Phys.org / Why birds ignore Newton: New theory could sharpen models of flocks, crowds and cells
Birds in flocks, bacteria and cells: In many collective systems, individual elements respond to only part of their surroundings, seemingly defying Newton's third law of motion—action equals reaction. These exceptions are ...
Tech Xplore / Transparent OLED advance could improve AR displays and smart windows
Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Prof. Yongtaek Hong from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has developed a high-performance transparent organic light-emitting ...
Phys.org / 'Puffy' super-Neptune emerges 383 light-years away with a density of just 0.4 g/cm³
Using the Subaru Telescope, astronomers have conducted follow-up observations of a recently discovered exoplanet known as TOI-1883 b. Results of the new observations, published June 5 on the arXiv preprint server, indicate ...
Phys.org / Carbon dioxide unlocks safer oxidation chemistry under room-temperature conditions
Oxidation reactions are indispensable to the chemical industry, but from a process safety perspective, they are among the most challenging transformations. A research team at the University of Bayreuth, working in collaboration ...
Phys.org / Engineering quantum Hall stripes in 2D materials inside electromagnetic cavities
Quantum materials, materials with properties that are governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, have proved to be highly promising for the development of ultra-efficient electronic devices, quantum processors, highly precise ...
Phys.org / Engineered bacterium turns potato starch into biodegradable plastic in 24 hours
Every year, hundreds of millions of tons of petrochemical-based plastics are produced, much of which ends up in the environment or is incinerated. This exacerbates greenhouse gas emissions and the environmental crisis caused ...
Medical Xpress / Traditional tertiary teaching models shortchanging neurodivergent students in health care studies
Recent Deakin research into the experiences of neurodivergent students studying for future health care careers showed many experience stigma, inadequate help in classroom and clinical settings, and hard-to-navigate support ...
Medical Xpress / Stem cell embryo models could unlock infertility clues beyond 14-day research limit
An international team of experts in embryology and bioethics has published the first white paper on the use of embryonic models based on stem cells in the field of reproductive biology. The document, coordinated by UPF researcher ...
Science X / Could an ancient plant compound hold the key to metabolic harmony?
For centuries, the secrets of traditional medicine were locked away, and only recently have they come to light. Imagine an ordinary yellow plant extract, widely used in Chinese medicine, exerting effects not only on blood ...
Medical Xpress / Brain-like organoids reveal how Ebola persists and spreads for 120 days
Following infection, the Ebola virus can survive unnoticed in the human body for months or even years, hiding in areas with little immune surveillance like the central nervous system. The danger is that those affected may ...
Phys.org / Dragonfly and damselfly migrations crisscross planet, with 100 species confirmed
Migration flights of dragonflies and damselflies crisscross much of our planet, new research reveals. Scientists from the universities of Exeter and Lund reviewed global evidence and found 100 dragonfly and damselfly species ...
Phys.org / New findings complete first evolutionary history of all living millipede orders, dating back 460 million years
Long before vertebrates walked on land, millipedes had the place to themselves. Hundreds of millions of years before dinosaurs arrived, these early decomposers were helping establish Earth's terrestrial ecosystems. But despite ...
