Phys.org / New 'Mars GPS' lets Perseverance pinpoint its location within 25 centimeters
Imagine you're all alone, driving along in a rocky, unforgiving desert with no roads, no map, no GPS, and no more than one phone call a day for someone to inform you exactly where you are. That's what NASA's Perseverance ...
Tech Xplore / Hydrogen-bond networks boost all-perovskite solar cell efficiency
The use of solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, has grown exponentially over the past decades. These devices are enabling the production of clean and renewable energy, which could contribute to ...
Phys.org / Honey bees navigate more precisely than previously thought
A team from the University of Freiburg led by neurobiologist and behavioral biologist Prof. Dr. Andrew Straw studied the flight behavior of honey bees. Using a drone, the researchers tracked honey bees as they flew between ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds immune signature linked to treatment-resistant myasthenia gravis
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the connection between nerves and muscles. This attack causes muscle weakness that can affect vision, movement, speech, swallowing, and ...
Phys.org / Quantum simulator reveals statistical localization that keeps most qubit states frozen
In the everyday world, governed by classical physics, the concept of equilibrium reigns. If you put a drop of ink into water, it will eventually evenly mix. If you put a glass of ice water on the kitchen table, it will eventually ...
Phys.org / Plant-based material offers sustainable method of recovering rare earth element
Despite rare earth elements' importance in manufacturing cell phones, magnets and a host of other consumer and commercial electronics, the lack of a sustainable, environmentally friendly approach to obtaining these metals ...
Medical Xpress / Virgin olive oil protects cognitive health through the gut microbiota, research reveals
Virgin olive oil is considered one of the fundamental pillars of the Mediterranean diet and is widely recognized for its cardiovascular and metabolic health benefits. However, its direct influence on the human brain through ...
Tech Xplore / India chases 'DeepSeek moment' with homegrown AI
Fledgling Indian artificial intelligence companies showcased homegrown technologies this week at a major summit in New Delhi, underpinning big dreams of becoming a global AI power.
Phys.org / Using light to probe fractional charges in a fractional Chern insulator
In some quantum materials, which are materials governed by quantum mechanical effects, interactions between charged particles (i.e., electrons) can prompt the creation of quasiparticles called anyons, which carry only a fraction ...
Medical Xpress / Most transgender people have been victims of violence, study says
Most transgender and gender-diverse people have been victims of physical or sexual violence, a new evidence review says. Overall, nearly two-thirds (64%) of transgender and gender-diverse people worldwide experienced physical ...
Phys.org / Turtles' brains shed light on evolutionary developments dating back hundreds of millions of years
A new study from the School of Neurobiology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics reveals a surprising insight into the operation of the ancestral brain: the visual cortex of turtles is capable of detecting unexpected visual stimuli ...
Phys.org / Strong correlations and superconductivity observed in a supermoiré lattice
Two or more graphene layers that are stacked with a small twist angle in relation to each other form a so-called moiré lattice. This characteristic pattern influences the movement of electrons inside materials, which can ...
