Phys.org / Magnet with near-zero external field could reshape future electronics
An international research team led by DTU has developed a new magnetic material that features a stable internal magnetic structure, almost no external magnetic field, and retains these properties above room temperature. These ...
Phys.org / 'Aquila Booster' challenges theoretical limits of particle acceleration in pulsar wind nebulae
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has detected PeV (1015 eV) gamma-ray emission from a pulsar wind nebula powered by PSR J1849-0001 in the constellation Aquila, marking the discovery of a new PeVatron ...
Phys.org / Physicists revive 1990s laser concept to propose a next-generation atomic clock
Researchers in the US and Germany have unveiled a theoretical blueprint for an atomic clock driven by a highly synchronized laser, where atoms work in concert rather than independently. Publishing their results in Physical ...
Phys.org / New approach to detect ultra-rare part-per-sextillion isotopes could also sharpen dark matter searches
The detection and study of isotopes, atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, could expand the scope of physics research and enable new scientific discoveries. So far, rare isotopes have been primarily ...
Phys.org / Fluorescent probe lights up centrioles and cilia in living cells across species
Scientists at EPFL have developed CenSpark, a fluorescent probe that makes centrioles and cilia visible inside living cells, helping researchers study cell division, development, and immunity like never before.
Medical Xpress / Mechanical forces from the beating heart may help prevent cancer cell growth
Scientists may have discovered another way the human body tries to protect itself from cancer. New research on mice suggests that the heart's constant beating may prevent tumor growth in cardiac tissue. Most organs are vulnerable ...
Phys.org / Microfluidic device tracks cell 'squishiness' faster and more reliably than standard methods
Researchers from Brown University and their collaborators have developed a new way to measure the properties of cells—an important development, they say, because accurate measurements of changes in cell elasticity can be ...
Phys.org / Inside 18 years of ape minds, a vast record that may upend how human intelligence began
A pioneering project led by researchers from the University of Stirling and the Max Planck Institute has opened the door for new insights into the evolutionary origins of human intelligence, by compiling the largest dataset ...
Phys.org / How deceptive content reached millions of voters during the 2020 US elections
Over the past decades, the diffusion of fake news and other deceptive content on social media platforms has become a heated topic of debate. Some past studies have explored the broad impact of online misinformation, while ...
Phys.org / Neanderthals may have shared key DNA for complex language, reshaping when human speech began
In a first-of-its-kind finding, researchers at University of Iowa Health Care discovered that specific genetic sequences have an outsized impact on humans' language abilities and that these sequences evolved before humans ...
Phys.org / This life‑threatening bacterium's hidden motor just gave medicine an unexpected opening to fight back
Scientists have mapped in unprecedented detail the structure of Vibrio bacteria, which can cause life-threatening infections linked to antibiotic resistance. The King's College London team behind the study, published in Nature ...
Phys.org / Paris has successfully cut noise pollution, but urban birds still can't sing at their natural pitch
When Rachel Carson wrote the environmental classic "Silent Spring" in 1962, she warned that unchecked human impacts might create a silent future.
