Phys.org / X-pinch plasma achieves radial proton acceleration for crisp imaging
Plasma pinches: From pursuits of nuclear fusion to an attractive point source of accelerated protons for proton radiography.
Phys.org / New probe could help trace Alzheimer's-linked lipids one cell at a time
Cells sitting side by side in the same tissues are not identical. Each cell carries its own subtly different chemical signature—a hidden individuality that can reveal how diseases take root and spread. Now, researchers from ...
Phys.org / Caddisfly silk gene evolves quickly without losing adhesive power
Caddisflies are among nature's master underwater builders, capable of spinning sticky silk that they use to form protective cases and webs in freshwater streams. Scientists like the University of Utah's Russell Stewart have ...
Medical Xpress / Food insecurity linked to choice of telehealth abortion
Individuals seeking abortion face considerable challenges, including high costs, logistical difficulties such as travel and dependent care, and fear of stigma. In recent years, access to care has improved through telehealth ...
Phys.org / New deep-sea measurements show how the ocean floor forms
The first-known direct observations of a seafloor spreading event at a mid-ocean ridge in the Indian Ocean are presented in Nature. The observations offer insight into how new oceanic crust is created.
Tech Xplore / Programmable metasurface generates dozens of holograms at once
Over the past few decades, engineers have developed various devices that can create holograms, three-dimensional (3D) or two-dimensional (2D) images produced by precisely controlling the shape and direction of traveling light ...
Phys.org / Wavelength-multiplexed diffractive optical storage enables massively parallel image retrieval
The explosive growth of data generated by artificial intelligence, cloud computing and modern digital infrastructure is placing increasing pressure on existing information storage technologies. Although magnetic storage systems ...
Phys.org / Astronomers dig deep to find tiny dangerous space debris
In a new study, published in the Journal of the Astronautical Sciences, Warwick researchers led an international effort to uncover some of the faintest debris in geosynchronous orbit ever observed, finding fragments as small ...
Tech Xplore / To defend your software, first teach AI to break it
When Ying Zhang was a doctoral student at Virginia Tech, she spent years learning to think like an attacker—probing software for the hidden weaknesses that developers miss and malicious actors exploit.
Medical Xpress / The secret of human intelligence may lie in the power of a single brain cell
What makes the human brain capable of language, imagination, mathematics and invention? For many years, the prevailing view was that the secret of human intelligence lay mainly in scale: the sheer number of neurons in the ...
Phys.org / Early parenting shapes the brain and socio-sexual behavior, rodent study shows
Past psychology studies have consistently highlighted the importance of social bonds for survival, showing that enduring relationships are linked with a longer life expectancy, a more resilient immune system, better cardiovascular ...
Phys.org / Parents direct more threats toward school administrators than teachers
In K–12 schools across the country, administrators are tasked with keeping everyone safe. New research shows they may be the most in need of protection.
