Phys.org / Crucial protein recruits help to protect itself while it forms
Proteins are often called the building blocks of cells, but even those building blocks need to be built. One of the most important steps in the process of building proteins is glycosylation, when sugar molecules (glycans) ...
Phys.org / JUNO experiment delivers first physics results two months after completion
The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully completed the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) and released its first physics results.
Phys.org / Emerald green degradation in masterpieces: Scientists identify the culprits
An international team of researchers have found what triggers degradation in one of the most popular pigments used by renowned 19th and 20th century painters. Using a multi-method approach, including advanced synchrotron ...
Tech Xplore / New modeling approach predicts errors in quantum computers before they occur
You've just put a dollar into a machine to play a song and it stopped playing after a few seconds. You put in another dollar and the tune stops after a minute. You can't get your dollars back and can't listen to the song ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Euclid mission's quest to reveal hidden patterns of cosmic evolution
The European Space Agency's Euclid mission—designed to map the geometry of the dark universe with unprecedented precision—continues to deliver its first scientific insights. The Euclid Consortium has published a fresh ...
Phys.org / Magnetic nanocultures: A tiny lens into the vast world of soil microbes
An estimated 1 trillion species of microorganisms reside on Earth, yet scientists have been able to study less than two percent of them. Because many microorganisms cannot be cultivated in laboratories, researchers at Carnegie ...
Phys.org / Omo-Turkana Basin fossil catalog helps piece together early hominin record
The Omo-Turkana Basin, where the Omo River drains into Lake Turkana in Africa, has been one of the three most valuable regions for the study of hominin evolution in Africa. Since the 1960s, many large-scale studies have taken ...
Tech Xplore / Real-world helper exoskeletons come closer to reality with AI training
Georgia Tech researchers are using AI to quickly train exoskeleton devices, making it much more practical to develop, improve, and ultimately deploy wearable robots for people with impaired mobility.
Phys.org / Using 6,000-year-old data, scientists uncover why Europe may face 42 extra days of summer by 2100
New research led by Royal Holloway reveals for the first time why Europe could gain more than an extra month of summer days by 2100 using climate data from the last millennia.
Phys.org / Webb reveals Apep's four 'spiraling' dust shells shaped by Wolf-Rayet stars
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has delivered a first of its kind: a crisp mid-infrared image of a system of four serpentine spirals of dust, one expanding beyond the next in precisely the same pattern. (The fourth is almost ...
Phys.org / Conductive hydrogel mimics brain softness for flexible bioelectronic devices
Bioelectronics, such as implantable health monitors or devices that stimulate brain cells, are not as soft as the surrounding tissues due to their metal electronic circuits. A team of scientists from the University of Groningen ...
Phys.org / Parasitic ant tricks workers into killing their queen, then takes the throne
Scientists document a new form of host manipulation where an invading, parasitic ant queen "tricks" ant workers into killing their queen mother. The invading ant integrates herself into the nest by pretending to be a member ...
