Phys.org / Using light to probe fractional charges in a fractional Chern insulator
In some quantum materials, which are materials governed by quantum mechanical effects, interactions between charged particles (i.e., electrons) can prompt the creation of quasiparticles called anyons, which carry only a fraction ...
Phys.org / First-ever shark recorded in Antarctic waters filmed at 490 meters in near‑freezing water
An ungainly barrel of a shark cruising languidly over a barren seabed far too deep for the sun's rays to illuminate was an unexpected sight.
Phys.org / Scientists home in on Acinetobacter baumannii's resistance evolution
Acinetobacter baumannii is a bacteria which can become a virulent killer in health-care settings among severely ill patients. The germ has rapidly developed drug resistance to even last-line carbapenem drugs. Now a group ...
Medical Xpress / A potential new lymphedema target: Clearing cholesterol deposits to reduce swelling
An international team led by National University of Singapore researchers has linked secondary lymphedema to excessive cholesterol buildup inside skin and around lymphatic vessels. Excess cholesterol deposition tracked with ...
Medical Xpress / Big feelings: Five ways parents can help kids learn to regulate their emotions
Parenting can be hard and can feel especially overwhelming when children have strong emotions, such as anger, frustration or excitement, that they are not always able to regulate on their own.
Medical Xpress / Down syndrome study sheds new light on early brain development
A research team led by scientists at Queen Mary University of London and University College London (UCL) has found new clues about how the brains of people with Down syndrome develop differently from a very early age. The ...
Medical Xpress / People prefer the empathy of humans, but rate 'fake' AI empathy higher
Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents, particularly the large language models (LLMs) underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT and other popular conversational platforms, are now used daily by millions of people worldwide. As ...
Phys.org / Strong correlations and superconductivity observed in a supermoiré lattice
Two or more graphene layers that are stacked with a small twist angle in relation to each other form a so-called moiré lattice. This characteristic pattern influences the movement of electrons inside materials, which can ...
Phys.org / How a certain form of dark matter may lead to the generation of cosmological magnetic fields
Tiny highly uniform magnetic fields are known to pervade the universe, influencing various cosmological processes. To date, however, the physical mechanisms underpinning the generation of these fields remain poorly understood. ...
Phys.org / Earliest evidence of indigo-dyed textiles and single-needle knitting discovered in Bronze Age Anatolia
A research team led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Çiğdem Maner from Koç University's Department of Archaeology and History of Art has uncovered remarkable textile fragments at Beycesultan Höyük that rewrite our understanding of ...
Tech Xplore / Shipping damage, measured in real time: How wireless origami cushioning could improve logistics
Origami, the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, has received considerable attention in engineering. By applying paper-folding principles, researchers have created compact structures that are flexible, lightweight, ...
Medical Xpress / Physical function is a crucial predictor of survival after heart failure, mortality risk model indicates
Monitoring and treating heart failure (HF) is a challenging condition at any age. Several models, such as Atrial fibrillation, Hemoglobin, Elderly, Abnormal renal parameters, Diabetes mellitus (AHEAD), and BIOlogy Study to ...
