Phys.org / Study suggests Orion Nebula, Pleiades and Hyades share a common origin
Orion Nebula, Pleiades and Hyades: The latest research results indicate that these famous star clusters represent the different phases of life of one and the same star system. A team of astrophysicists at the Institute for ...
Phys.org / Solving an 80-year-old mystery: Crystal structure of a bromide hydrate found with synchrotron radiation
Researchers have solved a mystery that has confounded scientists for 80 years: the crystal structure of the tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (TBAB) hydrate TBAB·26H2O. This substance belongs to a class of crystalline materials ...
Phys.org / Restoring nature beyond forests: A new map for rethinking ecological conservation
An international study led by the University of Liège proposes a new map of the potential for natural vegetation on Earth, far beyond forests. By incorporating the role of fire and herbivores, researchers are paving the ...
Phys.org / 'Standard candle' particle measurement enables hunt for hybrid mesons
A rather unassuming particle is playing an important role in the hunt for subatomic oddities. Similar to protons and neutrons, mesons are composed of quarks bound together by the strong nuclear force. But these short-lived ...
Medical Xpress / New COVID-19 vaccine candidate shows strong protection against multiple variants
A promising new COVID-19 vaccine candidate developed by researchers at the Centenary Institute and the University of Sydney has shown strong potential to protect against both current and emerging coronavirus variants. By ...
Phys.org / Glowing under pressure: Hinge-like mechanophores for smarter polymeric materials
In a step toward smarter materials, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo collaborated with researchers from Switzerland to develop a smart hinge-like molecule that can indicate mechanical stress in polymeric materials ...
Phys.org / Asymmetric metasurface allows precise control of photon entanglement
A new material platform has enabled scientists to create photon pairs whose entanglement can be tuned from a layer thinner than a human hair.
Medical Xpress / Sound stress alone found to heighten and prolong pain in mice
Pain is an important physiological response in living organisms. While physical pain is an outcome of tissue damage, pain can manifest as diverse unpleasant sensory and emotional experiences.
Phys.org / New AI-powered method accelerates protein simulations and reveals complex folding dynamics
An international team led by Einstein Professor Cecilia Clementi in the Department of Physics at Freie Universität Berlin has introduced CGSchNet, a machine-learned coarse-grained (CG) model that can accurately and efficiently ...
Phys.org / Researchers explore machine learning to automate early modern text transcription ethically
In the last two decades, mass digitization has dramatically changed the landscape of scholarly research. The ability to search digital transcriptions of sources for specific keywords saves valuable time, and scholars are ...
Phys.org / High-resolution climate model reveals detailed regional impacts of 1°C global warming
Global warming does not affect our planet evenly. Some areas such as the Arctic region or high mountain peaks warm faster than the global average, whereas others, including large parts of the tropical oceans, show reduced ...
Phys.org / Study reveals how gene expression evolves
Researchers at the Yale School of Public Health have discovered the evolutionary rhythm of gene expression, showing that changes happen at strikingly varied rates.
