Phys.org / Polymer strategy boosts lithium battery safety and performance by making plasticizers compatible
The performance and safety profile of lithium batteries has improved immensely over the years, but new technologies are constantly demanding even better performance and increased safety demands due to higher energy densities. ...
Phys.org / Triply-eclipsing triple star system discovered with TESS
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have discovered a triply-eclipsing star system. The newfound system, designated TIC 295741342, consists of two sun-like stars in an eclipsing binary and ...
Phys.org / Fire salamanders reveal hidden turquoise glow when exposed to UV radiation
An international research team has discovered that the fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) is biofluorescent. A study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science shows that the salamander reflects turquoise light ...
Tech Xplore / Moldable glass screen sharpens X-rays while cutting radiation, even underwater
X-rays allow professionals to diagnose injuries or ailments and peer inside suitcases at the airport, along with a variety of other applications. A team reporting in ACS Energy Letters has improved the glass screen that "translates" ...
Phys.org / Fish have no necks, yet this ancient balancing trick keeps their heads startlingly steady in motion
Postural control is a fundamental behavior for most animals, and head stability in particular plays a crucial role in achieving stable sensory input, accurate spatial perception, and efficient motor output. Tetrapods, including ...
Tech Xplore / Physics-aware AI generates more realistic sounds by estimating mass and velocity from video
When people watch a scene in the film "Jurassic Park" where a giant dinosaur walks toward them, they naturally imagine a heavy, rumbling sound, as if the ground were shaking. This is because humans predict sound by considering ...
Phys.org / Your own personal Farmville: This VR greenhouse lets users monitor crops remotely
You've probably heard of Stardew Valley or Farmville, video games where you manage a virtual farm. Now, what if you could monitor real plants from the comfort of your home? Thanks to new research at Binghamton University, ...
Phys.org / Coral study could help explain infertility and ovarian cancer by decoding cilia-driven fluid flows
A study by researchers at The University of Manchester, carried out alongside the Universities of Melbourne and Copenhagen, could hold the key to understanding the causes of long-term health problems, such as infertility ...
Science X / DNA cracks the mystery of hugging skeletons: First same-sex grave of two women who were neither sisters nor cousins
Every inch dug deeper into the soil can reveal something that changes how we perceive ancient societies. A multiyear excavation near the 13th-century Cathedral of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Opole, Poland, unearthed ...
Medical Xpress / Case of mistaken patterns: Slow brain development linked to ADHD for years might just be sex differences
Figuring out the causes of why children develop attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been on scientists' radar for a few decades now. A common notion that has been around for nearly 20 years is that ADHD is ...
Phys.org / NASA lays out moon base plans with landers, buggies and drones at the top of the list
NASA is already ordering landers, rovers and drones for a sprawling moon base, less than two months after the Artemis II's record-breaking lunar flyaround.
Medical Xpress / Naturally occurring molecule may help outsmart melanoma
Melanoma is one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer, due in large part to its ability to rapidly develop resistance to treatment. Now, researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified a naturally occurring ...
