Phys.org / DNA matches identify four more sailors from Franklin expedition
Researchers have identified four more members of Sir John Franklin's 1845 expedition, one of whom was the subject of great debate lasting for more than a century. Anthropologists from the Faculty of Arts at the University ...
Medical Xpress / Large study finds a strong link between depression and problem cannabis use
A new meta-analysis of 55 studies involving more than 3 million people has found that 31% of individuals with cannabis use disorder (CUD) also struggle with major depressive disorder (MDD). While a link between these two ...
Phys.org / Hourglass nanographenes unlock strong, robust multi-spin entanglement
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and collaborators have developed a predictive design strategy for creating graphene-like molecules with multiple interacting spins and enhanced resilience to magnetic ...
Phys.org / Rare footage of elusive sea-floor creatures and backward-swimming fish captured by compact video-acoustic system
Arctic glacial fjords are hotspots of marine life, yet their seafloor environments remain some of the least explored regions on Earth. Their extreme remoteness and the technical challenges of deep-water observation have led ...
Phys.org / Gut bacteria reveal hidden evolutionary lineages tied to aging and disease
The human gut harbors a complex ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms (the microbiome), which influences digestion, the immune system and metabolism. A research team led by the University of Vienna has used the "reverse ...
Medical Xpress / Lying down to stand stronger: 10 minutes of simple floor exercises a day could improve balance and agility
Don't feel like standing up for a workout? No problem, you can still get a good workout that helps improve static standing balance, flexibility, and agility, all while lying on your back with your head facing up.
Phys.org / Antimalarial drug hunt uncovers enzyme target with potent new inhibitors
Researchers from the Universities of Bath and Leeds (UK) have made a significant advance in the fight against malaria by uncovering a promising new potential target for drug discovery. The findings, published in the Journal ...
Phys.org / A persistent quantum computing error finally explained
Scientists have discovered the cause of a persistent glitch that continues to disrupt superconducting quantum computers, even when they have built-in defenses. For all their advanced hardware, superconducting quantum computers ...
Phys.org / Sound waves create mist that can act like 'plant sunscreen'
RMIT University researchers have developed a new way to coat fragile surfaces, including living plant leaves, using high‑frequency sound waves to create a fine mist that can act like a plant sunscreen.
Phys.org / Researchers discover a new pathway to building energy-efficient computing chips
The growing popularity of electronic devices—from fitness trackers and laptops to smartphones—is driving demand for more energy-efficient computing chips. Now, researchers have found a way to change the electronic properties ...
Phys.org / A tale as old as time: Young, attractive femme fatale lore appears in nearly every culture
From James Bond movies to water spirits in mythology, the tales of attractive, dangerous female forms that distract the hero from his path or lure men to their deaths have been around for quite some time. A recent study revisits ...
Phys.org / Clean energy's nickel rush is heading straight for some of Earth's richest ecosystems
Meeting future nickel demand for stainless steel and clean energy technologies will require tough decisions with potential environmental trade-offs, a new study has found. Dr. Jayden Hyman from The University of Queensland's ...
