Tech Xplore / Tailored surface vibrations to improve aerodynamic performance in passenger jets
A passenger jet soars across the sky at 640 mph (1,030 kilometers per hour), its wings pummeled with wind and boundary-layer turbulence, challenging the plane's operation and efficiency. Advancing research from Mahmoud I. ...
Phys.org / New free-space optical link adds a wireless component to the nation's longest quantum network
There's a new lighthouse on Long Island. But instead of shining light to guide ships through waterways, this one transmits and receives particles of light that carry quantum information. Perched atop a seven-story building ...
Medical Xpress / Mulberry leaves and fruit may influence gut bacteria linked to metabolism
Mulberry has long been used as both food and traditional medicine. Today, scientists are investigating whether its compounds can influence the gut microbiota and, through it, metabolism. A review involving researchers from ...
Phys.org / A lush knee-high jungle grows in the Arctic, but warming is changing Earth's mini-greenhouse
With no tall trees reaching to the sky, Alaska's North Slope tundra can look desolate—especially to outsiders from the Lower 48 who are used to in-your-face greenery.
Phys.org / Bacteria from ancestral wheat microbiomes help protect plants against root rot fungus
In the journal npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, researchers from the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) and the University of São Paulo (USP) describe the role of three bacteria in suppressing a soil-borne ...
Medical Xpress / Fruit fly study sheds light on how forgotten memories return and change
As they explore the world, humans and other animals create many memories that they will later recall and that might inform their future actions. Over time, however, some of these memories can be forgotten or become less nitid, ...
Medical Xpress / Emergency diagnoses linked to poorer outcomes across a wide range of conditions
Patients diagnosed with conditions after an emergency hospital admission or an emergency room visit face a higher risk of death than those diagnosed in nonemergency settings, according to a large population-based study by ...
Phys.org / Universal pattern revealed in quantum matter
When different materials transition from one phase to another, such as water coming to a boil or a magnet losing its ability to attract metals, something remarkable can happen: They begin to behave identically, following ...
Phys.org / Corners in focus: Metasurface enables motion tracking without digital image processing
A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has developed a new optical corner-detection imaging method that uses azimuthal Hilbert transform metasurfaces and is designed to work as a universal framework. The ...
Medical Xpress / Women with type 2 diabetes are more likely than men to develop mental health conditions, study finds
In the years following a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, women are more likely to develop mental health conditions, while men are more likely to develop cardiovascular and renal complications, according to a study published in ...
Phys.org / From flames to haze, wildfire smoke transforms as it travels, and it can harm your health in different ways
As wildfire smoke plumes travel thousands of miles, sunlight and atmospheric chemistry bleach their color, strip away their campfire aroma and add them to the mix of urban smog.
Phys.org / Shell-crushing predators may have sparked early Cenozoic boom in marine snail evolution
A large-scale study of nearly 700 species reveals the evolutionary relationships and history of Neogastropoda, a diverse group of marine snails. The findings provide new evidence for their single origin, identify four new ...
