Tech Xplore / Mechanically interlocked molecules enhance lithium-metal battery safety and performance
Researchers from the School of Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have pioneered a mechanical bond strategy to create quasi-solid-state electrolytes (QSSEs) for lithium-metal batteries ...
Tech Xplore / AI system with smart eyes detects welding defects
Örebro researchers Rajesh Patil and Professor Magnus Löfstrand have developed an AI system that detects welding defects, reduces material waste, and supports sustainable manufacturing.
Medical Xpress / Across cultures, people combine reference frames to orient themselves
When walking through an unfamiliar city, we might rely on different types of directions. Head east out of the train station, take a left at the stoplight, turn at the building with the mural.
Phys.org / Opera is not dying, but it needs a second act for the streaming era
Every few years, you'll hear a familiar refrain: "Opera is dying."
Phys.org / What air pollution does to the human body
I grew up in rural Colorado, deep in the mountains, and I can still remember the first time I visited Denver in the early 2000s. The city sits on the plain, skyscrapers rising and buildings extending far into the distance. ...
Medical Xpress / To measure the force of TBIs, this lab is building a better brain
The medical consequences of traumatic brain injuries are well-studied and affect millions of Americans every year. But one of the brain's complexities is less explored: how much force from a car crash, explosion or other ...
Phys.org / AI cannot automate science: A philosopher explains the uniquely human aspects of doing research
Consistent with the general trend of incorporating artificial intelligence into nearly every field, researchers and politicians are increasingly using AI models trained on scientific data to infer answers to scientific questions. ...
Medical Xpress / Vitamin B12 clues on cellular metabolism offer hope for new therapies
Vitamin B12 is long understood as a vital nutrient required for red blood cell formation and nerve function, but a new Cornell study suggests its role in human biology is far more intricate, with implications for aging, metabolism ...
Phys.org / World enters 'era of global water bankruptcy': UN scientists formally define new post-crisis reality for billions
Amid chronic groundwater depletion, water overallocation, land and soil degradation, deforestation, and pollution, all compounded by global heating, a UN report today declared the dawn of an era of global water bankruptcy, ...
Phys.org / How cities are changing social behavior in urban animals
Sealed surfaces, artificial light and constant noise: What is part of everyday life for humans poses major challenges for other animals. A new international review conducted by researchers from Bielefeld University now reveals ...
Medical Xpress / HHS announces new study of cellphone radiation and health
U.S. health officials plan a new study investigating whether radiation from cellphones may affect human health.
Phys.org / Capped VLS growth yields vanadium-doped MoS₂ films with superior CO₂-to-CO conversion
CO2 reduction to storable fuels or valuable chemical products provides a carbon-neutral cycle that can mitigate the rapid consumption of fossil fuels and increasing CO2 emissions. Although solar-driven CO2 reduction holds ...
