Phys.org / Dual-atom platinum–ruthenium catalyst achieves efficient low-temperature carbon monoxide oxidation
A research team from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an efficient, stable, atomic-scale catalyst for carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation. This advancement offers promising ...
Phys.org / Simulations and supercomputing calculate one million cislunar orbits
Satellites and spacecraft in the vast region between Earth and the moon and just beyond—called cislunar space—are crucial for space exploration, scientific advancement and national security. But figuring out where exactly ...
Phys.org / Modeling finds old-growth wildfire risk highest where low-severity fires once burned
A new analysis shows that the Pacific Northwest's mature and old-growth forests are most at risk of severe wildfire in areas that historically burned frequently at lower severity. The study by scientists at Oregon State University ...
Medical Xpress / Pancreatic tumors eliminated in mice without resistance developing
Current drugs for pancreatic cancer lose effectiveness within months because the tumor becomes resistant. Now, a group from Spain's National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) has been able to avoid the development of resistance ...
Phys.org / Stacked graphene sandwich reveals switchable memory without traditional ferroelectrics
A research team led by Professor Youngwook Kim from the Department of Physics and Chemistry, DGIST, in collaboration with the research team of Professor Gil Young Cho at KAIST, have discovered a new memory principle that ...
Phys.org / Schools are increasingly telling students they must put their phones away. Ohio's example shows mixed results
Cellphones are everywhere—including, until recently, in schools.
Phys.org / Ancient American pronghorns were built for speed
The fastest land animal in North America is the American pronghorn, and previously, researchers thought it evolved its speed because of pressure from the now-extinct American cheetah. But recently, that theory has come under ...
Tech Xplore / Unhackable metasurface holograms: Security technology can lock information with light color and distance
A research team led by Professor Junsuk Rho at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) has developed a secure hologram platform that operates solely based on the wavelength of light and the spacing between metasurface ...
Phys.org / Earth's largest volcanic event reshaped an oceanic plate, seismic wave analysis reveals
A research group has revealed through seismic wave analysis that the oceanic plate beneath the Ontong Java Plateau—the world's largest oceanic plateau—was extensively altered by massive volcanic activity during its formation. ...
Phys.org / Newly identified RNA molecule may drive cancer patient survival
In a recent study, researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) identify a novel RNA molecule that plays a crucial role in preserving the integrity of a key cellular structure, the nucleolus ...
Phys.org / New framework maps seven pillars for judging research trustworthiness
A new paper proposes a systems-level framework for evaluating the trustworthiness of research findings across methods and approaches. The paper, titled "A Framework for Assessing the Trustworthiness of Research Findings," ...
Phys.org / Neutron scans reveal hidden water in famous martian meteorite
New tools unlock new discoveries in science. So when a new type of non-destructive technology becomes widely available, it's inevitable that planetary scientists will get their hands on it to test it on some meteorites. A ...
