Phys.org / Study shows that anti-Muslim prejudice is rooted in nativist and authoritarian attitudes, not Christian belief
Islamophobia in Western Europe is driven far more by anti-immigrant nativism and authoritarian attitudes than by religious belief, new research from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) shows.
Phys.org / New p-wave magnet with helix spin structure could enable smaller computer chips
A novel magnetic material with an extraordinary electronic structure might allow for the production of smaller and more efficient computer chips in the future: the p-wave magnet. Researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology ...
Phys.org / Manufacturing the world's tiniest light-emitting diodes
Miniaturization ranks as the driving force behind the semiconductor industry. The tremendous gains in computer performance since the 1950s are largely due to the fact that ever smaller structures can be manufactured on silicon ...
Phys.org / Mapping our deep-rooted relationship with medicinal plants
Long before modern pharmaceuticals, our ancestors turned to plants to find cures for ailments from infections to parasites to fevers. A new study by Harvard researchers reveals the deep roots of that relationship: Several ...
Tech Xplore / A new route to optimize AI hardware: Homodyne gradient extraction
A team led by the BRAINS Center for Brain-Inspired Computing at the University of Twente has demonstrated a new way to make electronic materials adapt in a manner comparable to machine learning. Their study, published in ...
Phys.org / Antarctic mountains could boost ocean carbon absorption as ice sheets thin
Research led by polar scientists from Northumbria University has revealed new hope in natural environmental systems found in East Antarctica which could help mitigate the overall rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere over ...
Phys.org / X-ray technique captures footage of crystals growing in liquid metal
Researchers have successfully grown platinum crystals in liquid metal, using a powerful X-ray technique giving rare insight into how these delicate crystals form and grow.
Phys.org / Record-setting charge mobility in germanium-silicon material points to energy-saving quantum chips
Most modern semiconductors are fabricated of or on silicon (Si), but as devices get smaller and denser, they dissipate more power and, as a result, are reaching their physical limits. Germanium (Ge)—once used in the first ...
Phys.org / Cosmic dust vital for sparking life in space, study suggests
Tiny particles of space dust could be vital for creating the complex molecules needed for life more quickly, scientists say.
Medical Xpress / Doctors still outperform AI in clinical reasoning, study shows
AI may ace multiple-choice medical exams, but it still stumbles when faced with changing clinical information, according to research in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Medical Xpress / Five key blood proteins may reveal hidden danger of early death
Elevated levels of five proteins in our blood can help predict risk of mortality, a new study from the University of Surrey finds. Scientists believe the proteins (PLAUR, SERPINA3, CRIM1, DDR1 and LTBP2), that play key roles ...
Phys.org / How cancer cells tolerate missing chromosomes
A hallmark of cancerous cells is an abnormal number of chromosomes or chromosome arms, known as aneuploidy. While aneuploidy is detrimental to regular cells, it occurs in as many as 90% of tumors. How cancer cells tolerate ...
