Phys.org / DAMPE satellite reveals cosmic rays share spectral break near 15 teravolts
A century after their discovery, cosmic rays—particles of extreme energy originating from the far reaches of the universe—remain a mystery to scientists. The DAMPE (Dark Matter Particle Explorer) space telescope is tackling ...
Tech Xplore / Computer vision helps observers understand how iconic artworks were created
Paintings are often made up of thousands of tiny brushstrokes, each going in a certain direction, that are not easily observed by the viewer. A cross-disciplinary research team from the Penn State College of Information Sciences ...
Phys.org / Laser-plasma accelerators can preserve polarization of Helium-3 ions
Particle accelerators such as those at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva are typically highly complex large-scale devices. In these ring-shaped facilities, which are often several kilometers ...
Medical Xpress / Skull microchannels reveal hidden route for brain immune defense
A study led by Rafael Gallareto-Sande, a predoctoral researcher at the Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH), provides new insights into a network of tiny blood vessels within the cranial bones ...
Medical Xpress / A new algorithm can spot who may be headed for self-harm before warning signs become obvious
Depression, one of the most widespread mental health disorders, is characterized by a persistent low mood and a loss of interest in everyday activities, along with possible sleep disruptions and/or changes in appetite. Some ...
Tech Xplore / A new type of optical chip cuts static power while enabling electrical reprogramming
As technology advances, and the demand for faster, higher-bandwidth, and more energy-efficient data processing continues to grow, scientists and engineers search for ways to improve electronic systems. One avenue they have ...
Phys.org / New lithium-plasma engine passes key Mars propulsion test
You're on the fourth human mission to Mars, and you're told the Odyssey spacecraft designed to take you there will be the smoothest ride you'll ever take. It features a newly christened electric propulsion engine which was ...
Phys.org / Cities rethink beekeeping as honeybee boom may strain wild bees
The rising popularity of urban beekeeping has raised concerns about honeybee well-being and the impact they might have on wild bee populations in cities. A collaborative study by beekeepers, political stakeholders and research ...
Phys.org / Measurement of nuclear reactions at record-low energies opens new pathways for astrophysics research
An international research team has achieved an important milestone for astrophysics at GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt: In the CRYRING@ESR storage ring, scientists were able to measure nuclear reactions at extremely low energies for ...
Phys.org / Water molecules found to actively drive gene transcription process
Researchers have uncovered a previously hidden layer of complexity in how genes are activated, showing that water molecules play a direct and essential role in one of the most fundamental processes in biology: DNA transcription.
Tech Xplore / How to avoid supply chain issues as drone and robot production increases exponentially
Production of drones and autonomous robots is expected to explode by the late 2030s—by up to 10× for commercial drones and 100× for humanoid and quadruped robots. Publishing in Chem Circularity, researchers estimate how this ...
Phys.org / Deadly feline coronavirus variant has been present in the US for more than a decade
Cornell researchers have discovered that a lethal variant of feline coronavirus, previously thought to be limited to a devastating 2023 outbreak in Cyprus that killed thousands of cats, has in fact appeared in the United ...
