Phys.org / Two attosecond flashes capture electrons in motion
Electronic motion sets the stage for virtually every light-induced process in nature, from the first step of a chemical reaction to the flow of charge in a solid. Yet these processes unfold so rapidly that they can be observed ...
Medical Xpress / Gluten-free diet reshapes gut bacteria after celiac diagnosis in children
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten that affects 1% to 3% of people globally and is caused by a mix of known genetic factors and unknown environmental ones.
Phys.org / New research shows how 'hot electrons' can reshape metals in billionths of a second
Researchers at The University of Manchester have revealed how intense electronic excitation can trigger rapid structural changes in metals—without heating the atomic lattice—offering new insight into ultrafast materials behavior.
Phys.org / Lake ice loss could accelerate after winter temperatures cross critical thresholds
For lakes across the Northern Hemisphere, winter ice is more than a frozen surface. It is a seasonal regulator that shapes underwater ecosystems and energy balance. But as the planet warms, this frozen season is disappearing ...
Tech Xplore / Standardized battery database could improve AI-guided solid-state battery design
Thousands of peer-reviewed papers on battery devices are published each year. Despite this rapid growth, the data contained within these publications are often reported in different formats and with varying levels of detail ...
Phys.org / 100% organic free-range egg production could have negative consequences for climate and nature
A study published in Royal Society Open Science reveals striking trade-offs when it comes to different methods of egg production. Using UK data, the study compared several possible scenarios for the egg industry, including ...
Medical Xpress / AI can accurately detect left ventricular dysfunction from electrocardiograms
Artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) data can simultaneously detect subtypes of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), according to a study ...
Phys.org / A thermal camera trick could let LIGO see twice as far
There's a nice kind of irony buried in this story: One of the most sensitive instruments ever built, capable of measuring distortions smaller than the width of a proton, has been quietly held back by something as mundane ...
Medical Xpress / Building immunity: Tissue-resident immune cells defend human lungs from viral, bacterial, and fungal infections
New research led by scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) and the University of Liverpool (UOL) provides the first comprehensive look at how a hidden immune cell army defends the vast, vulnerable tissue of ...
Phys.org / Mesolithic hunter-gatherers on Malta relied on repeated sea crossings, study suggests
The existence of humans on Malta, a tiny Mediterranean island, during the Mesolithic period is puzzling. Archaeological evidence indicates that foragers occupied the Maltese islands between 8,500 and 7,500 years ago, and ...
Medical Xpress / Antihistamines likely offer no meaningful benefit for eczema and may increase harms
Adding oral antihistamines to existing eczema treatments is unlikely to lead to clinically important reductions in eczema and itch severity and may not reduce sleep disturbance or flare-ups, finds a review of the latest trial ...
Tech Xplore / Hybrid battery binder could improve EV range without changing existing production lines
A joint research team—led by Ki-Jae Kim, a professor in the Department of Energy Science and the Department of Future Energy Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), alongside Jang Wook Choi's research team from Seoul ...
