Phys.org / How temperature changes light: New model could guide smarter LEDs, sensors and photonic devices
Technion researchers have developed, for the first time, a comprehensive physical model explaining how the properties of a radiating material, including absorption, emission, and quantum efficiency, affect the fundamental ...
Phys.org / Deep beneath Swiss Alps, researchers trigger 8,000 tiny quakes in controlled test
Researchers have made the ground shake in southern Switzerland, triggering thousands of tiny earthquakes in a monitored setting, as they seek to discover seismicity insights that could reduce risks.
Medical Xpress / Experimental drug shows promise for some patients with advanced prostate cancer
For men with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to standard hormone therapies, treatment options are limited—and time matters. As the disease progresses, the window for effective, less intensive treatments begins ...
Medical Xpress / The newborn vitamin K shot: What every parent needs to know
When a baby is born, hospital staff move quickly through a standard checklist of newborn care: taking measurements, administering antibiotic eye ointment to prevent eye infections, and giving a small injection of vitamin ...
Medical Xpress / Ultra-processed foods are not all created equal, and new guidance could reshape school lunches and food rules
A new report underscores the significant variations in healthfulness of different types of processed foods. The report, released by Healthy Eating Research (HER), recommends that "healthy" ultra-processed foods be exempt ...
Phys.org / Prehistoric Danish people continued to eat fish and hunt even after the rise of agriculture, study indicates
Agriculture reached the coast of southern Denmark around 4000 BCE, but these prehistoric Scandinavians continued to fish and hunt too, according to a study published in PLOS One by Daniel Groß from the Museum Lolland-Falster, ...
Medical Xpress / Breast cancer cells with doubled genomes may dodge immunotherapy by turning off key immune signals
An epigenetic mechanism by which tumors manage to hide from the body's immune defenses has just been described by an international scientific team led by the University of Liège and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. These ...
Phys.org / The dam dilemma: How to build anew without repeating old harms
As the U.S. and other countries expand clean energy, large hydropower dams, often seen as a reliable renewable solution, can come with significant environmental and social costs if not planned thoughtfully.
Phys.org / JWST maps cosmic web in record detail back to universe's first billion years
Using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers led by researchers at the University of California, Riverside have produced the most detailed map of the cosmic web ever made, tracing the network of galaxies ...
Phys.org / The hidden force of growth: Dividing cell colonies drive phase separation in passing particles
In physics, the spontaneous de-mixing of two substances is known as phase separation. It is an important mechanism in nature to create structure and patterns and typically requires some form of attraction between the constituents. ...
Phys.org / The stability paradox: How do organisms change shape over the course of evolution?
Researchers at the Technion have discovered how changes in genetic regulatory sequences can lead to alterations in the form and structure of animals—even when genetic regulatory systems are stable and resistant to change. ...
Phys.org / Industrial fishing has been depleting midwater fish for decades, new study finds
A new study led by scientists at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution finds that industrial-scale fishing has been removing substantial biomass from the ocean's "twilight zone" for decades, challenging the common assumption ...
