Tech Xplore / Biobased magnetic sensors printed from iron and cellulose rival some commercial devices
Today, magnetic field sensors are one of the invisible mass-produced products in the electronics industry. They measure movement, positions or distances and can be found in window contacts, steering wheels, hard disks, packaging ...
Phys.org / Cells trap heat in ways standard fluid physics cannot explain, study finds
Living cells cool much slower than our current understanding of heat conduction can explain, according to new research from the University of Tokyo. Researchers have used two techniques—high-speed temperature mapping and ...
Phys.org / Researchers push back fundamental limit on energy transfer between particles without 'spilling' radiation
Researchers at TU/e have demonstrated that energy transfer without loss via light or heat can occur over much greater distances than previously thought possible thanks to vibrations in microscopic gold rods. They succeeded ...
Medical Xpress / Blood proteins flag multiple sclerosis years before diagnosis, opening a window for prevention
A new study has revealed a group of blood proteins that are altered in people who go on to develop multiple sclerosis (MS), in some cases more than a decade before diagnosis. The findings offer hope that a simple blood test ...
Tech Xplore / Filtering out humanity: AI-assisted internet research favors cold logic over ethos and pathos
Is the internet losing its soul? A collaborative study by UC Riverside computer and social scientists suggests so. As artificial intelligence increasingly answers our online questions with quick summaries and polished explanations, ...
Tech Xplore / Robot learns to play music by ear, opening new possibilities in medicine and therapy
Scientists at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering have developed a robotic hand that can hear a melody once and play it back after just two minutes of self-taught practice on a keyboard, without relying on sheet music or ...
Phys.org / Sensitivity of Antarctic ice to climate change sharply increased after ice age shift, study shows
A new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience by researchers at the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National University in South Korea shows that the Antarctic ice sheet became more sensitive to climate ...
Phys.org / Electromagnetic noise can send migrating bats off course, with effects lasting hours
New research has unearthed new insights into the disruptive and detrimental effects that human-produced electromagnetic noise can have on the ability of bats to migrate effectively. The study, published in the journal Science, ...
Phys.org / A rare blue micromoon rises this weekend
Get set for a rare blue micromoon this weekend—a blue moon that's also the most distant and smallest-looking full moon of the year.
Medical Xpress / New brain scan detects Alzheimer's tau earlier than current standard
A new brain imaging test can detect a key hallmark of Alzheimer's disease before symptoms appear and earlier than the method currently used in clinical practice in the United States and Europe, report University of Pittsburgh ...
Phys.org / New Gulf Coast plan uses ocean technology to trap carbon dioxide
The motion of the ocean may be the key to removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, so University of Houston researchers set out to determine which U.S. coastlines are best suited for the process in a new study.
Phys.org / Astronomers discover how to estimate masses of newborn planets using dust rings
A team of astronomers, led by University of Warwick in collaboration with researchers at MIT and McMaster, have developed a novel method to use the properties of dust rings around stars to estimate the masses of newborn planets. ...
