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 / Robotic bird helps uncover the mysteries of flight turbulence
A bio-inspired robotic bird capable of mimicking the key movements of kestrels is helping researchers unravel the mysteries behind the species' exceptional hovering capabilities.
Phys.org / New millisecond pulsar discovered with the Murchison Widefield Array
Using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), astronomers have discovered a new millisecond pulsar as part of the ongoing Southern-sky MWA Rapid Two-metre (SMART) survey. The discovery is reported in a research paper published ...
Phys.org / Synthetic chemical framework can switch magnetic spin states at near ambient temperatures
There is growing demand for smart materials that can change their physical properties in response to various external stimuli such as light, heat, pressure, magnetic fields and electric fields. One such physical property ...
Medical Xpress / Study links sleep apnea with poor memory and greater dementia risk burden in midlife
Better identification and management of sleep apnea and associated vascular risk factors in midlife may provide an important opportunity to support long-term brain health, according to new research from Monash University.
Phys.org / Metal hydride molecule trapped with laser light opens path to ultracold hydrogen
Controlling and trapping molecules, units of a substance consisting of two or more chemically bound atoms, with laser light is significantly more challenging than trapping individual atoms. This is because molecules exhibit ...
Phys.org / A thermodynamic approach to gravity could explain cosmic acceleration without dark energy
Gravity, the force that attracts objects toward each other, is currently framed by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. This framework describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime, the invisible four-dimensional ...
Phys.org / Study investigates stress, coping among adult siblings of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities
Assistant professor of practice, psychology and human development, and VKC member Jessika Boles, Ph.D., and colleagues have published results of a research study detailing the complex lived experiences of adult siblings of ...
Phys.org / How guaranteed income can support working families facing economic hardship
An innovative partnership between George Mason University, Fairfax County and the United Way is shedding light on how guaranteed income can support working families facing economic hardship.
Phys.org / New study of 2 million online posts shows persistent anti‑Jew and anti‑Muslim hate in Australia
Australia has spent much of the past two years responding to anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim hate as separate problems. But our latest research suggests they have something important in common.
Phys.org / Uncovering the trigger behind slow earthquakes
New research led by the University of New England's Dr. Timothy Chapman has uncovered the trigger behind slow earthquakes, providing valuable answers for those living in disaster-prone areas. The research has been published ...
Phys.org / UV light patterns thermochromic crystals without damage, unlocking color-changing designs
Color-changing mood rings, forehead fever strips and car-shade indicators all change hues as they warm and cool, thanks to a phenomenon called thermochromism. On a smaller scale, thermochromism is used in nanotechnologies ...
