Phys.org / How MXenes truly work: Novel technique shines light on next-gen nanomaterials
Researchers have for the first time measured the true properties of individual MXene flakes—an exciting new nanomaterial with potential for better batteries, flexible electronics, and clean energy devices.
Phys.org / Mysterious signs on Teotihuacan murals may reveal an early form of Uto-Aztecan language
More than two millennia ago, Teotihuacan was a thriving metropolis in central Mexico with up to 125,000 inhabitants. The city had gigantic pyramids and was a cultural center in Mesoamerica at the time.
Medical Xpress / Stress sensitivity makes suicidal thoughts more extreme and persistent among the university population, study finds
Stress sensitivity increases the frequency, intensity, and variability of suicidal thoughts among the university community. These are the findings of a longitudinal study coordinated by the Hospital del Mar Research Institute ...
Phys.org / Women portrayed as younger than men online, and AI amplifies the bias
U.S. Census data shows no systematic age differences between men and women in the workforce over the past decade. And globally, women on average live about five years longer than men. But that's not what you'll see if you ...
Tech Xplore / Novel AI tool opens 3D modeling to blind and low-vision programmers
Blind and low-vision programmers have long been locked out of three-dimensional modeling software, which depends on sighted users dragging, rotating and inspecting shapes on screen.
Phys.org / How enzymes 'dance' while they work, and why that's important
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new structure determination method using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy which shows how different parts of complex molecular machinery like enzymes ...
Phys.org / Analysis suggests attitudes, not income, drive energy savings at home
Some people flip off the lights the moment they leave a room, while others rarely think twice about saving energy. According to the most comprehensive analysis of people's sentiments toward household energy savings to date, ...
Phys.org / Splitting water: How order and disorder direct chemical reactivity
In nature, the behavior of systems—whether large or small—is always governed by a few fundamental principles. For instance, objects fall downward because it minimizes their energy. At the same time, order and disorder ...
Phys.org / Digital twin for forests developed with help of new laser scan technology
Scanning forests with lasers can provide three-dimensional models of forests, creating a unique way to look at these ecosystems. Researchers at the University of Helsinki are pioneers in applying this technical solution to ...
Phys.org / Wheat diversity discovery could provide an urgently-needed solution to global food security
Wheat has a very large and complex genome. Researchers have found that different varieties can use their genes in different ways. By studying RNA—the molecules that carry out instructions from DNA—researchers can see ...
Dialog / Researchers develop the first miniaturized ultraviolet spectrometer chip
Recently, the iGaN Laboratory led by Professor Haiding Sun at the School of Microelectronics, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), together with the team of academician Sheng Liu from Wuhan University, has ...
Phys.org / We need a solar sail probe to detect space tornadoes earlier, researchers say
Spirals of solar wind can spin off larger solar eruptions and disrupt Earth's magnetic field, yet they are too difficult to detect with our current single-location warning system, according to a new study from the University ...
