Phys.org / Risks of solar storms may be underestimated, warn researchers
The effects of extreme space weather may be larger than previously thought, research in the journal Nature reveals. The paper, titled "Regression to the mean can explain saturation of geomagnetic storms," is led by Dr. Nithin ...
Phys.org / Quantum currents turn a nano 'soccer ball' into a powerful molecular electromagnet
Driving an electric current through a molecule can create a magnetic field. Yet in practice, such fields are often too weak to be detected experimentally. Through theoretical modeling, researchers at the Institute of Science ...
Phys.org / Antarctic change drives slowdown of global ocean circulation
New Antarctic research shows the deepest layer of the Southern Ocean is shrinking faster than scientists realized, with the rate of change accelerating over the past decade. This is of worldwide significance because as it ...
Tech Xplore / AI-run lab discovers six 3D-printable alloys for extreme heat
Using AI-driven materials design, a team of researchers at the University of Toronto Engineering has discovered a new set of metal alloys that retain their strength under extreme conditions.
Medical Xpress / Loneliness strongly linked to poorer mental health and well-being, study finds
People who feel lonely are much more likely to experience poorer mental health and lower well-being, a new collaborative study led by the University of Bristol, Nesta and Amsterdam UMC has found. Loneliness was also found ...
Medical Xpress / Rapid magnetic brain stimulation eases depression within days, but benefits fade within weeks
Despite decades of advances in mental health care, depression remains one of the world's most disabling conditions. Many people with major depressive disorder (MDD) fail to find lasting relief from antidepressants or psychological ...
Phys.org / Direct observation of spontaneous magnon coherence at room temperature
Researchers at RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau have achieved a key experimental breakthrough: For the first time, the spontaneous macroscopic coherence of magnons—the quantized excitations of magnetic materials—has ...
Phys.org / Sensitive measurements uncover dual superconducting states in atom-thin NbSe₂ and TaS₂
A new study reveals that two widely studied ultrathin superconducting materials are more sophisticated than they appear. Although they seem to behave like simple superconductors with a single energy gap, they actually contain ...
Medical Xpress / Ketogenic diets may increase cancer risk in the small intestine
A high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet, also called a ketogenic diet, can help some people lose weight by forcing their bodies to burn fat for fuel instead of sugar.
Phys.org / Nanoscale gaps reveal new design rule for atom-thin chips and memory
Researchers at the College of Design and Engineering at the National University of Singapore have identified a key design principle for building reliable electronics from materials only one atomic layer thick, giving engineers ...
Phys.org / Stealth anticancer nanoparticles made from mussel proteins that 'lie in wait and attack only cancer cells'
Pancreatic cancer is considered one of the deadliest cancers because it is often diagnosed late and is difficult to treat. However, a South Korean research team has developed "smart nanoparticles" that remain hidden in normal ...
Phys.org / New study pinpoints Europe's most critical wetlands for climate action
Wetlands have shaped human life in Europe since ancient times. These ecosystems provided essential resources and safe havens for plants and animals, and in many regions they also held spiritual and ritual significance. For ...
