Phys.org / Chemists snap together complex 3D molecules from highly reactive 'radicals'—without losing their shape
Building the complex 3D molecules needed for new medicines has always been a bit like assembling a puzzle with pieces that keep trying to flip over. Now, chemists at Scripps Research have found a way to snap two such molecular ...
Phys.org / Why this $10 spectrometer chip could bring real-time chemical sensing to wearables
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and GlitterinTech, a startup founded by the same research group, have unveiled a fundamentally new type of optical spectrometer that delivers laboratory-grade precision in a device ...
Tech Xplore / Porous electrode design could lift green hydrogen output by limiting bubble buildup
Hydrogen could be the key to a clean energy future, but a tiny problem has been holding it back: bubbles. In a paper published in Energy & Environmental Science, a multidisciplinary team of UNSW researchers, in collaboration ...
Phys.org / Coastal land shifts reveal faster local sea level rise than expected
For almost a century, researchers have known that vertical land motion—the lifting and sinking of the ground—affects sea level locally. As the ground sinks, the sea level rises relative to the land. Scientists also assumed ...
Tech Xplore / Food waste beads could boost direct air capture by 10% to 50%
In order to stabilize global warming at less than 1.5°C in the long term, there is a need not only for a drastic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions but also for technologies to remove and store hundreds of billions of ...
Phys.org / Third-grade impulses linked to lower academic achievement and education into adulthood
Can your behavior in third grade predict outcomes in high school and beyond? A new study, published in Developmental Psychology, says yes.
Medical Xpress / Natural protein scaffold may speed bone healing by growing blood vessels at same time
For patients suffering from traumatic injuries that leave behind "volumetric" gaps—where significant bone and blood vessels are lost—the clock is always ticking. Without a nearby blood supply, cells in the center of a large ...
Phys.org / Hubble captures galaxy swarm with lensed arcs from early universe
Looking somewhat like a swarm of bees returning to their hive, this NASA Hubble Space Telescope image features the galaxy cluster MACS0329-0211. Galaxy clusters like MACS0329-0211 are important signposts in the story of how ...
Phys.org / Physicists create new family of Schrödinger-cat states
Quantum mechanics, unlike classical physics, allows objects to exist in more than one state at the same time. This idea is often illustrated by Schrödinger's cat, imagined as being both alive and dead until it is observed. ...
Phys.org / How bacteria use acetyl coenzyme as a building block in the formation of cells
Researchers at the University of Greifswald have discovered a new mechanism by which bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis can regulate the production of the central metabolic molecule acetyl coenzyme A (Acetyl-CoA). Acetyl-CoA, ...
Phys.org / New methods make tracking individual bird species during migration possible
Researchers at Cornell Lab of Ornithology, University of Massachusetts and University of Illinois have developed breakthrough methods to track the migration of individual bird species by combining participatory science data ...
Phys.org / Global warming hit 1.37°C in 2025, with Earth accumulating heat at an accelerating rate
Strong and consistent evidence shows that the entire climate system is continuing to heat, driving rapid global warming. Human activities pushed global warming to 1.37°C in 2025, and its level is projected to surpass 1.5°C ...
