Phys.org / Temperature emerges as a control for topological properties of materials
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC), an interaction between an electron's spin and its motion, plays a key role in creating topological insulators—unusual materials that are insulating in their interior but can conduct electricity ...
Phys.org / Are remote workers more or less productive?
Employees want to work from home. Employers want them in the office. A new University of Iowa study suggests hybrid work may be an effective compromise.
Phys.org / Eight-letter DNA alphabet is accurately transcribed by a natural enzyme
All known life on Earth uses the same genetic alphabet, consisting of four letters. Now, researchers at the University of California San Diego have demonstrated that one of biology's most essential enzymes can accurately ...
Phys.org / New research could improve detection of chiral molecules in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology
Ohio University Distinguished Professor Alexander Govorov of the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Institute (NQPI) in the College of Arts and Sciences has co-authored a new study ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Can U.S. parks promote safety, recreation and environmental protection?
Recently, heavy rains have caused flooding in Grand Canyon and Zion National Parks, resulting in the loss of at least two lives. In U.S. national parks, maintaining visitor safety can be complicated because it is difficult ...
Tech Xplore / Why do we trust chatbots and how can we use them more wisely? A psychologist explains
Sometime this week, you probably did it: A question came up, and instead of searching for the answer online or reaching for a book, you asked a chatbot for it.
Medical Xpress / Menopause remains inconsistently documented in electronic health record systems
More attention than ever is being paid today to midlife women's health, including the menopause transition. However, a new scoping review reveals that ongoing inconsistencies and gaps in documentation of symptoms, menopause ...
Phys.org / Bovine stem cells offer new approach to future cultivated steak research
Cultivated meat aims to produce meat from animal cells in the laboratory without needing to raise a living animal for meat production. It has been proposed as a potentially more sustainable alternative to conventional meat ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers develop new heatsink using additive manufacturing
Engineers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, are developing a new thermal-management capability to help manage heat in systems where space and weight are limited.
Medical Xpress / First human clinical trial to test precision form of FLASH proton therapy
A new form of proton therapy—designed to deliver cancer-killing radiation therapy in less than a second, through fewer sessions, with potentially less risk of damaging side effects—is now being tested in a phase 1 clinical ...
Phys.org / Mountains may offer climate refugia for one of North America's most imperiled turtles
As climate warming pushes many species toward cooler environments, high-elevation areas are expected to play an increasingly important role in biodiversity conservation. A new study by the Great Hollow Nature Preserve & Ecological ...
Medical Xpress / Large language model-based system identifies cardiac event data in cancer patients' electronic health records
Patients with breast and lung cancer are at increased risk of cardiotoxicity, or heart-related damage caused by cancer treatments, because of the proximity of the heart, lungs and breasts. Cardiotoxicity increases the risk ...
