Phys.org / Some small asteroids can abruptly explode
Some asteroids are more dangerous than others, according to a report published in Nature Astronomy by an international team of researchers, led by astrophysicist Auriane Egal of the Montreal Planetarium in Canada. The team ...
Medical Xpress / Rhythmic yoga breathing produces measurable brain activity linked to deep relaxation
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, in collaboration with Sri Sri Institute of Advanced Research and Fortis Escort Heart Institute, report that rhythmic breathing in Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) produces ...
Phys.org / An incredible comeback: Chicago River fish populations show signs of recovery as 24 species spawn
A research paper authored by a researcher at Shedd Aquarium and published in Journal of Great Lakes Research assesses the fish species that spawn in the Chicago River to sustain and support resilient, biodiverse fish populations. ...
Medical Xpress / Antipsychotic-treated patients with schizophrenia see benefits from semaglutide, study claims
A multicenter collaboration of Danish researchers reports that once-weekly semaglutide for 30 weeks lowered blood sugar levels and body weight and improved physical quality of life in antipsychotic-treated adults with schizophrenia ...
Tech Xplore / Sodium-based battery design maintains performance at room and subzero temperatures
All-solid-state batteries are safe, powerful ways to power EVs and electronics and store electricity from the energy grid, but the lithium used to build them is rare, expensive and can be environmentally devastating to extract.
Phys.org / Ubiquitin's ability to tag synthetic compounds offers new path to drug discovery
Small but powerful: Ubiquitin controls the lifespan and distribution of proteins in the cell, but it can also determine their shape, function, or interactions with other cellular components. Ubiquitin ligases are key to this ...
Tech Xplore / Cotton-based methanol fuel cells could power future flexible electronics
Cotton-based fiber fuel cells can now convert methanol into electricity while sustaining peak power density through 2,000 continuous flex cycles. This breakthrough paves the way for safe, high-performance power sources for ...
Phys.org / New radio halo discovered with MeerKAT
Using the MeerKAT radio telescope, an international team of astronomers has performed observations of a galaxy cluster designated SPT-CLJ2337−5942. The observational campaign revealed the presence of an ultra-steep spectrum ...
Phys.org / Single-shot laser technique captures plasma evolution at 100 billion frames per second
Plasma, ionized gas and the fourth state of matter, makes up over 99% of the ordinary matter in the universe. Understanding its properties is critical for developing fusion energy sources, modeling astrophysical objects like ...
Phys.org / Color-changing organogel stretches 46 times its size and self-heals
Scientists from Taiwan have developed a new material that can stretch up to 4,600% of its original length before breaking. Even if it does break, gently pressing the pieces together at room temperature allows it to heal, ...
Phys.org / Single device amplifies signals while shielding qubits from unwanted noise
Quantum computing, an approach to deriving information that leverages quantum mechanical effects, relies on qubits, quantum units of information that can exist in superpositions of states. To effectively perform quantum computing, ...
Medical Xpress / Study identifies genetic loci that link brain structure and various psychiatric disorders
The development of many psychiatric disorders, including depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, is known to be in great part influenced by genetics. Past research has identified various genes that appear to be associated ...
