Phys.org / Heat wave smashes records across central US
A record-breaking heat wave baked the central United States on Sunday, smashing temperature records from the northern Plains to the Rocky Mountain region.
Science X / Deep inside a desert rock shelter, archaeologists uncovered an Ice Age mystery that refused to stay local for long
A remarkable discovery has been made in an Upper Paleolithic cave in the heart of Israel's rugged Negev Desert. Years after they were last worn, archaeologists dug up fragile seashell beads, still holding specks of ochre ...
Phys.org / Warm Jupiter exoplanet transiting a sun-like star discovered
An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new exoplanet orbiting a sunlike star as part of the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). The newfound alien world, designated NGTS-39 b, is a Jupiter-sized ...
Phys.org / Scientists' credibility depends on audience and perceived motives
A new study from Virginia Tech found that scientists' credibility often hinges on their perceived motivations. "Our study finds that perceptions of scientists' motivation to serve the public good are the strongest predictor ...
Phys.org / Chitosan-based hydrogel membranes as transparent biomaterials for skin regeneration
IMDEA Materials Institute has developed mechanically tunable hydrogel membranes that closely mimic the mechanical environment of human skin while remaining highly biocompatible, representing an improved platform for skin ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers find clue to solving the 'electrical bottleneck' in semiconductors
When the pathways through which electricity flows inside a semiconductor become blocked, device performance declines and power loss increases. A Korean research team has developed a new structure that could resolve this "electrical ...
Tech Xplore / Building out the quantum computing toolkit
Quantum computers lack useful functionality without the right algorithms to facilitate their operation. Currently, there are few simple, standardized operations, known as "primitives," in the quantum toolkit that can help ...
Medical Xpress / Demystifying the molecular mechanisms of general anesthesia
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Birkbeck, University of London, have identified a site where a commonly used anesthetic binds to sodium ion channels, revealing a molecular mechanism that may explain how these drugs ...
Medical Xpress / Novel technology could aid targeted lung cancer treatment
Scientists have developed a new method for accurately predicting gene changes that cause lung cancer, without the need for slower, more expensive lab techniques. The technology was able to identify specific genetic changes ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop AI technology to detect early warning signs of cerebrovascular disease at home
Cerebrovascular disease can lead to serious aftereffects if treatment is delayed, but it is difficult to detect before symptoms appear. KAIST researchers have developed an AI technology that analyzes real-life daily activity ...
Tech Xplore / Ultra-fine bubbles tune drying ink droplets without chemical additives
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University studying inkjet printing have introduced ultra-fine bubbles into ink droplets and showed that their drying behavior can be tuned without additives. They discovered that the shape ...
Medical Xpress / Dementia rising across Latino populations, multidecade study finds
A new study led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Newcastle University in the U.K. finds that the share of adults living with dementia rose substantially across several Latin American ...
