Phys.org / A new way to view shockwaves could boost fusion research
At the heart of our sun, fusion is unfolding. As hydrogen atoms merge to form helium, they emit energy, producing the heat and light that reach us here on Earth. Inspired by our nearby star, researchers want to create fusion ...
Phys.org / Solving quantum computing's longstanding 'no cloning' problem with an encryption workaround
A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have made a breakthrough in quantum computing that elegantly bypasses the fundamental "no cloning" problem. The research, "Encrypted Qubits can be Cloned," appears in Physical ...
Phys.org / Can we use bees as a model of intelligent alien life to develop interstellar communication?
Humans have always been fascinated with space. We frequently question whether we are alone in the universe. If not, what does intelligent life look like? And how would aliens communicate?
Tech Xplore / Advances in thin-film electrolytes push solid oxide fuel cells forward
Under the threat of climate change and geopolitical tensions related to fossil fuels, the world faces an urgent need to find sustainable and renewable energy solutions. While wind, solar, and hydroelectric power are key renewable ...
Tech Xplore / 3D-printed solar panel offers color tuning and transparency for flexible surfaces
A new study highlights a semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cell designed to work in places traditional panels can't, like windows and flexible surfaces. Using a 3D-printed pillar structure, the researchers can fine-tune ...
Phys.org / Antibodies' decoy tactics for outmaneuvering pathogens could inspire next-generation treatments
Pathogens can create sticky situations. When microbes invade the body to cause an infection, often one of their first lines of attack is to cling tenaciously to the surfaces of targeted human cells.
Medical Xpress / Maternal flu and Tdap shots may lower rates of infant hospitalization, ED visits
Maternal influenza and tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccinations are associated with a lower risk for influenza- and pertussis-related hospitalization or emergency department (ED) visits in infants younger ...
Phys.org / Ultrasonic sensor capable enables cuffless, non-invasive blood pressure measurement
A new technology has been developed that enables cuffless noninvasive blood pressure monitoring by using ultrasonic to track real-time changes in vascular diameter—without the need for a traditional cuff. The technology ...
Medical Xpress / Facial expressions decoded: Brain regions work together in surprising new ways
When a baby smiles at you, it's almost impossible not to smile back. This spontaneous reaction to a facial expression is part of the back-and-forth that allows us to understand each other's emotions and mental states.
Medical Xpress / A double-pronged attack on malignant B cells with improved immunotherapy
Multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow, remains difficult to treat despite modern CAR T cell therapies. In recent research, a team led by Dr. Armin Rehm presents an improved immunotherapy that recognizes two distinct ...
Medical Xpress / Targeting the immune system could prevent future heart attacks, clinical trial suggests
Cambridge researchers have discovered that an existing therapy which boosts protective immune cells in people who recently had heart attacks reduces blood vessel inflammation and may reduce the likelihood of future heart ...
Phys.org / Astronomers build molecular cloud atlas for nearby Andromeda galaxy
Astronomers from Cardiff University, UK, have employed the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA) to explore the nearby Andromeda galaxy. Results of the observational campaign, published December ...
