Phys.org / From pore chemistry to carbon capture, new COFs push beyond membrane performance limits
Carbon dioxide (CO2) separation is central to technologies ranging from natural gas purification to hydrogen production and carbon management. One widely used approach relies on thin filtering materials called membranes. ...
Tech Xplore / New magnesium alloy design improves stability and ion transport in solid-state batteries
The modern world runs on invisible energy. Hidden inside smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles, are batteries that quietly power everyday life. As society becomes increasingly dependent on portable and sustainable energy, ...
Phys.org / Tropical cyclones give rise to unique type of heat wave in Japan
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have categorized a unique, previously unclassified type of heat wave in Japan, so-called "moist heat waves" which are accompanied by an approaching tropical cyclone. These heat ...
Phys.org / Supercharging solar cells: Quantum dot-molecule hybrid states enable near-maximum efficiency
Solar panels have become more efficient over the years, but even the best designs still lose a large fraction of the energy they absorb. Scientists around the world have been searching for ways to capture more energy from ...
Tech Xplore / Many biofuels haven't panned out. Could algae make the clean diesel and aviation fuel Australia needs?
Diesel is critical to Australia. Any supply disruption has immediate and widespread consequences, given Australia imports almost 80% of its liquid fuels. As the energy shocks of the Iran war ripple out, Australia's leaders ...
Phys.org / Payre fossils from Europe's earliest Neanderthals reveal dynamic evolution shaped by climatic oscillations
The Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH) has led the international team behind a new study published in Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences exploring the complex evolution of Neanderthals ...
Phys.org / Who's missing? Why underrepresentation often goes unnoticed in the workplace and classroom
During a staff meeting, we may look around to take account of who is present—an observation that could consider the race or gender of who is in the room. But would everyone notice a complete absence of women, colleagues of ...
Phys.org / Randomization can improve quantum computer performance in presence of noise
New research led by a graduating Ph.D. student in The University of New Mexico Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has shown that randomization can improve quantum computer performance in the presence of noise.
Tech Xplore / Online age checks create a pointless privacy risk
New cybersecurity research indicates that one of the world's leading age verification providers collects and shares highly sensitive personal data—including facial photos and device fingerprints—with third parties. The research ...
Medical Xpress / Why some cancers are worse than others
Megan Sweet slices tumors. A normal day in the lab finds the Virginia Tech graduate student with hands deep inside a refrigerated metal box, pulling a mounted mouse-grown tumor incrementally closer to a razor-sharp blade. ...
Phys.org / Structural biologists are first in world to visualize key cell protein
University of Cincinnati structural biologists are the first in the world to visualize a key cell protein as part of newly published research from the College of Medicine. The Seegar Lab has become the first to visualize ...
Medical Xpress / FDA approves Enhertu as neoadjuvant, adjuvant treatment for breast cancer
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved AstraZeneca's Enhertu (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) for both the neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment of patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive ...
