Phys.org / 'Janus-faced' nanomaterials pave the way for selectively capturing radioactive pollutants
A KAIST research team has succeeded, for the first time, in synthesizing the core raw material for fabricating asymmetric MXene, a so-called "Janus-faced" nanomaterial that can perform distinct functions because of differing ...
Tech Xplore / Monolayer WSe₂ unlocks high-performance p-type transistors that could change how future chips balance speed and power
Transistors, small devices that can amplify or switch electrical signals, are central components of all modern computer chips and digital devices. There are two main types of transistors, known as n-type and p-type transistors.
Medical Xpress / Lower dopamine may drive teen risk-taking that fades with age
Teenage risk-taking, such as experimentation with alcohol, cannabis, nicotine and other substances, may reflect a compensatory response to lower baseline dopamine, the brain chemical for reward activity, a new University ...
Phys.org / AI helps reveal large-scale quantum effects hidden in stacked atomic sheets
Quantum materials are a class of exotic materials with special properties that are governed by quantum mechanics rather than classical physics. Those properties—like superconductivity, entanglement and unusual forms of magnetism—often ...
Phys.org / A look at the SpaceX IPO by the numbers
Elon Musk is all about big numbers—millions, billions, even trillions—and there are plenty of them associated with SpaceX and Musk's plans to take the rocket maker public.
Medical Xpress / Ultraprocessed grains linked to higher risk for developing IBD
Ultraprocessed grain intake is associated with an increased risk for developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), according to a study published in the June issue of the American Journal of Gastroenterology.
Phys.org / Coastal land shifts reveal faster local sea level rise than expected
For almost a century, researchers have known that vertical land motion—the lifting and sinking of the ground—affects sea level locally. As the ground sinks, the sea level rises relative to the land. Scientists also assumed ...
Phys.org / Atlantic 'cold blob' caused by weakening ocean current system that's likely nearing a tipping point, reanalysis finds
A part of the Atlantic Ocean, just south of Greenland and Iceland, has been cooling off while the rest of the world gets hotter. This enigmatic patch is often referred to as the "cold blob" and scientists have been trying ...
Medical Xpress / Programmable wound zipper adapts to complex skin injuries, improving healing in rats
Skin is our protective barrier from the outside world, and it is highly susceptible to damage. To prevent infection, restore protective skin cells, and reduce scarring, it is essential to quickly and robustly close a wound. ...
Phys.org / Global warming hit 1.37°C in 2025, with Earth accumulating heat at an accelerating rate
Strong and consistent evidence shows that the entire climate system is continuing to heat, driving rapid global warming. Human activities pushed global warming to 1.37°C in 2025, and its level is projected to surpass 1.5°C ...
Phys.org / Quantum memory surpasses classical limits for storing unknown quantum operations
Quantum memories, systems that store and retrieve information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, can outperform classical storage systems on some existing tasks. Yet these promising memories could also complete operations ...
Phys.org / Oldest Maya Long Count calendar date may reveal how royalty turned time into power
Archaeologists working at the ancient Maya site of El Palmar in Campeche, Mexico, have discovered what may be the earliest known Long Count calendar date in the Maya lowlands. It is carved into a stone monument and is interpreted ...
