Phys.org / Circular Rydberg atoms set three records, staying stable for 11 milliseconds
Rydberg atoms are considered promising building blocks for quantum computers and their precursors, quantum simulators. Researchers at the 5th Institute of Physics of the University of Stuttgart have achieved record values ...
Phys.org / Ancient DNA traces medieval migration from Sweden to Finland
A new study led by the University of Turku provides new insights into the population history of Finland during the Late Iron Age and the Middle Ages. The researchers analyzed the genomes of people who lived in southwestern ...
Tech Xplore / Harvesting hot electrons could break solar panel barrier
Physics predicts that no more than 33% of the solar energy that falls on a solar panel can be converted into electricity. However, experiments and simulations by scientists at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands ...
Phys.org / Kids involved with child protective services miss much more school than their peers
Across the country, kids are settling into new school-year routines. Parents buy backpacks, teachers arrange desks and lesson plans, and friends reconnect. But in recent years, empty chairs are becoming a more common sight—especially ...
Phys.org / Amazonian study identifies most effective ways of conserving biodiversity and carbon
As the 2026 El Niño intensifies across the Amazon, new research highlights the urgent need to better protect the region's remaining forests from disturbances.
Medical Xpress / The body's warmth sensor is secretly a pain switch—blocking it may ease arthritis
Chronic pain, including arthritis pain, affects more than one-third of U.K. adults. Current painkillers such as methotrexate and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) work by damping down the immune system, which ...
Phys.org / First confirmed Diplodocus outside North America reshapes Late Jurassic migration picture
In a discovery that challenges our understanding of dinosaur distribution during the Late Jurassic period, paleontologists have identified the first evidence of the iconic Diplodocus outside North America.
Phys.org / What ancient Mars rocks reveal about its buried carbonate stores
Carbonate minerals are among the best records of past liquid water on Mars: They form when water carrying dissolved carbon dioxide reacts with rock, and their composition reflects the chemistry of both. Yet Mars has surprisingly ...
Phys.org / Europe can lower emissions without deindustrializing, say researchers
The European Union has committed to achieving climate neutrality by 2050, a process that will require rapid and substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions across all economic sectors.
Phys.org / Endurance running or endurance diving—which came first?
A new study combines paleoanthropology and diving physiology to address a fundamental question in human evolution: Why did humans evolve their exceptional aerobic endurance? Did our ancestors begin endurance running to exhaust ...
Phys.org / Long-term oyster reef restoration shows clear success in murky waters
Large-scale oyster reef restoration in the Chesapeake Bay is successfully creating three-dimensional habitats that support larger, more diverse fish communities, according to new research from scientists at the University ...
Medical Xpress / New report finds gaps in HIV testing, diagnosis and prevention
A new study from La Trobe University has identified significant gaps in HIV testing, diagnosis and prevention that are leaving some people vulnerable to infection, despite major advances in treatment and care.
