Phys.org / Controlling magnetic chirality could help memory pack in more data
Magnetic storage devices, like a computer's hard disk drive, utilize magnets to represent binary data. However, as these devices are downsized, stray magnetic fields generated by individual magnetic components can interact ...
Phys.org / Laughter may date back 15 million years, shared by humans and great apes
Humans and great apes have been giggling in similar ways since branching off the evolutionary tree, a new study suggests.
Medical Xpress / Genetic information helps predict the onset and progression of glaucoma
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible visual impairment worldwide. Because the disease often progresses without symptoms for years, many patients are diagnosed only after permanent damage to the optic nerve has already ...
Phys.org / Mini monitor measures artificial heartbeat
An international team, including the University of Tokyo, has created a sensor inspired by the lateral line in fish—their "sixth sense" organ—which measures the pulse of lab-grown 3D heart tissue (cardiac organoids). The ...
Medical Xpress / New targeted therapy shows promising early results in advanced pancreatic cancer
An investigational targeted therapy designed to block one of the most common genetic drivers of pancreatic cancer has shown promising early results when combined with standard first-line chemotherapy, according to research ...
Phys.org / Planned 1.7 million satellites 'devastating' for astronomy: Study
The 1.7 million satellites that companies are aiming to launch into Earth's orbit in the coming years will have "devastating consequences for astronomy," new research warned Wednesday.
