Tech Xplore / Space-based experiments show wax-filled heat sinks keep electronics cooler for longer
An interdisciplinary research team including mechanical science and engineering professor Mickey Clemon from the Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is investigating cooling methods ...
Phys.org / Understanding the impact of radiation on silicon carbide devices for space applications
The first results of the ETH Zurich and ANSTO collaboration focused on silicon carbide (SiC) devices have been reported in two publications.
Medical Xpress / Individual neurons in amygdala and hippocampus encode visual features that help recognize faces, study finds
Humans are innately capable of recognizing other people they have seen before. This capability ultimately allows them to build meaningful social connections, develop their sense of identity, better cooperate with others, ...
Phys.org / Two sides of the same fossil: The story of a small arboreal reptile from the Jurassic period
Paleontologists have identified a new ancient reptile from the Solnhofen limestone slabs, thanks to a chance discovery. A Ph.D. student recently found the counterpart of the original fossil at the Natural History Museum in ...
Phys.org / Scientists study behavior of Pacific sleeper shark in deep-sea habitat
Scientists have studied the predatory behavior of sharks in deep-sea ecosystems. This research provides insights into the behavior and distribution range of Pacific sleeper sharks. The research is published in the journal ...
Phys.org / New imaging technique captures every twist of polarized light
EPFL scientists have developed a new technique that lets researchers watch, with unprecedented sensitivity, how materials emit polarized light over time.
Tech Xplore / Striking parallels between biological brains and AI during social interaction suggest fundamental principles
UCLA researchers have made a significant discovery showing that biological brains and artificial intelligence systems develop remarkably similar neural patterns during social interaction. This first-of-its-kind study reveals ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists create first mini-lungs with built-in blood vessels, unlocking new insights for pulmonary vascular disease
UCLA researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs from stem cells—complete with their own functioning blood vessel networks.
Phys.org / Bioplastic shelters support algae growth in Mars-like conditions for space habitats
If humans are ever going to live beyond Earth, they'll need to construct habitats. But transporting enough industrial material to create livable spaces would be incredibly challenging and expensive. Researchers at the Harvard ...
Phys.org / Strong magnetic fields flip angular momentum dynamics in magnetovortical matter
Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it encompasses both the intrinsic spin of particles and their orbital motion around a point. These ...
Phys.org / Regional disparities exist in US media coverage of archaeology research, finds study
What archaeological discoveries are considered newsworthy by U.S. media outlets and audiences? A new analysis of "pop-science" reporting reveals topical and regional disparities, including an apparent underrepresentation ...
Phys.org / Snails get stressed: Invertebrate model sheds light on biological basis of anxiety
Anxiety, the psychological and physiological state characterized by an anticipation of potential threats and a heightened sense of vigilance, is regularly experienced by many humans worldwide. Research suggests that anxiety ...
