Phys.org / Atomic spins set quantum fluid in motion: Experimental realization of the Einstein–de Haas effect
The Einstein–de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a quantum fluid by researchers at Science Tokyo. The team observed this effect in a Bose–Einstein condensate ...
Phys.org / Freestanding 3D MXene structures push the limits of microscale devices
In a breakthrough that could power next-generation electronics, sensors, and energy storage devices, CMU engineers have developed a fabrication technique that arranges MXene nanosheets, each a million times thinner than a ...
Phys.org / What ice-fishing competitions reveal about human decision-making
Whether gathering berries, hunting, or fishing, humans searching for food make decisions not only based on personal experience but also by observing others. In a large-scale field study, an international team of researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Simple dietary change may slow liver cancer in at-risk patients
People with compromised liver function may be able to reduce their risk of liver cancer or slow its progression with a simple dietary change: eating less protein. A Rutgers-led study in Science Advances has found that low-protein ...
Tech Xplore / Emoticons can confuse LLMs, causing 'silent failures' in coding responses
Large language models (LLMs), artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process and generate texts in various languages, are now widely used by people worldwide. These models have proved to be effective in rapidly sourcing ...
Medical Xpress / New nanotherapy eases bone metastasis pain by disrupting tumor-nerve crosstalk
A new nano-sized drug carrier that finds bone tumors and releases treatment exactly where it's needed is here to improve the precision and comfort of cancer therapy. Designed by a team of researchers from China, this smart ...
Phys.org / Novel quantum refrigerator benefits from problematic noise
For quantum computers to function, they must be kept at extremely low temperatures. However, today's cooling systems also generate noise that interferes with the fragile quantum information they are meant to protect. Now, ...
Phys.org / Changes to cougar diets and behaviors reduce their competition with wolves in Yellowstone, study finds
A new study shows that interactions between wolves and cougars in Yellowstone National Park are driven by wolves stealing prey killed by cougars and that shifts in cougar diets to smaller prey help them avoid wolf encounters. ...
Medical Xpress / Early signs of Parkinson's can be identified in the blood
A team led by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has succeeded in identifying biomarkers for Parkinson's disease in its earliest stages, before extensive brain damage has occurred. The biological processes ...
Tech Xplore / Speeding the path to synthetic jet fuel with AI, automation and biosensors
When it comes to powering aircraft, jet engines need dense, energy-packed fuels. Right now, nearly all of that fuel comes from petroleum, as batteries don't yet deliver enough punch for most flights. Scientists have long ...
Phys.org / Bacterial 'brains' operate on the brink of order and disorder
The sensory proteins that control the motion of bacteria constantly fluctuate. AMOLF researchers, together with international collaborators from ETH Zurich and University of Utah, found out that these proteins can jointly ...
Phys.org / AI models retrace evolution of genetic control elements in the brain
Artificial intelligence allows tracing the evolution of genetic control elements in the developing mammalian cerebellum. An international research team led by biologists from Heidelberg University as well as the Vlaams Instituut ...
