Phys.org / Magnetism switching in antiferromagnets: Two distinct mechanisms successfully visualized
A research team led by Ryo Shimano of the University of Tokyo has successfully visualized two distinct mechanisms through which up and down spins, inherent properties of electrons, switch in an antiferromagnet, a material ...
Phys.org / Iron-based magnetic material achieves major reduction in core loss
A research team from NIMS, Tohoku University and AIST has developed a new technique for controlling the nanostructures and magnetic domain structures of iron-based soft amorphous ribbons, achieving more than a 50% reduction ...
Phys.org / Chlorine and potassium found in supernova remnant at unexpectedly high levels
"Why are we here?" is humanity's most fundamental and persistent question. Tracing the origins of the elements is a direct attempt to answer this at its deepest level. We know many elements are created inside stars and supernovae, ...
Phys.org / For the first time, researchers observe how influenza viruses infect living cells
The flu illness is triggered by influenza viruses, which enter the body through droplets and then infect cells. Researchers from Switzerland and Japan have now investigated the flu virus in minute detail.
Tech Xplore / Algorithm offers faster, more reliable control over language model outputs
A paper co-authored by Prof. Alex Lew has been selected as one of four "Outstanding Papers" at this year's Conference on Language Modeling (COLM 2025), held in Montreal in October.
Phys.org / Catalyst insight may unlock safer, on-demand ozone water disinfection
University of Pittsburgh researchers have made an important step toward providing hospitals and water treatment facilities with a safer, greener alternative to chlorine-based disinfection.
Phys.org / AI in the classroom: Research focuses on technology rather than the needs of young people
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT has arrived in classrooms and sparked an intense debate about its role in education. These technologies raise the fundamental question of which human skills will still ...
Phys.org / Research reveals atypical Santas can succeed
A naturally fluffy white beard, a round belly and a jolly laugh might seem like the keys to being a successful Santa Claus, but new research suggests that a calling to play the man with the bag full of toys is enough to help ...
Medical Xpress / US vaccine advisers say not all babies need a hepatitis B shot at birth
A federal vaccine advisory committee voted on Friday to end the longstanding recommendation that all U.S. babies get the hepatitis B vaccine on the day they're born.
Medical Xpress / When anger hurts: How feeling wronged can intensify chronic pain
We all know stress can worsen pain, but new research shows that anger and a sense of injustice may be even more powerful triggers.
Medical Xpress / Skin-to-brain signal explains why warm hugs make us feel so good about ourselves
As winter closes in, you might start to notice your fingers and toes freezing when you go outside, or your face flushing hot when you go into a heated building. In these moments of changing temperature, we become more aware ...
Phys.org / E-waste recycling in Ghana exposes workers to toxic pollution and health risks
A University of Michigan study has found that people in Ghana and across the Global South who recycle electronic waste face a difficult paradox: earning livelihoods to ensure survival comes at the cost of severe long-term ...
