Tech Xplore / Space-based experiments show wax-filled heat sinks keep electronics cooler for longer
An interdisciplinary research team including mechanical science and engineering professor Mickey Clemon from the Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is investigating cooling methods ...
Phys.org / Q&A: How eyewitness memory can serve justice
Eyewitness misidentifications have long been a source of wrongful convictions, casting doubt on the reliability of memory in the courtroom. But UC San Diego psychologist John Wixted says the story doesn't end there. His research ...
Phys.org / Understanding the impact of radiation on silicon carbide devices for space applications
The first results of the ETH Zurich and ANSTO collaboration focused on silicon carbide (SiC) devices have been reported in two publications.
Phys.org / Scientists study behavior of Pacific sleeper shark in deep-sea habitat
Scientists have studied the predatory behavior of sharks in deep-sea ecosystems. This research provides insights into the behavior and distribution range of Pacific sleeper sharks. The research is published in the journal ...
Phys.org / Small tools, big animals: 430,000-year-old butchery investigated in new study
An international research team has published a new study on one of the oldest known sites for the processing of animal meat by humans in the southern Balkans. At Marathousa 1, an archaeological site in the Greek Megalopolis ...
Phys.org / People who adopted pets during the pandemic often struggled to access vet care, study finds
During the COVID-19 pandemic when many were stuck at home, people adopted more pets than average, but then struggled to find adequate veterinary care. Kayla Pasteur of Purdue University, U.S., and colleagues reported these ...
Phys.org / A geometric link: Convexity may bridge human and machine intelligence
In recent years, with the public availability of AI tools, more people have become aware of how closely the inner workings of artificial intelligence can resemble those of a human brain.
Phys.org / Unique method enables simulation of error-correctable quantum computers
Quantum computers still face a major hurdle on their pathway to practical use cases: their limited ability to correct the arising computational errors. To develop truly reliable quantum computers, researchers must be able ...
Medical Xpress / Air pollution may contribute to development of lung cancer in never-smokers
A new study reveals that air pollution, traditional herbal medicines and other environmental exposures are linked to genetic mutations that may contribute to the development of lung cancer in people with no or hardly any ...
Phys.org / Aligned stem cell sheets boost protein production for improved tissue repair
Scientists have developed a technique that aligns stem cells into a single sheet, resulting in a marked increase in the secretion of signaling proteins which help repair tissue and regulate the immune system. The new approach, ...
Phys.org / Coral babies on the move: How larvae's long-distance journeys strengthen reef populations
Understanding how far Great Barrier Reef corals are from their parents could be key to identifying and protecting at-risk populations, University of Queensland research has found.
Phys.org / Researchers discover link between key protein and brain synapse development
Scientists have uncovered how a protein helps build and maintain vital brain connections, providing insights into the neurological problems experienced by people with a rare form of muscular dystrophy known as dystroglycanopathy.
