Phys.org / New molecular design strategy improves efficiency and selectivity in electrocatalytic reactions
More efficient and sustainable energy conversion technologies, among other applications, hinge on lowering the amount of energy needed to trigger specific reactions on the surface of electrodes. Called electrocatalysis, the ...
Medical Xpress / A simple blood test could change how Alzheimer's is diagnosed
A blood test, combined with an ultrathin material derived from graphite, could significantly advance efforts to detect Alzheimer's disease at its very earliest stage, even before symptoms appear.
Phys.org / Chile declares emergency as wildfires kill at least 15
Wildfires burning out of control in southern Chile have killed at least 15 people and forced more than 50,000 to evacuate, the government said Sunday.
Phys.org / AI disruptions reveal the folly of clinging to an idealized modern university
In the past five years, higher education has been in a seemingly endless state of disruption.
Phys.org / Study finds strong link between teacher well-being and pupil achievement
A new study from The University of Manchester has found that happier teachers help create happier pupils—and better learning—as ten schools across the UK embrace a groundbreaking approach to well-being.
Medical Xpress / Heart computational model can help doctors operate on and treat patients with arrhythmia
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common kinds of arrhythmia, causing the heart not to contract properly in order to pump the blood, which can lead to the formation of thrombi (blood clots) and the consequent associated ...
Phys.org / New model maps social polarization as overlapping group opinions, not fixed sides
Researchers at TU Wien are developing a model that interprets opinions not as diametrically opposed poles, but as overlapping areas at the group level.
Phys.org / NASA moves moon rocket to launch pad ahead of Artemis 2 mission
NASA on Saturday rolled out its towering SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft as it began preparations for its first crewed mission to the moon in more than 50 years.
Medical Xpress / Light-activated tissue adhesive patch offers rapid, watertight neurosurgical sealing
Durotomy is a common neurosurgical complication involving a tear in the dura mater, the protective membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Damage can cause cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage, leading to delayed healing, ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists uncover new quantum state that could power future technologies
Scientists have discovered a new quantum state of matter that connects two significant areas of physics, potentially leading to advancements in computing, sensing and materials science.
Phys.org / Elephant seals return to Año Nuevo State Park. Visitors watch battling bulls and 75-pound pups
Every winter about 10,000 elephant seals make their way to California's Año Nuevo State Park to fight, mate and give birth. The spectacle runs from mid-December through March, drawing wildlife watchers eager for a glimpse ...
Tech Xplore / No power, no phone, no radio: Why comms dropped out during the Central Victorian fires
Australia has entered an era of climate instability, where communications during bushfires and extreme weather must perform under increasingly severe conditions.
