Phys.org / NA62 Collaboration refines measurement of rare particle decay
The NA62 Collaboration has dramatically reduced the uncertainty in its measurement of an extremely rare particle decay, in results just presented at the 2026 La Thuile conference.
Phys.org / Poking a nanostring: Scientists uncover energy cascades in tiny resonators
Scientists at TU Delft have designed a nanostring that, when poked, doesn't lose its energy to the environment immediately. Instead, the energy leaks out within the string, triggering a cascade of distinct vibrational modes. ...
Medical Xpress / Spray-on 'immune-shield' coats transplant organs to curb rejection
A new technology has been developed to suppress immune rejection, the biggest challenge in organ transplantation, without causing systemic side effects. A research team from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) ...
Phys.org / HETDEX data reveal a vast 'sea of light' between early galaxies
Astronomers with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) have used data from the project to make the largest, most accurate 3D map yet of the light emitted by excited hydrogen in the early universe, 9 billion ...
Phys.org / Drinking water at risk long after wildfires, study warns
Canada's drinking water can remain at risk long after wildfires burn out, according to a UBC-led global review that found water-quality impacts often emerge months or years later—not just immediately after a fire. Researchers ...
Phys.org / Antarctica has lost 10 times the size of Greater Los Angeles in ice over 30 years, satellite data reveal
A comprehensive 30-year study led by University of California, Irvine glaciologists has produced a circumpolar ice grounding line migration map of Antarctica. An amalgamation of three decades of satellite data compiled and ...
Phys.org / A new 'uncertainty relation' for quantum measurement errors
One of the most striking features of quantum physics is that certain properties cannot both be known or measured with arbitrary precision at the same time. Every measurement may inevitably affect the object's physical state ...
Medical Xpress / Substance use on the rise among Gen Z in their early 20s
Around seven in 10 (68%) young adults who are part of generation Z report binge drinking in the past year, with almost a third (29%) regularly consuming six or more alcoholic drinks in one sitting, according to new UCL research.
Tech Xplore / A clear view to better batteries: Engineers show moment lithium-ion batteries begin to fail
Lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous in consumer electronics such as cellphones and in electric vehicles, but the surrounding temperature and speed of charging affect those batteries' performance, safety and lifespan. Fast ...
Phys.org / Ancient zircon crystals provide a window into early Earth history
There are many open questions about how our planet formed 4.55 billion years ago: When did plate tectonics start? When did the Earth's mantle begin to vigorously circulate in a process called convection? What was Earth like ...
Medical Xpress / Intracellular signaling proteins emerge as a key target in drug development
In a recently published review, a research team led by MedUni Vienna has highlighted a promising new approach to drug discovery. The focus is on the targeted modulation of certain intracellular signaling proteins as a strategy ...
Medical Xpress / Is honey good for you? Can it speed recovery if you're sick or injured?
Honey is often praised for a range of health benefits, from soothing a sore throat and helping you get to sleep to healing wounds and lowering risk factors for diabetes and heart disease.
