Phys.org / Study explores the hedging capability of cryptocurrencies in turbulent markets
The rapid growth of sustainable finance in recent years has fueled interest in green investment, ranging from green bonds and environmental, social and governance (ESG) funds to energy-efficient cryptocurrencies. While these ...
Phys.org / Quantum dots reveal hidden light waves on metal surfaces
Photographs can reveal things that are otherwise impossible for the naked eye to see, be they distant galaxies or microscopic cells. Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed a practical and versatile imaging ...
Phys.org / Unraveling the climate behind the collapse of Bronze Age civilizations
The most severe droughts in the ancient Eastern Mediterranean arose when multiple natural climate cycles coincided, according to a new study from Stockholm University published in Science Advances. The findings shed new light ...
Phys.org / Astronomers catch massive galaxy assembling piece by piece 1.2 billion years after Big Bang
Astronomers have discovered a remarkably tiny group of six young galaxies just 1.2 billion years after the Big Bang. This may be a rare glimpse of how some of the universe's largest galaxies formed. The paper outlining the ...
Phys.org / Cutting out the noise: How horseshoe bats adapt their echolocation behavior in colonies
Imagine searching for a gemstone in a dark cave: You use a flashlight, looking for a rainbow-colored glint in the darkness. Now, imagine 10 other people in the cave with you, using different-colored flashlights at the same ...
Tech Xplore / Wearable patch vibrates when it detects environmental hazards
Researchers have created a wearable patch that can detect hazards in the environment—such as dangerous gases or heavy metals in water—and then notify wearers by vibrating against their skin. The researchers have also extended ...
Medical Xpress / Your gut can get jet lag too: How not to waste the first days of your vacation
A dream vacation, an exotic destination, a long-haul flight and finally some well-deserved rest. The problem is that many travelers arrive at their destination only to spend the first days of their vacation struggling with ...
Phys.org / How did inbred brown tree snakes take over the island of Guam?
If you look up invasive species in a textbook, there's a good chance you'll find a picture of a brown tree snake. Native to Australia and the South Pacific, the brown tree snake arrived on Guam sometime after World War II, ...
Medical Xpress / Spontaneous changes in brain state influence the readiness to form memories, neuroscientists find
Most everyday moments are quickly forgotten, while others stay with us for a lifetime. How the brain determines which memories are retained and which are lost remains an open question.
Medical Xpress / Experimental plague vaccine strategy protects mice with missing key immune defenses
The plague has killed more people than World War II. The bacterium Yersinia pestis (Yp), which causes plague, has triggered three major pandemics throughout history, leaving behind a casualty toll of more than 200 million ...
Phys.org / Rocks from unexplored far side of the moon help rewrite lunar history
Ancient samples from the moon's far side are helping scientists uncover how asteroid impacts shaped the early solar system. The findings challenge decades of thinking about when those impacts occurred and offer new insights ...
Phys.org / Algorithms create foundry-ready photonic circuits
Photonic microchips can process data at extremely high speeds and are embedded in a wide variety of today's technologies. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) and Harvard University have ...
