Phys.org / Elusive Cozumel dwarf fox reappears in first confirmed photos after two decades
A publication has revealed the first photographic evidence and confirmed sighting of the Cozumel dwarf fox in more than 20 years. Published in the journal Neotropical Biology and Conservation by researchers Travis D. Bayer, ...
Phys.org / Newfound sound wave scattering rule may lead to less bulky, more effective soundproofing
Researchers in China recently uncovered a quantum-inspired rule governing how sound is scattered by certain physical properties of a material. Their research, published in Physical Review Letters, may lead to the ability ...
Tech Xplore / Ultra-thin MoS₂ computer packs 1,400 transistors onto one chip
The rapid advancement and diffusion of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as the machine learning models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and similar platforms, have posed new demands on the electronics ...
Phys.org / Frozen rat chromosome springs back to life inside a mouse embryo
Scientists in Japan have developed a rat-mouse hybrid embryo from a single frozen rat chromosome transplanted into a mouse egg cell. The achievement is proof that genetic material can sometimes remain functional after cryopreservation ...
Phys.org / 'The Heaven Sword' crowned as East Asia's tallest tree after a nearly decade-long search
Taiwan, historically known as Formosa, holds a secret deep within its rugged interior: it is one of the rare locations on Earth capable of supporting "giant" trees—specimens that tower over 80 meters in height. Since 2014, ...
Medical Xpress / Ultrasound turns anticancer molecule into deep-lung bacteria killer
An anticancer medication called TLD1433, a ruthenium(II) complex that has entered Phase II trials for conditions such as non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, is now being repurposed to address one of the biggest public health ...
Phys.org / Atlantic 'cold blob' caused by weakening ocean current system that's likely nearing a tipping point, reanalysis finds
A part of the Atlantic Ocean, just south of Greenland and Iceland, has been cooling off while the rest of the world gets hotter. This enigmatic patch is often referred to as the "cold blob" and scientists have been trying ...
Phys.org / Nickelate superconductors share a common electronic fingerprint
Superconductors, materials that conduct electricity with zero electrical resistance at specific temperature ranges, have proved very promising for the development of quantum computers and other cutting-edge technologies. ...
Phys.org / Quantum shell structure reveals new rule for proton-neutron pairing inside nuclei
Nuclear physicists used a little magic in their latest experiment conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, and the result has revealed surprising new information about the ...
Phys.org / Why this $10 spectrometer chip could bring real-time chemical sensing to wearables
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and GlitterinTech, a startup founded by the same research group, have unveiled a fundamentally new type of optical spectrometer that delivers laboratory-grade precision in a device ...
Phys.org / River wildlife moves freely once dams are removed, but so too can invasive species
Almost a quarter of all freshwater species are threatened with extinction. The removal of human-made barriers from rivers, such as dams and weirs, is a popular way to restore water flow and sediment transport to its natural ...
Phys.org / Physicists create new family of Schrödinger-cat states
Quantum mechanics, unlike classical physics, allows objects to exist in more than one state at the same time. This idea is often illustrated by Schrödinger's cat, imagined as being both alive and dead until it is observed. ...
