Phys.org / X-ray observations reveal hidden disturbances in galaxy cluster Abell 3571
Using the Einstein Probe (EP), astronomers from China and Germany have observed a nearby galaxy cluster known as Abell 3571. Results of the observational campaign, published January 8 on the arXiv pre-print server, provide ...
Phys.org / New state of matter discovered in a quantum material
At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The definition of topological states should be generalized.
Phys.org / A new nanorobot designed to improve immune cell recognition could help treat colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer, the abnormal growth of cancerous cells in the large intestine or the rectum, is one of the most common types of cancers worldwide. Available treatments for this type of cancer include chemotherapy, radiation ...
Phys.org / New class of strong magnets uses earth-abundant elements, avoids rare-earth metals
Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious metals—a breakthrough that could significantly advance clean energy technologies and consumer electronics ...
Phys.org / Siwarha's wake gives it away at Betelgeuse
Betelgeuse is the star that everybody can't wait to see blow up, preferably sooner rather than later. That's because it's a red supergiant on the verge of becoming a supernova and there hasn't been one explode this close ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning can predict patients' responses to antidepressants—while disentangling drug and placebo effects
Depression is one of the most widespread mental health disorders worldwide, affecting approximately 4% of the global population. It is characterized by a persistent low mood, disruptions in typical sleeping and/or eating ...
Phys.org / Staying single for longer affects young people's well-being, study finds
Media increasingly portray being single as an expression of people's lifestyle, self-determination and empowerment, with expressions such as self-partnership, solo living, sologamy and singlehood dominating the discourse. ...
Phys.org / Q&A: An ice core library in Antarctica may save humanity's climate memory
On Wednesday, January 14, 2026, the coolest library on Earth was inaugurated at the Concordia station, Antarctica. Samples from glaciers rescued worldwide are now beginning to be stored there for safekeeping. This will allow, ...
Phys.org / What happens when fire ignites in space? 'A ball of flame'
When fire breaks out in the low-gravity, high-stakes conditions inside spacecraft or space stations, it behaves very differently than back here on Earth.
Phys.org / Observing the positronium beam as a quantum matter wave for the first time
One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key finding was wave-particle ...
Phys.org / AI helps reveal global surge in floating algae
For the first time and with help from artificial intelligence, researchers have conducted a comprehensive study of global floating algae and found that blooms are expanding across the ocean. These trends are likely the result ...
Tech Xplore / Liquid metal powers a whole new kind of motor
Researchers at UNSW have developed a new type of motor that spins, not with rigid components, but with a droplet of liquid metal. The breakthrough could transform soft robotics, flexible electronics, and medical devices.
