Phys.org / Twisted trilayer graphene shows high kinetic inductance
Superconductivity is an advantageous physical phenomenon observed in some materials, which entails an electrical resistance of zero below specific critical temperatures. This phenomenon is known to arise following the formation ...
Phys.org / Fossil fungi trapped in amber reveal ancient origin of parasitic zombie-ants
Chinese Academy of Sciences researchers report that fossilized entomopathogenic fungi from mid-Cretaceous amber reveal some of the oldest direct evidence of parasitic relationships between fungi and insects, suggesting that ...
Phys.org / Scientists capture slow-motion earthquake in action
Scientists for the first time have detected a slow slip earthquake in motion during the act of releasing tectonic pressure on a major fault zone at the bottom of the ocean.
Medical Xpress / Injury to specific brain connections could explain some people's criminal behavior, study finds
Over the past decades, some lawyers have started using brain imaging scans as evidence during criminal trials, to provide a possible explanation for the criminal behavior of defendants. This was justified by recent neuroscientific ...
Tech Xplore / New method stores high-density methane in graphene-coated nanoporous carbon
Methane (CH4), one of the most abundant natural gases on Earth, is still widely used to power several buildings and to fuel some types of vehicles. Despite its widespread use, storing and transporting this gas safely remains ...
Phys.org / Japan launches a climate change monitoring satellite on mainstay H2A rocket's last flight
Japan on Sunday successfully launched a climate change monitoring satellite on its mainstay H-2A rocket, which made its final flight before it is replaced by a new flagship model designed to be more cost competitive in the ...
Medical Xpress / Human immune response to pig kidney transplants mapped, identifying early rejection markers
A pioneering study has provided unprecedented insights into the immune response following pig-to-human kidney xenotransplantation. The findings, presented today at the ESOT Congress 2025, mark a significant step forward in ...
Phys.org / Reviving Europe's historical scents—including 'the smell of hell'
Researchers are merging multidisciplinary expertise with AI tools to document, reconstruct and preserve Europe's historical scents.
Phys.org / These Canadian rocks may be the oldest on Earth
Scientists have identified what could be the oldest rocks on Earth from a rock formation in Canada.
Phys.org / Beyond playgrounds: How less structured city spaces can nurture children's creativity and independence
Children's play is essential for their cognitive, physical and social development. But in cities, spaces to play are usually separated, often literally fenced off, from the rest of urban life.
Phys.org / Earth is trapping much more heat than climate models forecast—and the rate has doubled in 20 years
How do you measure climate change? One way is by recording temperatures in different places over a long period of time. While this works well, natural variation can make it harder to see longer-term trends.
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: Upside-down sharks; brain network functioning in psychopaths; IQ associated with better predictions
This week, biologists discovered a new cellular organelle that's like "a new recycling center within the cell." Wild-growing tomatoes in the Galápagos are de-evolving. And geologists at the University of Southampton detected ...
