Phys.org / Scientists demonstrate low-cost, high-quality lenses for super-resolution microscopy
Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution imaging, with each lens costing less than $1 to produce. The ...
Phys.org / Microbubbles can release microplastics into our water
Microbubbles in the tap water you just poured into a plastic glass are strong enough to create tiny abrasions on the inner layer of the plastic—quietly adding to our growing microplastic problem.
Phys.org / Birding enthusiasts can help songbirds avoid Salmonella epidemics
UCLA biologists are developing a tool to predict when deadly Salmonella outbreaks are likely to happen in wild songbird populations so that people can protect their feathered friends by taking down bird feeders at the right ...
Phys.org / How news language and social networks affect the spread of immigration attitudes
A study in Economic Inquiry reveals how changes in immigration attitudes in an area spread to other localities and highlights the role of media language and social networks in shaping political attitudes.
Phys.org / Magnetic fields slow carbon migration in iron by altering energy barriers, study shows
Professor Dallas Trinkle and colleagues have provided the first quantitative explanation for how magnetic fields slow carbon atom movement through iron, a phenomenon first observed in the 1970s but never fully understood. ...
Phys.org / The orbiting factories of the future
Imagine a fully automated 3D printer suspended in midair, churning out crucial components for use at home and abroad.
Phys.org / Glazed sherds in remote Gobi Desert reveal ancient Persian trade connections
In a study published in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, Dr. Ellery Frahm and his colleagues analyzed two unusual blue-green glazed ceramic sherds discovered in the Gobi Desert in 2016.
Phys.org / New massive hot subdwarf binary discovered
Astronomers report the discovery of a new binary system, designated LAMOST J065816.72+094343.1. The newfound binary consists of a massive and hot subdwarf and an unseen companion. The finding was detailed in the January issue ...
Phys.org / Meta-analysis challenges the link between economic inequality and mental health
Does living in an unequal society make people unhappy? Not necessarily, reveals the largest study ever conducted on the subject. Nicolas Sommet, a social psychologist and research manager at the LIVES Centre at the University ...
Phys.org / Deformable lens enables real-time correction of image aberrations in single-pixel microscopy
Researchers from the Optics Group at the Universitat Jaume I in Castellón have managed to correct in real time problems related to image aberrations in single-pixel microscopy using a recent technology: programmable deformable ...
Medical Xpress / Colorado ranks among the highest states in the country for flu
Colorado is in the midst of a record-breaking flu season. In the week ending Dec. 27, 2025, 831 people were hospitalized with influenza—the most since the state started tracking flu cases two decades ago. Hospitalizations ...
Tech Xplore / What can technology do to stop AI-generated sexualized images?
The global outcry over the sexualization and nudification of photographs—including of children—by Grok, the chatbot developed by Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI, has led to urgent discussions about how ...
