Phys.org / Fish DNA and 10,000 crystals rewrite Colorado River's Grand Canyon origin story
For more than 150 years, scientists have debated when and how the Colorado River first carved its way through the Grand Canyon. Now, a new study led by researchers at the University of New Mexico offers evidence that the ...
Tech Xplore / Low-current standby protects carbon dioxide catalysts for 750 hours and cuts costs 25%
Catalysts that convert waste carbon dioxide into valuable products like acetate are designed to run continuously on electricity for the conversion process. But electricity from renewable energy sources, such as solar or hydroelectric ...
Phys.org / Transparent nanosheets could shrink phone cameras while preserving high-resolution color images
Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have developed gallium-doped zinc oxide (GZO) nanosheets that may enhance camera resolution in compact devices, including smartphones and medical endoscopes.
Medical Xpress / Low-oxygen treatment helped diseased mice live three times longer. Could humans benefit?
Oxygen isn't always a good thing. Of course, people—and most organisms—cannot live without it. But oxygen can also be quite toxic and lead to profound health consequences.
Phys.org / New technique takes the heat out of 3D printing process
Researchers have developed a new 3D printing technique that allows the printing of whole objects while controlling the temperature of the chemical reaction to stabilize the process. Academics in the University of Nottingham's ...
Medical Xpress / Eco-friendly spiderweb-inspired pressure sensor for robotic hands may assist patients with Parkinson's disease
A high-performance biodegradable pressure sensor has been developed as a key technology for wearable AI health care robotics and user-friendly robotic systems.
Phys.org / This rare British butterfly looks familiar, but its genome tells a very different story
The British swallowtail butterfly (Papilio machaon britannicus) is the U.K.'s only native swallowtail and its largest native butterfly. It's instantly recognizable by its striking light yellow-and-black wings, with twin tail-like ...
Tech Xplore / Perovskite triple-junction solar cells reach 27.3% efficiency with record 770-hour stability
Perovskite semiconductors efficiently convert sunlight into electrical energy; they are also inexpensive and extremely lightweight. A team at HZB has developed a triple-junction solar cell comprising different perovskite ...
Medical Xpress / Mouse study identifies C1 neurons as a driver of prolonged fear and anxiety
Anxiety disorders affect more than 300 million people globally. Several brain regions have been linked to anxiety, but how these regions connect has been poorly understood. By exploring these connections, scientists at St. ...
Phys.org / Wearables to track plant health: Farmers could use real-time information to manage crop conditions
A smartwatch can tell us the level of oxygen in our blood, when our sleep is restless or the number of steps we take in a day. Now imagine that kind of tracking ability for plants. By the time farmers see curling leaves or ...
Science X / Could endless scrolling really rot your brain? A new study suggests it might, but also says exercise could fight back
Consider flipping through numerous videos on TikTok within mere minutes—some news item, some dancing fad, some culinary trick and some comedy sketch. The content might grab your attention momentarily, but it's gone just like ...
Phys.org / Unraveling the glass-like nature of epithelial tissues
In a new study, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have resolved a longstanding mystery by showing how epithelial tissues exhibit slow-moving, glass-like behavior despite their fast-paced biological activity. ...
