Phys.org / Molecules stop carbon nanotubes clumping, unlocking record heat-to-electricity performance
QUT researchers have overcome a challenge that has limited next-generation energy-harvesting materials for more than two decades, opening the door to more powerful wearable electronics and new ways of turning wasted heat ...
Phys.org / Ancestral variation, not new mutations, may impact survival of species facing climate change
Research co-authored by an Oklahoma Museum of Natural History curator, her graduate student and an international team of scientists has shed new light on the evolutionary "toolkit" animals use to survive environmental change.
Phys.org / Unusual three-way bestows magnetic sense to single-celled organism
How do microorganisms orient themselves to find the optimal habitat? Scientists have thoroughly investigated so-called magnetotactic bacteria, which use the Earth's magnetic field as a biological compass. Some eukaryotic ...
Tech Xplore / Hybrid-electric aircraft clears 30,000 feet for first time in test flights
An aircraft powered by a megawatt-class hybrid-electric engine developed in collaboration with NASA and built by GE Aerospace, demonstrated flight of an innovation that can inform new generations of fuel-saving aircraft power ...
Phys.org / What explains gender pay gaps in academia?
Gender pay gaps in academia are well documented. The harder question is why they persist. A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences tested several leading answers to that question.
Tech Xplore / New electronic skin brings self-healing sensors to underwater robots and divers
Underwater environments are among the harshest operating conditions for electronic devices. Divers and underwater robots depend on sensors to navigate, communicate and handle objects, but conventional sensors are fragile, ...
Medical Xpress / 1 in 4 American workers report staying in unwanted jobs for health insurance
Nearly one in four U.S. workers (24%) say they are currently in jobs they want to quit but stay with their employer for the health insurance, according to new research from the West Health-Gallup Center on Healthcare in America. ...
Phys.org / How quantum circuits based on neutral atoms could find and fix errors
Quantum computers, devices that process information by leveraging the laws of quantum mechanics, have been found to outperform classical computers in some advanced tasks. Instead of storing information in the form of classical ...
Medical Xpress / Daylight saving time may leave a surprising trace in the eye's smallest blood vessels each spring
For the first time, Northwestern Medicine scientists have detailed how fall and spring daylight saving time transitions affect a person's risk of developing retinal vascular disease. The study is published in Scientific Reports.
Phys.org / Why low-skilled workers are less likely to participate in continuing education
Low-skilled workers are less likely to participate in employer-sponsored continuing education programs than their more highly skilled colleagues. They are less convinced that acquiring additional skills has a positive effect ...
Phys.org / Arctic winter sea ice returns to significant decline, ending the temporary slowdown
New analysis shows that a "pause" in Arctic winter sea ice decline seen in the early 2020s has ended following record lows in 2025 and early 2026. The study, led by the University of Southampton in collaboration with the ...
Phys.org / Cameras on whale sharks reveal they are the snackers of the sea
New video evidence has revealed whale sharks, the largest fish in the sea, are serial snackers, feeding on large amounts of small prey at all ocean depths, according to research led by the Australian Institute of Marine Science ...
