Phys.org / 2D memristors could help solve AI's energy problem
New generations of memristors could reliably store information directly within the molecular structures of graphene-like materials. In a new review published in Nanoenergy Advances, Gennady Panin of the Russian Academy of ...
Phys.org / Why crowning the protein that makes jellyfish glow green as a model can help scientists streamline biology
Fruit flies, mice, zebrafish, yeast and the tiny worm C. elegans are model organisms that have carried modern biology on their backs.
Medical Xpress / What is a 'cancer gene'? How genetic mutations lead to cancer
An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, change what they do and ...
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: T. Rex on tiptoe; subduing unruly proteins; opinionated birds
This week, astronomers reported that one of the biggest observed stars in the universe could soon explode. A study compared long-term COVID-19 brain effects to the flu. And a new eco-friendly battery could theoretically last ...
Phys.org / Women more likely to choose wine from female winemakers
Promoting women's ownership in wineries can boost sales among the largest group of U.S. wine consumers, who happen to be women. Messages like "proudly made by a woman winemaker" increased women's intentions of purchasing ...
Phys.org / Hotspots of accelerated North American bird decline linked to agricultural activity
Though previous research has shown that bird populations are declining across North America, a new study is the first to show that the pace of loss has picked up speed since the mid-1980s in three regions: the Midwest, California ...
Tech Xplore / A new eco-friendly water battery could theoretically last for centuries
The problem with many types of modern batteries is that they rely on harsh chemicals to work. Not only can these corrosive liquids damage internal parts over time, but they can also leach into soil and water when disposed ...
Phys.org / Sea urchin spines inspire self-powered underwater sensors
Nature does it again! The natural world has a knack for giving us the blueprints for some useful technologies, and the humble sea urchin is the latest contributor. Scientists have designed a new class of smart sensors by ...
Phys.org / Energy loss triggers quantum thermal Hall-like effect at macroscopic scale
In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are essentially quantized energy ...
Medical Xpress / Dry eye often precedes autoimmune disease diagnosis, new study finds
Frequent dry eyes may signal more than simple irritation and could be an early warning sign of an autoimmune disease. This symptom has long been associated with Sjögren's Disease, a chronic autoimmune condition in which ...
Phys.org / Bronze Age mines in Spain may explain origin of Scandinavian bronze
During an archaeological survey conducted in February, researchers from the Maritime Encounters program at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, identified six previously unregistered Bronze Age mines in Extremadura, southwestern ...
Medical Xpress / Ivermectin was touted as a cure for COVID, now it's being tested for cancer. But what can it actually treat?
Ivermectin was originally celebrated as a revolutionary treatment for parasitic disease in humans and animals. It has since evolved into a focal point of misinformation and heated debate.
