Phys.org / Scientists develop predictive roadmap to boost performance in next-gen spintronics
Chiral 2D metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are among the most promising materials for future technologies that exploit the spin of electrons in spin-based optoelectronics, or spintronics, but getting them to perform consistently ...
Tech Xplore / Ferroelectric memory enables one chip to sample randomness and compute for generative AI
For the first time, a research team has demonstrated an artificial intelligence semiconductor technology that integrates the core functions of generative AI into a single device platform based on ferroelectric memory. This ...
Phys.org / Sponges may cut methylmercury contamination in marine food webs by more than 50%
Marine sponges may play an important, previously underestimated role in reducing methylmercury contamination in marine food webs. In a new modeling study, researchers at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon showed that sponges can significantly ...
Medical Xpress / New oral GLP-1 drug delivers up to 12% weight loss in 36 weeks
A new strategy for delivering GLP-1 drugs to patients with obesity or who were overweight resulted in up to a 12% reduction in body weight after 36 weeks, according to a randomized phase II clinical trial published in Nature ...
Phys.org / New insight into how cells move copper out of the mitochondrial matrix could guide novel treatments
Copper is essential for life. Our cells need the metal to make energy and stay healthy, but if it is in the wrong place or present in excess, copper can be deadly. Texas A&M AgriLife Research scientists have identified a ...
Phys.org / Long-dismissed gas emerges as a hidden driver of urban air pollution
Researchers from Tampere University and the University of Helsinki have identified an unexpected chemical process that may influence the formation of air pollution particles in urban environments. The study shows that nitric ...
Phys.org / Mathematicians unleash multifold speed boost for supercomputer simulations of molecules
More than 20% of the workload on the world's 500 fastest supercomputers is spent simulating how atoms and molecules move—with applications ranging from material design to identifying drug interactions to understanding protein ...
Phys.org / Participatory theater helps young people become active citizens
In Estonian schools, social studies classes provide a thorough education on what democracy is and what it means to be a citizen. However, knowledge alone is not enough to foster active citizenship or reduce the differences ...
Phys.org / AI reads 3D tooth microwear to reconstruct diets of early human ancestors
The study of dental microwear allows the analysis of the microscopic marks that foods leave on the surface of tooth enamel during mastication. In paleoanthropology, this methodology helps reconstruct the diet of fossil primates ...
Phys.org / Moose are native to Colorado, study shows
The modern Colorado moose is often considered just that: modern—brought to the state by wildlife officials in the late 1970s, preceded by very occasional reports of moose sightings in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Phys.org / Proactive employees with high emotional intelligence do a better job, study finds
In many organizations, large hierarchical gaps exist within work teams, raising the question of how frontline employees can strive for upward mobility in their careers. A recent study by the Department of Psychology at Lingnan ...
Phys.org / Turtles may migrate using Earth's magnetic field
New research indicates that sea turtles seem to navigate across hundreds of miles of open ocean using Earth's magnetic field. Previous experimental studies suggested that sea turtles use geomagnetism to navigate, but this ...
