Phys.org / Researchers create a never-before-seen molecule and prove its exotic nature with quantum computing
An international team of scientists from IBM, The University of Manchester, Oxford University, ETH Zurich, EPFL and the University of Regensburg have created and characterized a molecule unlike any previously known—one ...
Phys.org / Simulations show a path to 'ideal glass' with crystal-like entropy
The types of glass that we encounter in everyday life, such as window glass or smartphone screens, are disordered solids. This means that they consist of particles locked in place, like those in solids, but arranged randomly, ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds earlier asthma biologics in children cut severe attacks most
Robust real-world data on the effectiveness of biologic therapies in children with severe asthma remain limited, particularly across different ages and early-life risk profiles. This evidence gap constrains precision in treatment ...
Medical Xpress / Most Americans say they don't trust driverless cars—here's why
Many Americans remain uneasy about driverless cars. According to new research, their concerns go far beyond safety.
Phys.org / Analysis of 1,000 Tinder profiles reveals nine standard pose types
Choosing a Tinder profile picture may feel like a free, personal and creative act. But how true is that? A new study from the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) shows that, far from being unique, most users follow one ...
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: More bad news for US footballers; ancient Mayan water management; investigative LLMs
What we learned this week: Left-handed people may have a psychological edge in competition. Humanoid robots can now do creepy parkour through the uncanny valley. And if you've ever cared for an elderly cat, a new study highlights ...
Phys.org / NASA's DART test for planetary defense proved it can shift an asteroid's solar orbit
Four years ago, NASA purposely smashed a spacecraft into a small asteroid to see if they could deflect it—a test to prove humanity could protect Earth from threatening space rocks.
Phys.org / New species of ancient mollusk found in South Korean waters
Scientists have discovered a new species of chiton, an ancient marine mollusk that has remained virtually unchanged for the last 300 million years. Chitons have an elongated oval shape with a shell composed of eight interlocking ...
Medical Xpress / HIV-seq tool finds active reservoir cells during therapy
For people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), life-saving antiretroviral therapy keeps their HIV-infected immune cells from making new copies of the virus, preventing illness and transmission. Historically, these ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds iron deficiency can halt young pancreatic beta cell growth
The beta cells in our pancreas act as highly sensitive sensors that constantly measure the amount of sugar in our blood. As soon as we eat something and the sugar level rises, the beta cells produce insulin to help the body ...
Phys.org / Neutrons reveal magnetic signatures of chiral phonons
Physicists in China have uncovered new evidence that chiral phonons and magnons can interact strongly inside magnetic crystals. Using neutron spectroscopy, a team led by Song Bao at Nanjing University mapped magnetic signatures ...
Medical Xpress / Transplanted neural stem cells help preserve vision in retinal degeneration
Cedars-Sinai investigators working to optimize a cell-based treatment for retinitis pigmentosa have uncovered how transplanted neural stem cells interact with host retinal cells to preserve vision. The findings, published ...
