Phys.org / Collective vibrations unlock fast ion flow in superionic crystals
In the race to develop safer, faster-charging solid-state batteries and more efficient thermoelectric conversion technologies, engineers and scientists have long faced a fundamental challenge: how to ensure ions move through ...
Phys.org / Tiny on-chip circuit could power next-generation quantum and AI technologies
Researchers from Monash University have developed a breakthrough nanoscale circuit that can generate, direct, and read light-based information, all on a single chip.
Phys.org / New three‑dimensional magnetic structure discovered with laser light
Flashes of femtosecond laser light, lasting just a few trillionths of a second, have made it possible to observe new magnetic structures for the first time. By using light as a remote control, researchers were able to switch ...
Medical Xpress / Whole organ 3D imaging reveals remaining insulin producing cells in type 1 diabetes
Researchers at Umeå University have conducted a unique three-dimensional mapping of an entire human pancreas. The study shows that insulin-producing cells can remain long after the onset of type 1 diabetes—a finding that ...
Phys.org / Metal-free method unlocks selective carborane editing for cancer therapy and sensors
Carboranes are molecules composed of carbon, boron and hydrogen atoms that are proving to have applications of great interest in chemistry, materials science and biomedicine. They are being used, for example, in the fight ...
Tech Xplore / '5-in-1' seed-sized surgical robot switches tools in under one second
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a tiny seed-sized robot that can navigate across soft and uneven surfaces to perform five surgical functions wirelessly, paving the ...
Phys.org / Microcrystals in bioluminescent fish scatter light like a prism
Approximately 75% of marine organisms are bioluminescent, with specialized light-emitting organs called photophores. They use the light they produce for various purposes, like attracting mates, luring prey, or confusing predators.
Medical Xpress / Magnet-guided soft robots could lead to safer treatment of life-threatening blood clots
Researchers at Concordia have developed an AI-assisted technique and a robotic platform that may one day help surgeons perform safer, faster and less invasive procedures to treat conditions such as blood clots located deep ...
Medical Xpress / How a distinct communication subspace in the brain turns goals into actions
Humans continuously adapt their actions and behaviors in response to changes in their surrounding environment. Past neuroscience studies suggest that this adaptation process relies on the brain's ability to translate abstract ...
Phys.org / Lost elephant calf reunites with family after researchers track herd across Samburu reserve
Colorado State University Professor George Wittemyer and his research team reunited a 4-month-old elephant calf with her family after she wandered into a tourist camp alone. The orphaned elephant calf was disoriented from ...
Phys.org / Tiny sesame sea slug species discovered in the waters of northern Taiwan
Translucent, speckled, and barely the size of a grain of rice, a new species of sea slug has been identified in the coastal waters of Keelung, Taiwan. Because of its minute size and distinctive black and yellow markings, ...
Medical Xpress / Memory decline after menopause linked to loss of estrogen production in brain tissue
A largely overlooked space between cells in women's brains may hold the key to understanding memory loss tied to estrogen decline after menopause, reports a new preclinical Northwestern Medicine study.
