Phys.org / Data reveals hidden divide in coping with heat waves
A new study tracking the movements of 1 billion mobile phone devices has exposed how wealth and age create a hidden divide in people's ability to withstand heat waves. Scientists analyzing data from record-breaking temperatures ...
Phys.org / Wolves and other predators present 'a crisis,' California's environment chief says
On Jan. 27, California lawmakers took initial steps toward addressing the public safety concerns posed by the state's growing populations of wolves, mountain lions and other predators—issues the state's top environmental ...
Phys.org / A student made cosmic dust in her lab—what she found could help us understand how life started on Earth
A Sydney Ph.D. student has recreated a tiny piece of the universe inside a bottle in her laboratory, producing cosmic dust from scratch. The results shed new light on how the chemical building blocks of life may have formed ...
Phys.org / 91-qubit processor accurately simulates many-body quantum chaos
Quantum chaos describes chaotic classical dynamical systems in terms of quantum theory, but simulations of these systems are limited by computational resources. However, one team seems to have found a way by leveraging error ...
Phys.org / Superconductivity exposes altermagnetism by breaking symmetries, study suggests
How are superconductivity and magnetism connected? A puzzling relation between magnetism and superconductivity in a quantum material has lingered for decades—now, a study from TU Wien offers a surprising new explanation.
Phys.org / Two huge hot blobs of rock influence Earth's magnetic field, study reveals
Exploring Earth's deep interior is a far bigger challenge than exploring the solar system. While we have traveled 25 billion km into space, the deepest we have ever gone below our feet is just over 12 km. Consequently, little ...
Phys.org / Long-period Jupiter-like exoplanet discovered with TESS
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new extrasolar planet transiting a distant star. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-6692 b, is the size ...
Phys.org / Stacked graphene sandwich reveals switchable memory without traditional ferroelectrics
A research team led by Professor Youngwook Kim from the Department of Physics and Chemistry, DGIST, in collaboration with the research team of Professor Gil Young Cho at KAIST, have discovered a new memory principle that ...
Medical Xpress / Saline nasal spray alone resolves sleep-disordered breathing in nearly one-third of children, study finds
Investigators based at Monash Children's Hospital and Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne report that a once-daily intranasal saline spray resolved obstructive sleep-disordered breathing symptoms in nearly one-third of children ...
Phys.org / Probiotics for plants: Microorganisms boost growth and nitrogen uptake
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have identified a bacterial genus that promotes root growth and nitrogen uptake in plants. The findings open new possibilities for developing customized "plant probiotics" ...
Phys.org / High-tech scans of an enigmatic 400-million-year-old lungfish reveal new details
New pieces have been added to the puzzle of the evolution of some of the oldest fish that lived on Earth more than 400 million years ago. In two separate studies, experts in Australia and China have found new clues about ...
Medical Xpress / How sleep loss can damage your brain's wiring
Sleep loss damages the fatty insulation protecting the nerve cells in our brain, according to a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The research also explains why we often feel ...
