Medical Xpress / Teens' attitudes toward smoking are shaped more by dad's habits than mom's
A new study from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln sheds light on how parental smoking shapes adolescents' attitudes and use of both traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes, finding that fathers' behaviors may play a more ...
Phys.org / Supercomputer illuminates subatomic particle that helps hold matter together
A team of researchers has leveraged a supercomputer at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory to reveal the internal structure of a pion in unprecedented detail. The findings are published in the ...
Phys.org / Groundbreaking US astronaut Christina Koch wins top Spanish award
US astronaut Christina Koch, the first woman to take part in a lunar mission, was named Wednesday the winner of a top Spanish prize for having "helped extend the frontiers of humanity."
Phys.org / Scientist creates 'mini‑universe' to measure time without a clock
A University of Birmingham scientist has built a "mini-universe" that takes a step toward answering one of science's biggest questions: "What is time?" Publishing his findings in Physical Review Research, Professor Giovanni ...
Phys.org / Aliens might exist, but there are three reasons why they're not visiting us
The United States government's recent release of hundreds of previously classified unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) cases spanning the 1940s to the present, along with the new Steven Spielberg movie, "Disclosure Day," ...
Tech Xplore / New heat dissipation device design achieves a 47% weight reduction in a non-terrestrial network planar antenna
The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Sharp Corp, Mitsubishi Chemical Corp, and TECHLAB Co, jointly reduced the total weight of a planar antenna for NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) applications ...
Phys.org / The hidden physics complicating interstellar lightsails
If we're to reach another star, chemical propulsion will not get us there in any reasonable time frame. We're going to need a different propulsion technology, and one of the most promising seems to be a solar sail. These ...
Phys.org / High degree of quantum entanglement detected for first time in centimeter-sized crystal of strange metal
Many quantum effects can be observed only when a small number of particles is studied—individual atoms, molecules or photons, for example, carefully shielded from the rest of the world. But what about macroscopic objects, ...
Phys.org / Why birds ignore Newton: New theory could sharpen models of flocks, crowds and cells
Birds in flocks, bacteria and cells: In many collective systems, individual elements respond to only part of their surroundings, seemingly defying Newton's third law of motion—action equals reaction. These exceptions are ...
Medical Xpress / A 16-month-old and his mother recover from Ebola in rare good news from outbreak in Congo
A 16-month-old baby and his mother have recovered from Ebola in eastern Congo, a rare positive development as Africa's top health body warned the outbreak of the deadly virus could become the worst on record if it continues ...
Phys.org / Could Earth have sent life to Jupiter's moon Europa?
Could Earth have seeded Jupiter's moon Europa with bacterial life, where it could have taken hold in Europa's ocean and perhaps evolved into something more? That's the hypothesis of a new paper in the International Journal ...
Phys.org / Powerful UFO spotted blasting from a distant black hole
Astronomers have detected one of the most powerful ultra-fast outflows ever seen from a distant supermassive black hole. Using XMM-Newton and NuSTAR, a team studied a hyper-luminous quasar at cosmic noon and found two distinct ...
