Phys.org / Observations investigate the nature of a peculiar supernova
An international team of astronomers has performed follow-up observations of a peculiar Type Ia supernova designated SN 2023vjh. Results of the observational campaign, published July 9 on the preprint server arXiv, deliver ...
Phys.org / Physicists create first room-temperature quantum material
Quantum materials could transform technologies ranging from powerful computers and ultrasecure communications to advanced energy systems. But there has always been one major obstacle.
Tech Xplore / This AI tool doesn't just speak languages—it invents them
Artificial intelligence isn't just capable of translating between existing languages—it can also create entirely new ones.
Phys.org / Trump wants to make daylight saving time permanent—but some fear the move would be a nightmare
One of the most intractable, contentious and niche issues in U.S. politics has come back into the spotlight. This week, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to make daylight saving time permanent in the United States.
Phys.org / Generating red blood cell-like cells from canine induced pluripotent stem cells
Blood transfusions are crucial in human and veterinary medicine, yet human blood reserves are in constant need of donors, while blood bank systems in veterinary care are nearly nonexistent. This leaves canine transfusions ...
Medical Xpress / Heavy TV watching associated with smaller brain structures, study finds
"Turn off that TV, it'll rot your brain!" has been a household refrain for decades. While "rot" might be too strong a term, researchers are finding that the overall sentiment could have some merit.
Medical Xpress / New study sheds light on how Epstein-Barr virus may contribute to multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that attacks the central nervous system. For years, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been strongly linked to MS, as nearly every person diagnosed with the condition shows ...
Phys.org / Samples reveal how Earth slows solar wind striking moon's near side
The moon has been bathed in solar wind for billions of years, but the two hemispheres are struck by solar wind of different speeds and energies.
Phys.org / How the sun goes to 'sleep' could reveal future space weather when it wakes
Scientists have developed a new way to predict the strength of the sun's next activity cycle up to seven years before it reaches its peak.
Phys.org / Quantum entanglement without transport: Leaky qubits offer route around noisy channels
The inevitable leakage of energy and information from a quantum system into its surrounding environment is the enemy of quantum technology. Now, researchers have demonstrated that it can be exploited to generate entanglement—the ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers discover the eye's hidden cleanup system
Many of the world's leading causes of irreversible blindness, including glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration, share a common problem: the buildup of fluid, waste and inflammatory debris in the back of the eye.
Phys.org / Nanoparticles could remove harmful immune molecules from blood
The immune system, the body's defense network against infections and injuries, can sometimes become too active. In these cases, it can produce too many immune mediators, fragments of genetic material or proteins that regulate ...
