Phys.org / Rare high-resolution observations of a flare-prolific solar active region
Scientists have captured an exceptionally rare, high-resolution view of an active region that produced two powerful X-class solar flares—an achievement rarely possible from Earth. Using the GREGOR solar telescope in Tenerife, ...
Tech Xplore / Intelligent photodetectors 'sniff and seek' like retriever dogs to recognize materials directly from light spectra
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), in collaboration with UC Berkeley, have developed a new type of intelligent image sensor that can perform machine-learning inference during the act of photodetection ...
Phys.org / Can quantum computers help researchers learn about the inside of a neutron star?
A new paper published in Nature Communications could put scientists on the path to understanding one of the wildest, hottest, and most densely packed places in the universe: a neutron star.
Phys.org / Long-term field data reveal warming cuts temperate forest NO and N₂O emissions by altering soil moisture
Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of California, Riverside, have investigated how the loss of forest soil gaseous nitrogen (NO, N2O, and N2) is affected ...
Medical Xpress / High-intensity training improves muscle function in inflammatory muscle disease, study suggests
High-intensity interval training boosts fitness and muscle endurance more effectively than traditional home exercise programs in people recently diagnosed with inflammatory muscle disease. That is the conclusion of a new ...
Phys.org / Africa's forests have switched from absorbing to emitting carbon, new study finds
New research warns that Africa's forests, once vital allies in the fight against climate change, have turned from a carbon sink into a carbon source.
Phys.org / Quasi-periodic oscillations detected in unusual multi-trigger gamma-ray burst
A new study led by the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has detected quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) signals in an unusual gamma-ray burst (GRB) event. The findings are published in The Astrophysical ...
Phys.org / Advanced tracking uncovers flapper skate hotspots on Scotland's deep seabed
Flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius), the world's largest skate species measuring over two meters in length, live hidden on the rugged seabed around Scotland. Their life in the darkness, deep underwater, makes it extremely ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers pioneer pathway to mechanical intelligence by breaking symmetry in soft composite materials
A research team has developed soft composite systems with highly programmable, asymmetric mechanical responses. By integrating "shear-jamming transitions" into compliant polymeric solids, this innovative work enhances key ...
Phys.org / Stars defy black hole by showing stable orbits around Sagittarius A*
An international research team led by PD Dr. Florian Peissker at the University of Cologne has used the new observation instrument ERIS (Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph) at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) facility ...
Phys.org / 'Stick and glue' method enables more precise biomolecule tracking in cells
A team of researchers at IOCB Prague headed by Dr. Tomáš Slanina has developed a new method for labeling molecules with fluorescent dyes that surpasses existing approaches in both precision and stability. The new fluorescent ...
Phys.org / Astronomers unveil 400 sibling star clusters in the Milky Way
Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open clusters closely associated both in position and kinematics. They provide insight into how stars form ...
