Phys.org / Machine learning reveals hidden complexities in palladium oxidation, sheds light on catalyst behavior
Researchers at the Fritz Haber Institute have developed the Automatic Process Explorer (APE), an approach that enhances our understanding of atomic and molecular processes. By dynamically refining simulations, APE has uncovered ...
Phys.org / Nitrogen's dominant role in global organic aerosol absorption revealed
A collaborative research team has introduced a nitrogen-centric framework that explains the light-absorbing effects of atmospheric organic aerosols. Published in Science, this study reveals that nitrogen-containing compounds ...
Phys.org / Private lunar lander touches down on the moon, but its status is unknown
A privately owned lunar lander touched down on the moon Thursday, but as the minutes dragged on, flight controllers could not confirm its condition or whether it was even upright near the south pole.
Phys.org / Time will tell: Geoscientists develop tool to chronicle unexplained gaps in the rock record
Iron oxide minerals are found in rocks around the globe. Some are magnetic, and some of them rust—especially when exposed to water and oxygen. These characteristics provide clues about the history of these minerals.
Phys.org / More potential locations for ice on the Moon discovered
Ice may be present a few centimeters below the moon's surface in more areas of the lunar polar regions than was previously thought due to large, yet highly localized, variations in surface temperatures. The results, published ...
Phys.org / Order to disorder: Scientists take close look at icy surfaces with spectroscopy, simulation and machine learning
Much like a tongue freezes to a frigid metal pole, ice can speed up the adsorption, or stickiness, of molecules. An icy surface can also cause molecules to degrade in the presence of light, releasing trace gases. Before researchers ...
Phys.org / Unearthing the secrets of an ancient Greek city
The ancient city of Teos sits on the western coast of Türkiye, directly across the Aegean Sea from Athens. Today, it is rubble and ruins, but 2,000 years ago, it was a thriving center of Hellenistic and Roman art, culture, ...
Phys.org / Squid are some of nature's best camouflagers. Researchers have a new explanation for why
Nature is full of masters of disguise. From the chameleon to arctic hare, natural camouflage is a common yet powerful way to survive in the wild. But one animal might surprise you with its camouflage capabilities: the squid.
Tech Xplore / A 30-foot-long glass bridge blends ancient wisdom with cutting-edge design
With more than 500 bridges crisscrossing the city of Philadelphia, they are an integral part of daily life. In a city defined by its rivers, bridges make possible the connections between people.
Medical Xpress / West Texas reports nearly 200 measles cases. New Mexico is up to 30
A historic measles outbreak in West Texas is just short of 200 cases, Texas state health officials said Friday, while the number of cases in neighboring New Mexico tripled to 30.
Medical Xpress / 60% of adults will be overweight or obese by 2050: Study
Nearly 60 percent of all adults and a third of all children in the world will be overweight or obese by 2050 unless governments take action, a large new study said Tuesday.
Phys.org / Superconducting quantum processor prototype operates 10¹⁵ times faster than fastest supercomputer
Zuchongzhi-3, a superconducting quantum computing prototype with 105 qubits and 182 couplers, has made significant advancements in random quantum circuit sampling. This prototype was successfully developed by a research team ...
