Phys.org / 'Free-range' dinosaur parenting may have created surprisingly diverse ancient ecosystems
Picture a baby Brachiosaurus the size of a golden retriever, hunting for food with its siblings while dodging predators that would happily eat it. Meanwhile, its parents—towering over 40 feet tall—are dozens of miles ...
Phys.org / High-energy-density barocaloric material could enable smaller, lighter solid-state cooling devices
A collaborative research team from the Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has discovered a high-energy-density barocaloric effect in the plastic ...
Medical Xpress / Early childhood patterns of picky eating can ripple through development for some
At the University of Oslo, psychologists and collaborators following Norwegian families identified a sizable group of children whose eating patterns centered on avoidant and restrictive intake and whose difficulties stretched ...
Phys.org / Chesapeake Bay's storm surge tides can be 47% higher than the open ocean
When hurricanes or strong storms sweep up the United States' East Coast and meet the shores of the country's largest estuary, Chesapeake Bay, the familiar pattern of storm activity gets a little more complicated. A new study, ...
Phys.org / New digital state of matter could help build stable quantum computers
Scientists have taken another major step toward creating stable quantum computers. Using a specialized quantum computer chip (an essential component of a quantum computer) as a kind of tiny laboratory, a team led by Pan Jianwei ...
Phys.org / Astronomers confirm low-luminosity active galactic nucleus in nearby galaxy NGC 3221
Using ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, astronomers from Stanford University and elsewhere have conducted deep X-ray observations of a nearby galaxy known as NGC 3221. The new observational campaign detected a faint active galactic ...
Tech Xplore / Laser-assisted 3D printing can fabricate free-standing thermoset-based electronics in seconds
Thermosets, such as epoxy and silicon rubbers, are a class of polymer (i.e., plastic) materials that harden permanently when they undergo a specific chemical reaction, known as "crosslinking." These materials are highly durable, ...
Phys.org / A direct leap into terahertz: Dirac materials enable efficient signal conversion at room temperature
Highspeed Internet, autonomous driving, the Internet of Things: data streams are proliferating at enormous speed. But classic radio technology is reaching its limits: the higher the data rate, the faster the signals need ...
Medical Xpress / Planned birth at term reduces pre-eclampsia in those at high risk, clinical trial finds
Planned birth at term reduces the incidence of preeclampsia in women at high risk of the condition, without increasing emergency Cesarean or neonatal unit admission, according to new trial results.
Tech Xplore / Zinc-ion batteries get a boost from protective film that reduces dendrite formation
While burning electric vehicles, exploding e-bikes and melting smartphones no longer make the headlines, the issue of battery safety has yet to be fully resolved. To address this, UBC researchers recently made a crucial breakthrough ...
Phys.org / Camera traps snap nearly three times more images of endangered Sumatran tigers than before
Destroyed habitats, poaching, and prey depletion have dramatically reduced tiger habitats around the world. Today, tigers occupy just 5–10% of their historical habitats. But on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, an important ...
Phys.org / Ultrafast, highly reversible sodium storage in engineered hard carbon achieved
A research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has demonstrated ultrafast and highly reversible all-slope sodium storage using specially engineered hard carbon anodes.
