Phys.org / Dying radio galaxies suggest a shorter, more dynamic afterlife for black hole jets
Astronomers have uncovered a previously underexplored population of faint, rapidly fading remnant radio galaxies, offering new insights into what happens after supermassive black holes stop powering their enormous radio jets.
Tech Xplore / Laser de-icing system helps nuclear power plants improve maintenance of a critical safety system
University of South Florida engineers have developed an innovative laser-based technology that is helping nuclear power plants solve a complex maintenance challenge affecting a critical reactor safety system. After four years ...
Phys.org / Quantum light engine links atom-photon thermodynamics to classical physics
What is heat, and what is useful work if a machine consists only of an atom and light particles? In modern quantum technologies, this kind of question connects thermodynamics with quantum physics. Researchers at the University ...
Medical Xpress / Can we make blood transfusions safer by testing for proteins linked to strokes and Alzheimer's disease?
A review and opinion piece published in The Lancet and led by UCL (University College London) and UCLH researchers discusses the possibility that blood transfusions may inadvertently transmit harmful brain proteins, and whether ...
Phys.org / Young people who pass through youth justice die at six times the rate of their peers
Conversations about the youth justice system typically focus on crime and punishment. In Australia, this has fueled increasingly populist and punitive youth justice policies like Queensland's Adult Crime, Adult Time policy ...
Medical Xpress / From orbit to clinic: HIV drug enters Rett syndrome trial after space-based brain study
Research using human brain organoids onboard the International Space Station helped lead to a clinical trial of a potential therapy for Rett syndrome, a debilitating neurological disorder in children. Scientists are now expanding ...
Phys.org / 'Ecology of fear' can dramatically change the behavior of blue mussels
For a blue mussel, a good meal does not come entirely without risk. Blue mussels feed by filtering microscopic algae from seawater. But some unwelcome guests can slip in along with their food. Tiny parasite larvae can hitch ...
Phys.org / After a wildfire, Britain's moors and heaths can be green again within weeks—but the real recovery takes much longer
Wildfires that have swept across Britain's upland moors and lowland heaths in unprecedented tinder-dry conditions have left behind expanses of smoking, blackened vegetation.
Medical Xpress / AI helps doctors measure scoliosis more consistently
Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine and most commonly develops during adolescence. Doctors typically assess its severity by measuring spinal curvature on X-ray images. This ...
Phys.org / 'Hidden stars' suggest that distant galaxies are much more massive than they appear
Astronomers have discovered that the most massive galaxies in the early universe contain far more small stars than expected. As a result, these early galaxies were likely much more massive than initial measurements suggested. ...
Medical Xpress / Boosting cell cleanup process may protect against glaucoma
Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative eye disease defined by the progressive death of nerve cells in the retina called retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and damage to the optic nerve. It doesn't have many warning signs, so significant ...
Medical Xpress / Why you move—not just how often—could affect dementia risk
For years, scientists have known that regular physical activity can help lower the risk of dementia. But new USC research suggests that it's not only the amount but also the activity's context—for work or for leisure—that ...
