Phys.org / Two-color light steers electrons through graphene's transient topological state
The electronic properties of materials are typically determined by their structure under normal, undisturbed conditions, when they are in a state known as equilibrium. Intense light beams, however, can temporarily reshape ...
Medical Xpress / Newborn girls and boys show different attention patterns within hours of birth
Cambridge scientists have shown that girls and boys differ in what they pay attention to, even at birth. Since these differences are present so early, it is possible they emerge due to prenatal factors. The findings suggest ...
Medical Xpress / Gene map reveals how transplanted stem cells repair damaged heart muscle
Researchers led by Assistant Professor Lynn Yap of the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, have uncovered new insights into how unspecialized cells, also known as stem cells, ...
Medical Xpress / Restoring brain immune balance opens new avenue for Alzheimer's treatment
Professor Minah Suh of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University, in collaboration with the biotechnology company IMNEWRUN and Professor Ho-Keun Kwon's team at Yonsei University College of Medicine, ...
Phys.org / Satellites show Earth lost more than 12 trillion tons of ice from Greenland, Antarctica in 47 years
About 12.5 trillion tons (11.3 trillion metric tons) of ice from glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica have melted since 1979, which is enough frozen water to stack ice 5 feet (1.5 meters) deep across the continental United ...
Phys.org / Lemur uses opera singer's trick to belt out forest songs
We are often left open-mouthed in awe as an opera singer hits a soaring top note. Now, researchers at the University of Warwick have found that the indri, the world's only known singing lemur, appears to use a strikingly ...
Phys.org / AI-powered barcode unmasks 'zombie cells' in aging tissue
As we age, some of the cells in our body enter a state of senescence, in which they stop dividing but do not die. Those senescent cells can contribute to age-related disorders such as cancer, tissue degeneration and inflammatory ...
Medical Xpress / Social context matters when studying the genetics of social behavior
Social behavior is heritable but heterogeneous. A mother reporting on her toddler learning to share, a teacher observing a schoolchild navigating friendships and peer relations, and a teenager describing their own social ...
Phys.org / Environmental science takes an average of seven years to influence international policy, study finds
A new study led by the University of Alicante (UA) and the Mediterranean Center for Environmental Studies (CEAM) analyzes the barriers separating scientific knowledge from environmental policy and its effective implementation. ...
Medical Xpress / Sugar exposure in early life linked to anxiety in adulthood
Exposure to sugar in the first 1,000 days of a child's life increases the risk of developing anxiety in adulthood, according to a new study from the University of Surrey published in Translational Psychiatry. Scientists also ...
Phys.org / Quantum communication protocol enables three users to establish a shared secure key
Quantum key distribution allows two users to establish secret keys whose security is grounded in the laws of quantum mechanics. Extending this capability to multiple users is an essential step toward quantum networks that ...
Dialog / Photonic Legos of functional 3D thin-films unlock high-performance heterogeneous photonic integration
Photonic integrated circuits route information with optical signals instead of relying only on electrical currents. Silicon (Si) and silicon nitride (SiNx) are excellent photonic platforms for waveguides, but they cannot ...
