Tech Xplore / Prototype glasses can turn infrared into color vision
The human eye, as good as it is, misses out on so much of the world because it is limited in what it can perceive. It can't see X-rays, ultraviolet rays or infrared light. While X-ray goggles are still the stuff of science ...
Phys.org / Two materials, one photonic chip: Unlocking a new way to generate light frequencies
Modern photonic chips can pack sophisticated optical functions onto devices smaller than a fingernail. They are increasingly used to generate, manipulate and measure light for applications ranging from communications to sensing. ...
Medical Xpress / Immune cells in human lung tissue may drive the development of autoimmune disease
A massive analysis of immune cells in human tissue is yielding clues to the root causes of lung and autoimmune diseases.
Phys.org / Quantum fluid reveals hidden states that can be switched with a magnetic field
Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are often described as a "fifth state of matter": a quantum state in which many particles lose their individual identities and behave as one collective object. For more than 60 years, researchers ...
Phys.org / Decades-old theory for how insect societies evolve challenged
For more than 60 years, evolutionary biologists have debated whether a unique genetic system found in ants, bees and wasps helps explain one of nature's most remarkable innovations: eusociality, a form of social organization ...
Phys.org / New catalyst design selectively suppresses competing hydrogen reaction in ammonia synthesis
A research team led by professor Yousung Jung from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Seoul National University College of Engineering has developed a new catalyst design principle that suppresses the ...
Phys.org / How the 'fecal revolution' changed Earth's ecosystems
An international study led by Flinders University has found a fertile area of inspiration to explain an important step in evolution—and it's a whole lot of poop. The new study describes the "fecal revolution" to explain a ...
Medical Xpress / What's in kratom products? Tests find 85% conflict with labels
What's listed on a kratom product label may not tell the full story. Researchers in the University of Florida College of Pharmacy have found that commercially available kratom products, including many kratom-derived products, ...
Phys.org / Nano-optics: New mechanism for channeling light waves discovered in natural hyperbolic materials
Researchers at the 4th Physics Institute of the University of Stuttgart and the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Milan have demonstrated a new mechanism for directing light in a naturally hyperbolic van der Waals ...
Medical Xpress / 3D genome mapping in rare immune cells reveals new Crohn's disease genes
A new study co-led by professor Valeriya Malysheva, group leader at the VIB-UAntwerp Center for Molecular Neurology, published in Nature Genetics, uncovers how the three-dimensional organization of DNA in rare immune cells ...
Phys.org / Mapping monsters: Data release unveils all-sky views of supermassive black holes
Data released by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) marks a landmark expansion in the study of accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs). As part of the fifth generation of the survey (SDSS-V), the Black Hole Mapper (BHM) ...
Tech Xplore / Solving the solvent problem to make sodium-metal batteries a more practical energy storage option
Lithium-ion batteries are the leading choice in today's electric vehicle and battery energy storage system industries, but they contain a number of critical minerals—including lithium, cobalt, nickel and graphite—that are ...
