When, on 10 February 2025, United States President Donald Trump signed the executive order suspending the enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), companies previously involved in overseas corruption cases ...
Phys.org / Meet NASA's Artemis Closeout Crew, tasked with securing astronauts in their spacecraft
For most, getting into a car is a task that can be done without assistance. Yet for those whose destination is the moon, the process of getting inside and secured—in this case, in NASA's Orion spacecraft—requires help. ...
Medical Xpress / Locally brewed alcohol and chewing tobacco drive 62% of mouth cancer cases in India, study suggests
Even a low daily intake of alcohol—just 9 g or around one standard drink—is linked to a 50% heightened risk of mouth (buccal mucosa) cancer in India, with the greatest risk associated with locally brewed alcohol, finds ...
Phys.org / Statistical method developed for single-molecule fluorescence analysis
An interdisciplinary team of University of Tennessee, Knoxville researchers recently published in Biophysical Journal on their development of a new statistical method that improves analysis in single-molecule fluorescence ...
Tech Xplore / Ultra-low power, fully biodegradable artificial synapse offers record-breaking memory
In Nature Communications, a research team affiliated with UNIST present a fully biodegradable, robust, and energy-efficient artificial synapse that holds great promise for sustainable neuromorphic technologies. Made entirely ...
Phys.org / Russia's plans for a space station include 'recycling' its ISS modules
With the International Space Station (ISS) set to retire in 2030, several nations and commercial space companies have plans to deploy their own successor stations. This includes China, which plans to double the size of its ...
Phys.org / Merging nanopores with nanofluidic devices could transform medicine and diagnostics
When disease begins forming inside the human body, something subtle happens long before symptoms appear. Individual molecules such as DNA, RNA, peptides, or proteins begin shifting in quantity or shape. Detecting these tiny ...
Phys.org / Research reinvents MXene synthesis at a fraction of the cost
MXenes (pronounced like the name "Maxine") are a class of two-dimensional materials, first identified just 14 years ago, with remarkable potential for energy storage, catalysts, ultrastrong lightweight composites, and a variety ...
Phys.org / Ecological myopia: The blind spot holding back climate action
Global debate about how to navigate the climate crisis often centers on high-level pledges and whether national targets are being met. Yet focusing on these technical outcomes obscures a deeper problem that keeps climate ...
Tech Xplore / Multi-agent AI could change everything—if researchers can figure out the risks
You might have seen headlines sounding the alarm about the safety of an emerging technology called agentic AI.
Tech Xplore / Vapor-deposition method delivers unprecedented durability in perovskite–silicon tandem solar cells
NUS researchers have developed a vapor-deposition method that dramatically improves the long-term and high-temperature stability of perovskite-silicon (Si) tandem solar cells. The findings were published in Science.
Phys.org / How mountain building and climate change have shaped alpine biodiversity over 30 million years
In a study published in Science Advances on December 19, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators from international institutions, explored ...
