Tech Xplore / Laser-assisted 3D printing can fabricate free-standing thermoset-based electronics in seconds
Thermosets, such as epoxy and silicon rubbers, are a class of polymer (i.e., plastic) materials that harden permanently when they undergo a specific chemical reaction, known as "crosslinking." These materials are highly durable, ...
Phys.org / Carbon monoxide, the 'silent killer,' becomes a boon for fuel cell catalysts
Researchers have developed a technology that uses carbon monoxide, typically harmful to humans, to precisely control metal thin films at a thickness of 0.3 nanometers. This technology enables faster and simpler production ...
Phys.org / Detecting strong-to-weak symmetry breaking might be impossible, study shows
When a system undergoes a transformation, yet an underlying physical property remains unchanged, this property is referred to as "symmetry." Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) occurs when a system breaks out of this symmetry ...
Phys.org / Euclid dataset of a million galaxies proves connection between galaxy mergers and AGN
Astronomers have long debated the role of galaxy mergers in powering active supermassive black holes. Now an unprecedented dataset of a million galaxies from the Euclid telescope provides evidence that mergers play a dominant ...
Phys.org / Historical geography helps researchers solve 2,700-year old eclipse mystery
An international team of researchers has used knowledge of historical geography to reexamine the earliest datable total solar eclipse record known to the scientific community, enabling accurate measurements of Earth's variable ...
Phys.org / Flood risks in delta cities are increasing, Shanghai study finds
New research shows how the combination of extreme climate events, sea-level rise and land subsidence could create larger and deeper floods in coastal cities in future.
Phys.org / How cancer cells keep their chromosomes intact to continue dividing relentlessly
Scientists at Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) have made a major discovery about cancer cells. This new understanding could help make chemotherapy work better, reduce side effects, and lead to the development ...
Phys.org / Sunlight, water and air power a cleaner method for making hydrogen peroxide
Cornell scientists have discovered a potentially transformative approach to manufacturing one of the world's most widely used chemicals—hydrogen peroxide—using nothing more than sunlight, water and air. The research is ...
Phys.org / New levitating sensors could pave way to dark matter detection and quantum sensing
A new type of sensor that levitates dozens of glass microparticles could revolutionize the accuracy and efficiency of sensing, laying the foundation for better autonomous vehicles, navigation and even the detection of dark ...
Medical Xpress / Nearly one in five child deaths linked to growth failure, global analysis finds
Nearly 1 million children around the globe fail to reach their fifth birthday every year due to devastating health consequences linked to child growth failure, making it the third leading risk factor for mortality and morbidity ...
Medical Xpress / Psoriasis rates rise globally, with highest burden in wealthier regions
Researchers in China report that global incidence rates of psoriasis rose slightly from 1990 to 2021 and are projected to continue rising for both men and women through 2050.
Phys.org / CRISPR-based platform shines a brighter light on the link between cells and disease
For years, Yale researchers David Breslow and Mustafa Khokha have worked together with a similar challenge in their sights—trying to capture the interplay between certain genes and the pediatric developmental disorders ...
