Phys.org / Neutrons reveal magnetic signatures of chiral phonons
Physicists in China have uncovered new evidence that chiral phonons and magnons can interact strongly inside magnetic crystals. Using neutron spectroscopy, a team led by Song Bao at Nanjing University mapped magnetic signatures ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover TOI-5734 b, a hot sub-Neptune twice Earth's size
Using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher for the Northern Hemisphere (HARPS-N), an international team of astronomers has discovered a hot sub-Neptune exoplanet ...
Medical Xpress / Study reveals how antibiotic use during leukemia treatment reshapes the gut microbiome
Patients undergoing intensive chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia are routinely treated with multiple antibiotics to prevent infection, a practice that new research from Texas A&M University shows can significantly reshape ...
Medical Xpress / Review links waterpipe use to 68 CO poisonings, including outdoor and short sessions
Researchers at University of Tsukuba conducted a systematic review of published case reports and case series examining carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning associated with waterpipe tobacco use. The findings have been published ...
Phys.org / Material previously thought to be quantum is actually a new, non-quantum state of matter
Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum computation. But in the quantum realm, things are not always what they seem. A study, published ...
Tech Xplore / Behind the feed: New research explores how social media algorithms shape our digital lives
Every time you scroll, like, or share on a social media platform, an algorithm is watching, learning, and deciding what you see next. But how many of us stop to think about what's actually driving those decisions and what's ...
Phys.org / Most compact quadruple star system yet fits within an area the size of Jupiter's orbit
Astronomers have reported observations of a rare star system consisting of one star orbiting a system of three more tightly bound stars. This quadruple star system is described in a new study, published in Nature Communications, ...
Medical Xpress / UV air filters cut airborne asthma triggers, study finds
Ultraviolet air filters might help rid a person's home of asthma triggers, a new study suggests. Installing one type of UV air filter in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems led to a more than twofold decrease ...
Phys.org / DART images reveal asteroids can toss slow 'cosmic snowballs' between moons
About 15% of asteroids near Earth have small moons orbiting them, making binary asteroid systems common in our cosmic neighborhood.
Phys.org / New species of ancient mollusk found in South Korean waters
Scientists have discovered a new species of chiton, an ancient marine mollusk that has remained virtually unchanged for the last 300 million years. Chitons have an elongated oval shape with a shell composed of eight interlocking ...
Medical Xpress / Harsh parenting may cancel routine's benefits during the preschool-to-first-grade shift
Starting elementary school is a major milestone, but it can be a difficult transition as children can experience separation anxiety or have trouble adapting to school rules and structure. However, a team led by Penn State ...
Medical Xpress / Childhood trauma doesn't determine the future, 12-year study shows
Childhood trauma does not inevitably lead to poor outcomes in adulthood, new research from UNSW Sydney has found—and many people who experience adversity still thrive for decades afterwards.
