Phys.org / Magnetic fields can 'revive' superconductivity in nickelates, research reveals
A research team led by Professor Denver Li Danfeng, Associate Dean (Research and Postgraduate Education) of the College of Science and Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK), ...
Phys.org / Polar vortex forecasts gain months of lead time with new climate-based method
Florida State University researchers have discovered how to accurately predict winter weather forecasts months in advance, affording sectors such as agriculture, water management, energy use and public health a longer lead ...
Medical Xpress / 2017 to 2023 saw decrease in primary care visit rates, access in older adults
Across Medicare beneficiaries, primary care visit rates and access decreased from 2017 to 2023, and telemedicine accounted for a small proportion of visits, according to a study published online in JAMA Health Forum.
Phys.org / Mathematical framework solves asteroid route planning exactly for first time
A new publication from Bielefeld University sets a benchmark in optimization research. Together with an international team, Professor Michael Römer from the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics has developed a ...
Phys.org / Tiny eggs may explain why ammonites vanished while nautiloids survived asteroid aftermath
Some of the most beautiful creatures to grace the ancient seas, the ammonites, disappeared in the end-Cretaceous mass extinction that finished off the dinosaurs 65.5 million years ago. "It's a tragic story, because this incredibly ...
Phys.org / One absurd raccoon army question just exposed a hidden flaw in how conspiracy beliefs get counted
A mythical army of genetically engineered raccoons has helped Australian researchers show that belief in conspiracy theories may be less common than previously thought.
Phys.org / AI-powered lab discovers brighter lead-free nanomaterials in 12 hours
A new autonomous laboratory recently navigated through billions of potential material synthesis recipes to identify brighter, lead-free light-emitting nanomaterials in just 12 hours. The work could accelerate development ...
Phys.org / Love hormone enters battle mode, exposing rivalry and group lines in Amazon study
The "love hormone" oxytocin (OT) plays a role not only in moments of intimacy but also in competitive situations. Researchers at the University of Zurich (UZH) have shown that OT levels increase when rivalry or clearly defined ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists program materials just by spinning them
There is something universally appealing about the slap bracelet, and the way a simple tap causes it to switch between a straight shape and a curled one. What you probably didn't know is that a slap bracelet's satisfying ...
Phys.org / Space junk falls to Earth faster when sunspots peak, reshaping satellite collision forecasts
Solar emissions exert 'drag' on space junk orbiting Earth. From historical measurements across a period of 36 years, researchers have now shown that space junk begins to fall down much faster once the sun's activity across ...
Phys.org / Genetic 'bonus material' boosts gut bacterium's oxygen tolerance up to 1,000-fold
The bacterium Segatella copri is one of the most common inhabitants of the human gut. In their latest study, researchers at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) have discovered that some strains of this bacterial ...
Science X / An ancient quantum machine controls our immune system—and researchers just discovered how it works
Our immune system is much older than we think. Long before dinosaurs existed, early life forms had developed a powerful defense system. Innate immunity has existed since the Cambrian period—that is, since the time when almost ...
