Phys.org / How Indigenous ideas about nonlinear time can help us navigate ecological crises
It is common to think of time as moving in only one direction—from point A, through point B, to point C.
Phys.org / Triplet superconductivity—physicists may have found the missing link for quantum computers
Many physicists are searching for a triplet superconductor. Indeed, we could all do with one, although we may not know it yet—or understand why. Triplet superconductors could be the key to achieving the most energy-efficient ...
Phys.org / Call me invasive: New evidence confirms the status of the giant Asian mantis in Europe
In the realm of entomology, few creatures command as much fascination as the mantis. Throughout history, these striking insects have been deeply woven into local myths and legends, sometimes respected as mystical soothsayers ...
Phys.org / Helping beekeepers fight mites through more effective treatments
Researchers from the USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and the University of California, Davis, are helping beekeepers protect their colonies from destructive varroa mites. In a new study, the researchers investigate ...
Phys.org / The Princess of Bagicz: Dendrochronology settles debate over age of rare Roman-era wooden coffin
Dr. Marta Chmiel-Chrzanowska and her colleagues conducted a multidisciplinary analysis of the only known preserved wooden coffin from the Roman Iron Age, the Princess of Bagicz. The study, published in Archaeometry, used ...
Phys.org / Giant DNA viruses encode their own eukaryote-like translation machinery, researchers discover
In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma that viruses lack protein ...
Medical Xpress / Newly discovered virus linked to colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the Western world and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Age, diet and lifestyle are known risk factors. However, in most cases we still lack a precise ...
Medical Xpress / Mechanism behind immunotherapy resistance in lung cancer identified
Mayo Clinic researchers and collaborators have identified a previously unrecognized way lung tumors weaken the immune system, helping explain why many patients do not respond to immunotherapy and pointing to a potential new ...
Phys.org / New chip-scale microcomb uses lithium niobate to generate evenly spaced light
Applied physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have discovered a new way to generate ultra-precise, evenly spaced "combs" of laser light on a photonic chip, a breakthrough ...
Phys.org / Is this glass square the long, long future of data storage?
Scientists at Microsoft Research in the United States have demonstrated a system called Silica for writing and reading information in ordinary pieces of glass which can store two million books' worth of data in a thin, palm-sized ...
Tech Xplore / Most AI bots lack basic safety disclosures, study finds
Many people use AI chatbots to plan meals and write emails, AI-enhanced web browsers to book travel and buy tickets, and workplace AI to generate invoices and performance reports. However, a new study of the "AI agent ecosystem" ...
Phys.org / Measuring chaos: Researchers quantify the quantum butterfly effect
For the first time, researchers in China have accurately quantified how chaos increases in a quantum many-body system as it evolves over time. Combining experiments and theory, a team led by Yu-Chen Li at the University of ...
