Phys.org / From air to tea: New sensor reveals invisible pollution in minutes
Fine particulate matter in the air or nanoparticles in water—a remarkable new technology developed at TU Wien makes it possible to detect tiny amounts of a wide range of substances in a very short time.
Phys.org / Early deliveries can lower product ratings by 0.2 stars, analysis of 11 million reviews finds
When it comes to package delivery, early isn't always better. A new study published in Production and Operations Management by researchers at the University of Iowa's Tippie College of Business finds that when a package that's ...
Tech Xplore / Needle-tip chip can secure pacemakers and insulin pumps against quantum attacks
As quantum computers advance, they are expected to be able to break tried-and-true security schemes that currently keep most sensitive data secure from attackers. Scientists and policymakers are working to design and implement ...
Tech Xplore / DeepSeek rolls out V4 update with 1 million-token context and stronger reasoning
DeepSeek, the Chinese artificial intelligence startup that shook world markets last year, launched preview versions of its latest major update Friday as the AI rivalry between China and the U.S. heats up.
Tech Xplore / From sun to subsoil, how countries are moving away from fossil fuels
Heating with geothermal energy, lighting with solar panels, cooking with biodegradable waste: how can we live with less oil and gas?
Phys.org / Pressure-tuned quantum spin liquid-like behavior observed in material Y-kapellasite
A quantum spin liquid is a phase of matter in which the magnetic moments in a material do not align or freeze, even at temperatures close to absolute zero (i.e., at 0 K). The experimental realization of this highly dynamic ...
Medical Xpress / Results from COSMOS trial reveals more than 75% of older adults have used complementary therapies
A new study by investigators from Mass General Brigham suggests that complementary health approaches (CHA)—including massage, yoga, tai chi, herbal products, acupuncture, spiritual practices, cannabis and psychedelics—are ...

It was 1972 and Apollo astronauts Harrison "Jack" Schmitt and Eugene Cernan had just stepped onto the moon's surface to begin collecting rock and soil samples.
Tech Xplore / Five things to know about Chinese AI startup DeepSeek
As DeepSeek releases its first major new artificial intelligence model in over a year—DeepSeek-V4—here are five things to know about the Chinese startup:
Medical Xpress / B cells that fight infections may also boost muscle performance during exercise
B cells are white blood cells that form a core part of the body's adaptive immune system, enabling it to recognize specific infections, remember them, and mount a targeted response by producing antibodies. A recent study ...
Tech Xplore / Universal model sets standards for perovskite solar cells
Perovskite solar cells, PSCs, have emerged as one of the most promising renewable energy technologies of the past decade. Besides their remarkable power conversion rates, perovskites are lightweight in nature and can be manufactured ...
Phys.org / Wild Balkan berries keep gin taste steady as climate shifts
As he threaded his way through the scrub in Serbia's southern hills, Slobodan Velickovic stopped to inspect the small indigo berries that have made the Balkans a key part of the global gin industry.
