Phys.org / Bazinga! Physicists crack a 'Big Bang Theory' problem that could help explain dark matter
A professor at the University of Cincinnati and his colleagues have figured out something two of America's most famous fictional physicists couldn't: how to theoretically produce subatomic particles called axions in fusion ...
Medical Xpress / 1 in 500 Alaskan deaths during pandemic was from COVID-19, state reports
Over a roughly three-year period beginning in March 2020, 1,564 Alaskans died from COVID-19.
Phys.org / Laser light and the quantum nature of gravity: Proposed experiment could measure graviton energy exchange
When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of light and cause tiny distortions in space-time. Albert Einstein predicted their existence, and the ...
Phys.org / Scientists who use AI tools are publishing more papers than ever before
Science is entering a massive publishing boom, in large part due to artificial intelligence. New research published in the journal Science has revealed that scientists who use large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are ...
Medical Xpress / How natural daylight can help people with diabetes improve blood sugar levels
People with type 2 diabetes may be able to improve their blood sugar by doing something as simple as sitting by a window for a few hours each day. In a study published in Cell Metabolism, scientists showed that natural daylight ...
Dialog / Hidden threats in the dark: Alarming levels of human-made debris in Mediterranean sea caves
Just when we thought we had described all the possible marine environmental recipients of plastic pollution, new research comes in to overturn the picture.
Dialog / Cosmic rays from a nearby supernova may help explain Earth-like planets
How common are Earth-like planets in the universe? When I started working on supernova explosions, I never imagined that my research would eventually lead me to ask a question about the origin of Earth-like planets. Yet that ...
Phys.org / New 'cloaking device' concept shields electronics from disruptive magnetic fields
University of Leicester engineers have unveiled a concept for a device designed to magnetically "cloak" sensitive components, making them invisible to detection.
Phys.org / Paraplegic engineer becomes the first wheelchair user to blast into space
A paraplegic engineer from Germany blasted off on a dream-come-true rocket ride with five other passengers Saturday, leaving her wheelchair behind to float in space while beholding Earth from on high.
Phys.org / Decaying dark matter: Unidentified X-ray emission lines in galaxy cluster spectra may point the way
Scientists search for "decaying" dark matter (DDM) because it offers unique signatures like specific X-ray or gamma-ray lines or neutrino signals not seen in normal matter, potentially revealing dark matter's particle nature, ...
Phys.org / Controlling exciton flow in moiré superlattices: New method leverages correlated electrons
Excitons are pairs of bound negatively charged electrons and positively charged holes that form in semiconductors, enabling the transport of energy in electronic devices. These pairs of charge carriers also emerge in transition ...
Tech Xplore / Ionic liquids slow perovskite degradation: Solar cells retain 90% performance at 90°C
Solar cells, devices that can generate electricity from sunlight, are already helping to reduce fossil fuel emissions in many countries worldwide. In recent years, energy engineers have been assessing the potential of materials ...
