Phys.org / Chemists overturn 40-year assumption about a key class of superconductors
Scientists at Warwick have shown that a material treated for 40 years as a uniform, textbook superconductor is in fact a patchwork of different crystal structures throughout its bulk, using an advanced 3D imaging technique ...
Medical Xpress / Plasticizer exposure during pregnancy linked to increased autism- and ADHD-related symptoms in children
The foundations of brain development are laid during a crucial period of pregnancy, and a common household plasticizer called DEHP may be quietly interfering with this process. Scientists have now found that prenatal exposure ...
Phys.org / Bolivia's tilcayo tiger cat becomes first new wildcat species in 100 years
Scientists have discovered a new species of wild cat for the first time in more than a century, a Bolivian researcher told AFP on Thursday.
Tech Xplore / Anthropic says its model Claude is helping to build the next version of itself
Anthropic's Claude is helping the company develop the next, more intelligent version of the model, the artificial intelligence lab said in an announcement Thursday.
Phys.org / A new bridge for quantum networks: Physicists convert microwaves to light using 2D magnets
Physicists at The City College of New York have demonstrated a new way to transfer microwave signals onto light using magnetic waves inside a layered semiconductor. The work establishes a materials platform for building interfaces ...
Phys.org / Virtual biotech company puts thousands of AI scientist agents to work on drug discovery
The latest company to spin out of a Stanford Medicine lab is a biotech undertaking with 37,000 employees—and none of them are human. There's no lab space, no lunch breaks and no payroll. It's an artificial intelligence-powered ...
Phys.org / Newfound fungal nutrient-sensing mechanism could advance biofuels and disease control
Scientists have taken a step toward a better understanding of how fungi sense and respond to nutrients in the environment, which is critical for engineering fungi for green technologies and combating fungal pathogens and ...
Medical Xpress / New MRI measure reveals how closely blood flow matches brain cells' energy needs
Researchers from the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a new, noninvasive way to examine how blood flow and cellular organization ...
Phys.org / Close-up images show defects locking electrons into stable Wigner solids
A team of researchers led by the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) developed an approach that enabled them to directly observe how electrons interact with defects in advanced ...
Phys.org / Why global wind energy may stay steady even as storm tracks shift poleward
Understanding how wind changes in response to global warming is necessary for accurately modeling climate and weather, identifying risks to infrastructure, and assessing global wind power capacity.
Phys.org / How accurately can we measure the ocean's deepest point?
How deep is the deepest ocean—and how precisely can we actually measure it? A Japanese research team led by the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR), SOKENDAI, the University of Tokyo and other Japanese institutions ...
Phys.org / Laser shocks turn plastic into ultra-small, high-purity nanodiamonds
Nanodiamonds are tiny diamond particles that usually measure mere millionths of a millimeter. They are extremely hard, stable and heat-resistant and highly adaptable for various purposes in medicine, new materials, catalysis ...
