Phys.org / Detecting neutron sources by borrowing inference tools from cosmology
Neutron sources can be directly identified from measured spectra rather than proxies using inference tools adapted from cosmology, according to a University of Michigan Engineering study published in Physical Review Applied. ...
Phys.org / Molecular nanostructures can be activated using ultrasound
Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have taken an important step toward developing intelligent molecular materials. The team headed by Dr. Bernd M. Schmidt (Institute of Organic Chemistry and Macromolecular ...
Phys.org / Did elephant energetics decide Hannibal's Alpine crossing route?
A new analysis sheds light on the most likely route for the Carthaginian general's famous crossing of the Alps. The study, led by the University of Oxford and iDiv/Friedrich Schiller University Jena, reveals that the Col ...
Phys.org / Bees reveal emotion-like reactions, from 'lip licking' to head shaking, in new videos
New research proving bumblebees exhibit emotion-like behaviors—previously thought to exist only in mammalian species—has implications for how scientists understand the consciousness of insects.
Tech Xplore / Oxide-based chip element merges processing and memory, advancing neuromorphic computing
Neuromorphic computing is a computational paradigm that mimics the way the brain functions in terms of both architecture and dynamics. It creates electronic circuits that store and process information in an integrated manner, ...
Medical Xpress / Iron helps trigger asthma-linked airway inflammation by activating pathway
Chinese researchers have revealed the key role of iron in initiating allergic airway inflammation. The study, which was published in Cell, was conducted by a team led by Prof. Sun Bing from the Center for Excellence in Molecular ...
Phys.org / Neighbors shape plant life more than expected, scientists find
Scientists at Leiden University have discovered that plants are strongly influenced by their neighbors, not just above ground but also through hidden networks in the soil. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how ...
Phys.org / Chemists capture structure of the elusive borylnitrene trapped in a crystal using X-ray
Nitrenes are the ghosts of synthetic chemistry, formed in an instant and gone just as quickly, rearranging into something entirely different. These highly reactive intermediates are widely used in synthesis, yet remain notoriously ...
Medical Xpress / Mediterranean diet is associated with better psychological well-being, study suggests
Following a Mediterranean diet may provide additional benefits for mental health. A new study has now linked it to greater psychological well-being among people over 50. The research is the result of a collaboration between ...
Medical Xpress / Halving fertility treatment costs could more than double births, major global study shows
A landmark international study has found that halving patient out-of-pocket costs was associated with a 2.67-fold increase in births achieved through assisted reproductive technology (ART).
Medical Xpress / Hormone differences could pave way for endometriosis blood test
People with endometriosis have a distinct pattern of hormones that could be identified by a blood test, with the potential to revolutionize diagnosis of the condition, research suggests. Scientists have found that those with ...
Medical Xpress / Ultra-processed foods linked to higher levels of 'bad' fatty acids in blood, study suggests
Consumption of ultra-processed food (UPF) results in a distinct metabolic "signature" in the blood, associated with potentially adverse health conditions, suggests a new study by an international team of researchers. The ...
