Phys.org / AI-powered lab discovers brighter lead-free nanomaterials in 12 hours
A new autonomous laboratory recently navigated through billions of potential material synthesis recipes to identify brighter, lead-free light-emitting nanomaterials in just 12 hours. The work could accelerate development ...
Phys.org / How a newly discovered organelle could help reduce cow methane emissions
When cows burp, they send a substantial amount of methane gas into the air, which makes them a leading contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. According to research published in the journal Science, a newly discovered hydrogen-producing ...
Phys.org / Symmetry says these crystal vibrations can never mix, but an exotic quantum phase rewrites the rules
Symmetry is one of the most fundamental principles in nature. It describes the rules that make an object look unchanged after a rotation, reflection, or other transformations. In materials, symmetry governs how atoms and ...
Phys.org / Rising temperatures could be driving up antibiotic resistance in soil, 11-year study finds
Every year, millions suffer, and thousands lose their lives to infections that were once easily treatable with the right dose of medication. The drugs are the same; human physiology is the same; the only difference is that ...
Phys.org / A tiny world beyond Neptune has an atmosphere that shouldn't exist
A team of professional and amateur Japanese astronomers have found evidence for a thin atmosphere around a small body in the outer solar system. The object is so small that it should not have a sustainable atmosphere, raising ...
Medical Xpress / Family data reveal two genetic paths to childhood depression and anxiety
Many common mental health disorders, including depression and anxiety, are associated with a tendency to internalize problems or, in other words, to direct feelings inwards instead of expressing them and sharing them with ...
Phys.org / Antibiotic-resistant bacteria turn up in six lakes, with urban waters hit hardest
A team of scientists from Berlin analyzed water and sediment samples from six water bodies in Berlin and the adjacent federal states of Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, as well as the inflow and outflow of a ...
Medical Xpress / Two drug strategies boost myelin repair in MS models, cutting neuroinflammation
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is most prevalent in Northern Europe and Canada, and more common in the northernmost latitudes. In recent years, the number of cases has grown, particularly among women. The disease causes the patient's ...
Phys.org / Time-varying magnetic fields can engineer exotic quantum matter
Quantum technology has promising potential to revolutionize how large and complex amounts of information are processed. While already in use primarily in laboratory and research settings globally, quantum technologies are ...
Phys.org / Politicians are not ignoring you, statistical analysis suggests
If you're registered to vote in the United States and you're not among the richest of the rich, political scientist Peter K. Enns has a message for you: Your voice still matters. So does data analysis methodology.
Science X / Coffee doesn't just wake you up—a key biological pathway illuminates widespread health effects
For decades, research has linked coffee consumption to longer life and lower risk of chronic disease—but exactly how those benefits occur has remained unclear. Now, new research from the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine ...
Phys.org / New insight could change how we break down 'forever chemicals'
PFAS, often called "forever chemicals," are notoriously difficult to remove from the environment. Their extreme chemical stability means they can persist in water and the human body for decades, creating a major global pollution ...
