Phys.org / Fossil ribs reveal new secrets about ichthyosaur swimming technique
Ichthyosaurs ruled the oceans for 150 million years during the Mesozoic Era. Their fish-shaped bodies were built for high speeds. In that context, it is normally an advantage to be as light as possible.
Phys.org / 25 years after 9/11, research traces changing landscape of religious bias
A quarter-century after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, religious bias in America has not disappeared, but the forces shaping it have changed.
Phys.org / Forever chemicals break apart into fluoride under UV treatment, revealing a cleanup roadmap
UC Riverside environmental engineers have identified key chemical reactions that occur when ultraviolet light is used to destroy "forever chemical" pollutants in water, providing a roadmap for developing more effective cleanup ...
Phys.org / Fossils from embryo to adult suggest how an enigmatic, bird-like troodontid dinosaur grew
Analysis of fossilized remains from dinosaurs known as troodontids reveals how one species' hip and leg bones may have developed over its lifespan, from embryo to adult—with potential implications for resolving longstanding ...
Phys.org / 'Here, There and Everywhere': The Beatles have permeated research papers across academic disciplines
More than 3,000 scientific article titles across disciplines have made use of Beatles song titles and lyrics, according to a study published in PLOS One by Gabriel Budel of Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands ...
Phys.org / Molecular surface design achieves over 100 million-fold tuning of porous liquid viscosity
Porous liquids combine permanent nanoscale cavities with fluidity, making them promising for applications like carbon dioxide capture, gas separation and other chemical processes. Their viscosity must be tailored to the intended ...
Phys.org / Researchers chart new course for AI-powered biomedical discoveries
University of Missouri researchers are paving the way as artificial intelligence transforms biomedical research. A team from the College of Engineering and collaborators recently published one of the most comprehensive reviews ...
Tech Xplore / New software tool lets users repair AI-generated 3D models, then fabricate them just the way they want
A guiding principle for many software engineers—"What you see is what you get" —means creating programs where the content you're editing looks the same as the final product. But when you're using generative AI (genAI) systems ...
Medical Xpress / Highly potent compound that blocks Ebola virus entry discovered
A University of Minnesota–led multi-institutional research team has discovered a highly potent small molecule that blocks Ebola virus entry by stabilizing the virus's entry protein and provides strong protection when given ...
Phys.org / Natural clay reveals a new way to control ion transport at the angstrom scale
Researchers at the National Graphene Institute have shown that naturally occurring channels within a common clay mineral can respond to pressure, voltage and pH, offering possibilities for controlling the movement of ions ...
Phys.org / Supercomputer simulations reveal how the molecular motor kinesin steers itself along tracks
Kinesin is a molecular motor responsible for hauling essential cargoes within cells by walking step by step along filamentous tracks known as microtubules. To move efficiently and avoid falling off, the motor's two feet must ...
Medical Xpress / Nasal spray protects neurons and memory in Alzheimer's mouse model
A nasal spray containing vesicles naturally released by cells may work against Alzheimer's. This is the promise of a study conducted by researchers at the Università Cattolica, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli ...
