Medical Xpress / People consciously recognize the meaning of words they can no longer see, study finds
When humans are awake, they are typically aware of specific sounds, movements, objects and other stimuli in their surroundings. Most of these are stimuli that they can see, hear or perceive with any of their other senses.
Phys.org / Five phases of localization physics observed in a single quantum system
Physicists in China have observed five phases in localization physics within a single quantum system. Using an advanced photonic platform, the team, led by Yucheng Wang and Jingyun Fan at the Southern University of Science ...
Phys.org / New technique sharpens predictions of metal alloy behavior by capturing subtle atomic patterns
Companies working at the frontier of aerospace, energy and computing are constantly looking for new materials to improve performance. But in order to understand how those materials will actually behave once they're inside ...
Phys.org / Competition from Chinese imports is causing CO₂ emissions to rise globally, research reveals
Danish companies emit less CO₂ when they relocate certain tasks abroad. At the same time, emissions rise correspondingly in those countries. However, global emissions increase when companies are under pressure from cheap ...
Phys.org / Plant hormones in mammals challenge view of cytokinins as purely botanical
In biology, cytokinins were long considered regulators exclusive to the plant kingdom, where they control, among other things, growth and responses to stress. Until now, little research has been conducted into whether these ...
Phys.org / Europe swelters as more heat records set to tumble
Much of Western Europe was sweltering in a grueling heat wave on Friday, with the mercury expected to continue rising in the coming days, likely shattering yet more temperature records.
Phys.org / NASA should build a biocontainment facility on the moon to protect Earth, researchers advise
A biocontainment facility designed to protect Earth from potentially hazardous biotic contaminants from space should be part of a planned NASA base on the moon, a policy paper maintains.
Phys.org / Microbial partners may help maize and sorghum respond to higher temperatures
New research suggests the microbiome near the surface of a plant's roots, known as the rhizosphere microbiome, may play a role in helping crops respond to heat stress.
Medical Xpress / Prehab can boost seniors' recuperation from spinal fusion surgery, trial finds
Prehabilitation can help the elderly recover better and suffer fewer complications from spinal fusion surgery, a new study says.
Phys.org / Bullet Cluster observations reopen dark matter debate with MOND-compatible explanation
The Bullet Cluster has so far been considered evidence of the existence of dark matter. An international team of researchers has now analyzed new data and current images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). According ...
Phys.org / Observed high vapor supersaturation provides crucial evidence for aerosol convective cloud invigoration
Can tiny aerosol particles make tropical convective clouds grow stronger? For decades, scientists have debated this question because aerosols can change how cloud droplets form, grow and release latent heat. One proposed ...
Medical Xpress / Ultrasound-based approach may reduce harmful inflammation and support joint healing
As an aging population experiences joint pain and inflammation at an all-time high, researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, have published new findings suggesting ...
