Phys.org / Diamond quantum sensors can detect heart magnetism at room temperature without skin contact
Physicists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have developed a technology that uses quantum sensors to measure biomagnetic signals, such as heart activity. Researchers from the DIAQNOS (DIAmond-based Quantum Sensing ...
Phys.org / Hubble spots an out-of-sync galaxy
Though the spiral galaxy in this new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope seems serene, it hides a chaotic secret. This galaxy is NGC 4698, and it lies about 55 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. ...
Phys.org / Who benefits from tariffs, according to research
Tariffs are usually debated as trade policy. But a study from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business treats them as something else: a mechanism for redistributing wealth.
Phys.org / Planetary Health Check 2026 finds mounting pressures across Earth's life support systems
Seven breached Planetary Boundaries continue to worsen as record ocean heat, droughts, floods, wildfires and extreme heat reveal an Earth system under strain, according to the latest Planetary Health Check. The annual update ...
Phys.org / A third of Americans cannot name the three branches of government
Over a third of U.S. adults (35%) cannot name all three branches of the government, and under half can name four of the five rights protected by the First Amendment, according to the 2026 Annenberg Constitution Day Civics ...
Phys.org / Under stress, bacterial RNA and proteins tell different stories
During infection, bacteria encounter rapidly changing and stressful environments inside the body. To understand how they adapt, researchers often measure messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries information from genes that can ...
Tech Xplore / Ultrathin film blocks electromagnetic waves while masking infrared heat
A research team led by Dr. Taehoon Kim of the Composites & Convergence Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS), collaborated with research teams led by Dr. Seon Joon Kim and Dr. Jaewoo ...
Phys.org / A 'rebellious' exoplanet orbits in the opposite direction of its star
A star and its planets form when a cloud of gas and dust collapses in on itself somewhere in space. The cloud then forms a disk around the nascent star, within which the planets will form. This protostar and its disk then ...
Medical Xpress / Gene map reveals how transplanted stem cells repair damaged heart muscle
Researchers led by Assistant Professor Lynn Yap of the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, have uncovered new insights into how unspecialized cells, also known as stem cells, ...
Phys.org / Longitudinal survey finds little evidence that social tech predicts life satisfaction in adults
Social technologies, digital tools that allow people to communicate and share content with each other online, have become a central way of communicating for many people worldwide. Yet the possible effects of these technologies ...
Tech Xplore / Toward physical AI: When the hardware becomes the neural network
Digital computing using silicon chips has transformed nearly every aspect of modern life and enabled the remarkable growth of artificial intelligence. But as AI models scale up, that growth comes with increasing demands for ...
Medical Xpress / Restoring brain immune balance opens new avenue for Alzheimer's treatment
Professor Minah Suh of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University, in collaboration with the biotechnology company IMNEWRUN and Professor Ho-Keun Kwon's team at Yonsei University College of Medicine, ...
