Tech Xplore / Copper's biggest rival yet? New carbon nanotube fibers could reshape wiring for EVs, drones and aircraft
Spanish researchers have demonstrated a scalable manufacturing process for carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers with electrical conductivity comparable to that of copper and aluminum. The result, published in Science, is a breakthrough ...
Phys.org / Alaska's near‑record landslide tsunami sent a wave 1,580 feet up the fjord walls
On the evening of Aug. 9, 2025, passengers on the Hanse Explorer finished taking selfies and videos of the South Sawyer Glacier, and the ship headed back down the fjord. Twelve hours later, a landslide from the adjacent mountain ...
Phys.org / Ganymede's unique magnetic field may be powered by ongoing core formation—not a cooling core
Ganymede is not only Jupiter's largest moon, but also the largest in our solar system and one of the few that hosts a massive ice ocean. Adding to this planet-like moon's uniqueness is the fact that among the hundreds of ...
Phys.org / Good vibrations for quantum communications: Engineers couple single phonon to single atomic spin
Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have demonstrated, for the first time, a single quantum of vibrational energy interacting with a single atomic spin, seeding a pathway ...
Phys.org / Northern Sri Lanka's oldest confirmed settlement reshapes what archaeologists thought about early island life
A study published in the Journal of Island and Coastal Archaeology has identified the earliest evidence of prehistoric occupation by island dwellers of northern Sri Lanka. Long thought to be unsuitable for human occupation ...
Tech Xplore / Contact between 2D and 3D perovskites reshapes crystal order, lifting efficiency to 26.25%
Perovskites, a class of material with a characteristic crystal structure that can convert light into electricity, have proved to be promising for the development of more affordable, flexible, and efficient solar cells than ...
Medical Xpress / Treatment-resistant depression may yield to combinations of medications already in clinical use
Many people with major depressive disorder get no relief from current treatments. Newer combinations of existing medications might help, researchers report in JAMA Psychiatry.
Science X / Think your gaze is steady? Think again. (And thank your wobbly eyes for sight)
Try to focus on one thing, and your eyes will keep moving around very slightly, even if you think you're holding them still. Such movements are called "fixational eye movements" (FEMs). Scientists have been trying to determine ...
Phys.org / The moon's largest impact crater scattered something priceless—and Artemis may be heading straight into it
A new study, published in Science Advances, has refined some important details about the moon's largest and oldest impact crater, which stretches more than 1,200 miles (2,000 km) on the far side of the moon. The new details ...
Phys.org / Climate scientist finds large errors in a global climate pollution database
New research from Northern Arizona University found that a global greenhouse gas emissions database produced by the Climate TRACE consortium, co-founded by former Vice President Al Gore, is underestimating vehicle carbon ...
Science X / This nearly indestructible lab virus kept sabotaging cultures until researchers found a way to protect against it
Researchers from the VEB.RF Group of Skoltech have uncovered the molecular mechanisms that make one of the most persistent laboratory contaminants—bacteriophage T1—unusually resilient and dangerous to bacterial cultures. ...
Phys.org / Reading genetic activity from living cells without destroying them
Until now, studying the genetic processes in cells required destroying them—making it impossible to observe these processes over extended periods of time. A team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Helmholtz ...
