Phys.org / Time-varying magnetic fields can engineer exotic quantum matter
Quantum technology has promising potential to revolutionize how large and complex amounts of information are processed. While already in use primarily in laboratory and research settings globally, quantum technologies are ...
Medical Xpress / Postpartum pain: Causes and how to find relief
We often talk about musculoskeletal pain—pain that occurs in the bones, joints, and other soft tissues such as muscles, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments—that women can experience during pregnancy. This includes discomfort ...
Phys.org / Red tape and regulations: A powerful weapon in a new economic reality
The global financial order has entered a new, shifting and disruptive era of nationalism and these changes lay bare the difference between the haves and have nots, according to a new study by Charles Darwin University (CDU).
Phys.org / Rain barrels and other household stormwater strategies are working—for now
In the last two decades, coastal urban areas have taken steps to better minimize flooding and runoff by creating more permeable surfaces and encouraging residents to participate in water retention and use-reduction programs. ...
Phys.org / Scientists unlock new way to engineer next-generation glass
Scientists have adapted a centuries-old principle of chemistry to fine-tune a new type of glass made from metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)—metal atoms connected by organic molecules—that efficiently trap gases like CO₂ and ...
Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's drug development pipeline shows impressive growth and diversity of therapies
Researcher Jeffrey L. Cummings M.D., ScD, from the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV, has released his annual report on the global effort to find a cure for Alzheimer's. The work is published in the journal Alzheimer's ...
Medical Xpress / Two drug strategies boost myelin repair in MS models, cutting neuroinflammation
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is most prevalent in Northern Europe and Canada, and more common in the northernmost latitudes. In recent years, the number of cases has grown, particularly among women. The disease causes the patient's ...
Phys.org / Biological invasions can cause severe animal suffering
Biological invasions occur when organisms such as animals and plants are introduced by people to regions of the world where they do not naturally occur. In these new locations, these organisms are referred to as "alien species."
Phys.org / Electric double layer unlocks molecular switch behind battery and hydrogen reactions
From smartphone charging to hydrogen production, the fundamental principles of energy technology have been revealed. Korean researchers have, for the first time, identified how molecular structures change within the ultra-small ...
Phys.org / The ocean system that shapes Europe's climate
For generations, the mild and temperate climate of northwestern Europe has been credited to one legendary force: the Gulf Stream. This idea is so deeply entrenched in our cultural identity that in James Joyce's Ulysses, the ...
Phys.org / New insight could change how we break down 'forever chemicals'
PFAS, often called "forever chemicals," are notoriously difficult to remove from the environment. Their extreme chemical stability means they can persist in water and the human body for decades, creating a major global pollution ...
Phys.org / Mathematical framework solves asteroid route planning exactly for first time
A new publication from Bielefeld University sets a benchmark in optimization research. Together with an international team, Professor Michael Römer from the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics has developed a ...
