Science X / This citrus‑scented tree oil kept mosquitoes at bay for nearly four hours
Mosquitoes have posed a threat to human beings since time immemorial. They not only disturb sleep by their incessant buzzing but have also been carriers of deadly diseases. In combating the transmission of diseases via mosquitoes, ...
Phys.org / New super strong glue grips non-stick surfaces and wipes away easily
In a research lab at the University of Tokyo, scientists have developed a new kind of glue. It's incredibly strong and highly stretchable, yet it washes away completely with a little alcohol.
Phys.org / How quantum circuits based on neutral atoms could find and fix errors
Quantum computers, devices that process information by leveraging the laws of quantum mechanics, have been found to outperform classical computers in some advanced tasks. Instead of storing information in the form of classical ...
Phys.org / Florida bloom toxins turn up in air, suggesting inhalation risk beyond shorelines
Research on Southwest Florida cyanobacterial blooms shows that the toxins they produce are aerosolized and potentially inhaled by people far from contaminated water bodies.
Tech Xplore / China's Kimi K3 rattles US AI industry
Kimi K3, a new artificial intelligence program from a Chinese startup called Moonshot AI, stunned the U.S. tech industry on Friday, setting off fresh discussion over the China–U.S. rivalry to dominate AI.
Phys.org / NASA's Psyche mission delivers Mars flyby data, time-lapse video
The spacecraft aced its encounter with Mars. Now, mission scientists are studying a trove of data from the flyby in preparation for its arrival at asteroid Psyche in 2029.
Phys.org / How virtual reality can transform behavioral science and enhance reproducibility
In a new paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team of 41 authors from around the globe argue that virtual reality has the potential to do the same for behavioral science and help solve ...
Tech Xplore / Tin oxide replaces scarce indium in solar mini-module, bringing cheaper clean energy closer to market
An international team of researchers has built the first high-performance, commercial-size tandem solar cell that doesn't rely on the scarce and expensive metal indium. The breakthrough, published in Science, replaces indium-based ...
Phys.org / AI unlocks QLED recipe that doubles efficiency and boosts lifetime 40-fold
A technology has been developed that allows artificial intelligence to inversely determine the process conditions for quantum-dot light-emitting diode (QLED) devices—conditions that previously required extensive trial and ...
Tech Xplore / 3D-printed bridge points the way to greener construction
Concrete is the most widely used building material on Earth, and producing it is one of the largest single sources of carbon emissions. One promising way to reduce its environmental footprint is to 3D-print concrete, laying ...
Phys.org / Seasonal gene switch locks fruit flies in winter mode
Researchers at Washington State University have discovered a molecular "winter lock" that keeps animals in a less active winter state until favorable conditions return, a discovery that could improve pest control and lead ...
Phys.org / Students create chemical safety model for everyday exposures
In just one course, Georgia Tech student Diya Godavarti helped develop a tool that could improve workers' responses to chemical spills or open containers. Godavarti, then a second-year chemical and biomolecular engineering ...
