Phys.org / New superconductors identified, unlocking process that could yield thousands more
An international team of quantum researchers has shown how machine learning can be used to filter a practically infinite number of possible material combinations to identify candidates for superconductivity. Thanks to the ...
Phys.org / Scrolling for science: How a Twitter post discovered a new wasp in Fukuoka, Japan
The next time you post a nature photo online, you might be contributing to a major scientific breakthrough—just as several citizen scientists did when they helped discover the wasp Eupelmus curvator in Japan.
Phys.org / Super-deep diamond discovery may rewrite Earth's role in preserving the building blocks of life
Two diamonds formed 700 kilometers below the Earth's surface reveal a life-giving synchronicity between shifting continents and the cycling of phosphorus, a vital building block of DNA and cell membranes.
Phys.org / France deaths rose by 30% during heat wave
France endured a rise of nearly 30% in the number of deaths recorded during the week starting June 22, as a record-breaking heat wave linked to climate change gripped much of Europe, health authorities said Friday.
Phys.org / Coastal and estuarine carbon removal technique may backfire when pushed too far
Scientists investigating a proposed way to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using seawater have found that adding too much alkalinity to neutralize acids can trigger chemical reactions that undermine the process.
Tech Xplore / Physical pressure could make EV batteries last twice as long and reduce environmental impact
The key to making longer-lasting electric vehicle batteries may not be specialized materials or new chemistry, but simple physical pressure, according to new research.
Medical Xpress / Decade-long national study finds antimicrobial use in Australian hospitals improves with regular monitoring
A 10-year national study has found improved antimicrobial use in Australian hospitals that regularly monitored their prescribing, using a globally unique program developed by a Melbourne hospital. The study reinforces the ...
Phys.org / Gut parasite alters honey bee smell as infection progresses, potentially changing hive behavior
Honey bees infected with a gut parasite smell different, which could allow bee colonies to detect disease and influence behavior inside the hive, new research finds.
Phys.org / Some boreal forest species fail to recover even 100 years after clearcutting
Boreal forests are being clear-cut faster than some of their wildlife and plant species can recover, with a few failing to return even 100 years after harvesting, according to University of Alberta-led research.
Tech Xplore / Custom prosthetic hand adapts to each user, decoding 19 gestures in real time
Most prosthetic hands today still struggle with a fundamental problem: No two amputees are the same, yet most devices are designed as if they are. That mismatch makes natural, intuitive control difficult, often turning what ...
Phys.org / First-of-a-kind laser spring opens up new avenues for plasma control
When a high-intensity laser interacts with plasma, the charged particles typically oscillate back and forth like waves on the ocean. But what if the laser itself could twist like a whirlpool? Researchers have now demonstrated ...
Medical Xpress / Why 25 minutes may matter in music therapy sessions: Heart-rate synchrony peaks later
New research has discovered the time it takes for a therapist and patient to reach the moment of strongest connection during a therapy session—around 25 minutes. The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, ...
