Phys.org / Quasi-1D material unlocks electric control of charge waves beyond standard limits
The ability to control the movement of negatively charged particles (i.e., electrons) is central to the functioning of all modern electronic devices. This control is typically attained using a gate, an electrode via which ...
Medical Xpress / Microplastics may worsen fatty liver disease, new study suggests
Microplastics—minuscule pieces of plastic broken down from larger plastic waste—are a growing concern for human health, especially for the liver. A study from the University of Oklahoma, published in Science Advances, demonstrates ...
Phys.org / Desert field test with NASA advanced rover prototype
A prototype four-wheel rover developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory with advanced mobility and robotic autonomy capabilities trundled across the Colorado Desert near Plaster City, California, during a field test in ...
Phys.org / Molecular fossils reveal secrets of Earth's recovery from ancient global warming event
Scientists have uncovered new evidence from one of Earth's most extreme ancient warming events, revealing how the climate may recover long after human-driven CO2 emissions cease.
Phys.org / Flipped quantum interference unlocks clearer gluon maps from near-miss nuclear encounters
Scientists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) usually capture what happens when atomic nuclei smash into one another at nearly the speed of light. But even when the nuclei don't collide, ...
Medical Xpress / Global clinical trial reveals safest, most effective antibiotics for golden staph bloodstream infections
An international clinical trial has identified the optimal antibiotics for golden staph bloodstream infections, a breakthrough set to reshape treatment for the life-threatening condition. The SNAP Trial found that the standard ...
Medical Xpress / AI screens 6 million compounds to uncover two leads against drug-resistant gonorrhea
With tens of millions of annual cases, gonorrhea is the second most frequently reported sexually transmitted infection (STI). In the U.S. alone, more than 600,000 cases are reported each year. If left untreated, gonorrhea ...
Phys.org / Excessive Instagram use could erode our sense of self, altering the perception of our bodies
Instagram use could influence not only how we see our bodies, but also how our brain perceives the bodies we inhabit as "ours." In short, it could erode our sense of self to the point of no longer recognizing ourselves in ...
Phys.org / Atlantic and Pacific may follow different rules on long-term warming, analysis shows
Florida State University researchers have identified key differences in the root causes of long-term sea-surface temperature changes across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, a finding that could help guide future research ...
Phys.org / A 19-year 'goldmine' of mountain cloud and rainwater samples provides fresh insights about air pollution
Rainfall history is just as critical to predicting air pollution as where the air came from, a team led by University of Michigan Engineering researchers, in collaboration with scientists at the Appalachian Mountain Club ...
Phys.org / NASA mission to study space weather impacts of Earth's atmosphere
NASA selected a mission concept to research how space weather and dynamics within Earth's atmosphere influence the space environment and help improve prediction capabilities for impacts on crucial technology, such as GPS ...
Phys.org / Supernova origins explored through primordial black holes
Dr. Shing-Chi Leung, assistant professor of physics at SUNY Polytechnic Institute, has published the article "Primordial Black Hole Triggered Type Ia Supernovae II: Comparison with Supernova Remnants and Galactic Chemical ...
