Phys.org / The levers for a sustainable food system to combat global warming
A large-scale model study now shows how the global food system can contribute to the fight against global warming. It identifies 23 levers, calculates their effectiveness and concludes: a decisive transformation of this sector ...
Phys.org / Exploring the connection between gene expression and aging
Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular senescence—a state where cells stop dividing but remain metabolically active. The study, published ...
Phys.org / A universal law could explain how large trades change stock prices
Financial markets are often seen as chaotic and unpredictable. Every day, traders around the world buy shares and sell assets in a whirlwind of activity. It looks like a system of total randomness—but is it really?
Phys.org / Laser-engineered nanowire networks could unlock new material manufacturing
A breakthrough development in nanofabrication could help support the development of new wireless, flexible, high-performance transparent electronic devices.
Phys.org / Newly engineered giant superatoms show promise for reliable quantum state transfer
Quantum technologies are systems that leverage quantum mechanical effects to perform computations, share information or perform other functions. These systems rely on quantum states, which need to be reliably transferred ...
Phys.org / Candida auris: Genetic process offers new treatment target for deadly fungal disease
Scientists have discovered a genetic process which could unlock new ways to treat a mysterious and deadly fungal infection which has shut down multiple hospital intensive care units.
Phys.org / Subtle twist in materials prompts surprising electromagnetic behavior
Materials react differently to electric and magnetic fields, and these reactions are known as electromagnetic responses. In many solid materials, unusual electromagnetic responses have been known to only emerge when specific ...
Medical Xpress / Small RNA molecule found to control cholesterol and heart disease risk
A team of researchers led by University of California, Riverside biomedical scientists has identified a small, previously overlooked small RNA molecule that plays a major role in controlling the body's cholesterol production ...
Phys.org / Electricity-driven nitrogen insertion enables sustainable heterocycle synthesis
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed an electrochemical reaction manifold that promotes efficient nitrogen atom insertion into saturated carbocycles to access either functionalized quinolines ...
Phys.org / Deep-sea squid caught masquerading as sponge stalks in Pacific abyss
Cephalopods—the class of animals that comprises octopuses and squids—are ubiquitous throughout the ocean, including in the deep sea. However, researchers still don't know very much about the distribution, diversity and ...
Phys.org / CO₂-driven method rapidly creates complex nanomaterials at room temperature
A team of researchers at UNIST, in collaboration with the University of Cologne and Purdue University, has unveiled a rapid, sustainable method to create complex nanomaterials containing up to 30 different metals in just ...
Phys.org / Massive rock layer beneath Bermuda may explain island's unusual elevation
Bermuda may well be associated with exaggerated stories of missing ships and planes, but there is another mystery about this part of the Atlantic that has been puzzling scientists for decades: Why does the island appear to ...
