
Phys.org / Before we build on the moon, we have to master the commute
Even most rocket scientists would rather avoid hard math when they don't have to do it. So when it comes to figuring out orbits in complex three-body systems, like those in cis-lunar space, which is between Earth and the ...
Phys.org / Treasure the emotional connections to the clothes you have and style could be a whole lot more sustainable
With January sales around the corner, another flood of unwanted clothes risks drowning our wardrobes and the planet.
Phys.org / Turning structural failure into propulsion
Solar sails have some major advantages over traditional propulsion methods—most notably, they don't use any propellant. But, how exactly do they turn? In traditional sailing, a ship's captain can simply adjust the angle ...
