Tech Xplore / Overlooked 'in-between' materials could reshape solar fuel and battery design
Researchers have identified previously unknown materials, including a new form of a widely studied clean-energy material, by carefully controlling and tracking how molecular precursors break down during heating.
Medical Xpress / What is lipoprotein(a) cholesterol, or Lp(a)? And can you lower yours?
Most people know about "good" and "bad" cholesterol. But few realize there is another type called lipoprotein(a). It can raise the risk of heart attacks and strokes, even in people who do everything right.
Tech Xplore / Motion-enhanced sensor captures ultra-high-resolution images, overcoming a pixel miniaturization bottleneck
Digital image sensors (DIS), devices that capture images by converting light patterns into electrical signals, are integrated in many contemporary electronic devices, including smartphones, digital cameras and some medical ...
Phys.org / Western US is fending off more fires before they start—and still getting hit by its biggest blazes yet
The number of wildfires burning in the Western United States each year dropped roughly 28% over the past three decades, even as annual burned area and damage from wildfires have soared. A decline in fires accidentally sparked ...
Phys.org / US–Indian space mission maps extreme subsidence in Mexico City
One of the most powerful radar systems ever launched into space has mapped the ground moving beneath one of the fastest subsiding capitals in the world: Mexico City. The findings show how quickly and reliably the NISAR (NASA-ISRO ...
Science X / They won't just follow orders: Robot swarms could gain a startling new kind of autonomy
Robot swarms are systems composed of many simple robots that coordinate without central control. Soon, they could be radically transformed by artificial intelligence. A new article published in Science Robotics by researchers ...
Phys.org / Frozen in dry ice, hydrogen reveals a surprisingly simple way to control quantum behavior
A new study by University of Maryland chemical physicists demonstrates how to control the nuclear spin of molecular hydrogen (H2) by simply freezing it in dry ice. This new technique, published in the journal Physical Review ...
Phys.org / 'A study showed…' isn't enough—scientific knowledge builds incrementally as researchers revisit questions
Your goofy but lovable cousin just told you that you should stop eating eggs because he read somewhere that a study showed they are bad for you. How much should you trust your relative on such matters? More importantly, how ...
Phys.org / Sentinel-1D goes live: A milestone for Europe's radar mission
The Copernicus Sentinel-1D satellite, launched last November, is now fully operational after successfully completing its critical in-orbit commissioning phase. With all four Sentinel-1 satellites having now been deployed, ...
Phys.org / Drone radar reveals buried glaciers on Earth, guiding the search for water on Mars
Understanding how to explore hidden glaciers on Mars begins not in a laboratory, but in remote field camps across Alaska and Wyoming.
Medical Xpress / First psychiatric admission marks the beginning of a long-term illness for most patients
Only a very small number of people never return to psychiatric services after being admitted once. That is the conclusion of a new study from the University of Copenhagen, which followed 150 young people for 20 years after ...
Phys.org / Researchers create DNA 'nano-rings' to control viral cell proteins
Scientists at Durham University, working in partnership with Jagiellonian University in Poland, have developed a new nanoscale tool that can capture and precisely position some of the most important proteins in the human ...
