Phys.org / Compact optical screen could pave the way for cheaper infrared cameras
New research led by the ARC Center of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) at the University of Melbourne demonstrates a new way to make invisible infrared light visible without relying on the expensive ...
Phys.org / Engineers solve puzzle of Arctic sea ice movement
Arctic sea ice moves and spreads in ways that wind alone cannot explain. A new UC Riverside-led study finds that collisions between individual pieces of ice provide a surprisingly simple explanation for these movements, potentially ...
Phys.org / The local costs of remote sensing: Examining the ethics of laser scanning in tropical forests
Laser scanning, often referred to as lidar, has rapidly transformed how tropical forest regions are studied, monitored and understood across academic disciplines. The technology enables researchers to peer through dense forest ...
Medical Xpress / New guidance puts diabetes distress assessment alongside glucose care for adults
The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) has published its first evidence-based clinical practice guideline, focussing on the assessment and management of diabetes distress in adults with type 1 diabetes ...
Medical Xpress / Unhealthy Western diet linked to faster cognitive decline in people with genetic risk of Alzheimer's
An unhealthy Western-style diet was associated with faster cognitive decline in people with a genetic risk of Alzheimer's disease, according to new research led by Murdoch University and Alzheimer's Research Australia. The ...
Medical Xpress / Gut infection may train immune sentries at the brain's border to remember microbes
The brain and spinal cord are highly protected treasures of the central nervous system, wrapped under three protective layers of meninges. The outermost layer, the dura mater, has leaky windows through which bacteria or parasites ...
Phys.org / Bacterial invasion proteins could improve detection of live crop pathogens
Scientists, clinicians, seed companies and others may soon have a new tool in their toolkit for detecting bacterial pathogens, thanks to a new study by researchers in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. The research—published ...
Tech Xplore / AI doomsday warnings unlikely to slow IPOs, but questions linger
Anthropic is expected to beat rival OpenAI to the public markets with a blockbuster IPO later this year despite recent doomsday warnings, but questions remain about their business models and whether regulators should step ...
Medical Xpress / New test could dramatically speed diagnosis of hard-to-detect lung infections
A little-known chronic lung disease is silently emerging as a growing public health threat in the U.S. and around the world. Nontuberculous mycobacteria—a group of 200 known environmental bacteria found in soil and water, ...
Phys.org / Webb reveals dynamic panorama of star formation, including smallest known brown dwarfs
This starry view of the nearby star-forming region IC 348 is one of the largest images released to date from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Using Webb, astronomers searched IC 348 for brown dwarfs, which are less massive ...
Phys.org / 'Born-again' star offers rare chance to watch stellar evolution in real time
Astronomers have confirmed that one of the fastest-changing stars ever observed has entered a new stage of its evolution, offering a rare opportunity to watch a star's life unfold on human timescales.
Phys.org / Developing new asymmetric catalytic reactions for the synthesis of complex molecules
Do Hyun Ryu's research team in the Department of Chemistry at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) has developed two new asymmetric catalytic methods for the precise synthesis of complex molecules using chiral organic catalysts.
