Phys.org / Astronomers warn satellite growth may contaminate nearly all space telescope data
Light from the half a million satellites that humanity is planning to launch into Earth's orbit in the coming years could contaminate almost all the images taken by space telescopes, NASA astronomers warned Wednesday.
Medical Xpress / A common childhood virus can drive bladder cancer development
Tackling a common childhood virus could open the door to preventing bladder cancer, according to new research.
Phys.org / Single-photon teleportation achieved between distant quantum dots for the first time
An international research team involving Paderborn University has achieved a crucial breakthrough on the road to a quantum internet. For the first time ever, the polarization state of a single photon emitted from a quantum ...
Phys.org / Golden Eagles in the West appear stable, but Nevada tells a different story
Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) have been protected in North America since 1962 and their populations in the West are considered stable. However, a new study published in the Journal of Raptor Research found that the Nevada ...
Phys.org / Humans and artificial neural networks exhibit some similar patterns during learning
Past psychology and behavioral science studies have identified various ways in which people's acquisition of new knowledge can be disrupted. One of these, known as interference, occurs when humans are learning new information ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental drug repairs DNA damage caused by common diseases
Cedars-Sinai scientists have developed an experimental drug that repairs DNA and serves as a prototype for a new class of medications that fix tissue damage caused by heart attack, inflammatory disease or other conditions.
Phys.org / Tightening the net around the elusive sterile neutrino
Neutrinos, though nearly invisible, are among the most numerous matter particles in the universe. The Standard Model recognizes three types, but the discovery of neutrino oscillations revealed they have mass and can change ...
Medical Xpress / Pegcetacoplan—the 'closest thing to a cure' for rare, severe kidney disease
A rare and life-threatening kidney disease in children finally has an effective therapy, thanks in large part to pioneering research and clinical leadership from University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Children's Hospital.
Phys.org / Electrical oscillations in microtubules link cytoskeleton to neuronal signaling
Researchers at UT San Antonio have uncovered new details about electrical signals happening within nerve cells, deepening scientists' understanding of the brain.
Phys.org / Pinning down spinless glueballs: New look at hidden structure inside subatomic particles
SUNY Poly Professor of Physics Dr. Amir Fariborz recently published a paper in Physical Review D titled "Spinless glueballs in generalized linear sigma model." The work takes on a central challenge in modern physics: understanding ...
Phys.org / X-ray imaging reveals how silicon anodes maintain contact in all-solid-state batteries
All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) using silicon (Si) anodes are among the most promising candidates for high-energy and long-lasting power sources, particularly for electric vehicles. Si can store more lithium than conventional ...
Phys.org / New universal law predicts how most objects shatter, from dropped bottles to exploding bubbles
When a plate drops or a glass smashes, you're annoyed by the mess and the cost of replacing them. But for some physicists, the broken pieces are a source of fascination: Why does everything break into such a huge variety ...
