Phys.org / Tiny flexible lasers enable force sensing inside living cells
Researchers have developed tiny flexible lasers that can be used to measure forces inside living cells. The new lasers could help illuminate various biological processes, including those involved in early development and ...
Phys.org / Journalism classes lack a consistent approach to AI use across institutions
Artificial intelligence is steadily becoming more embedded in journalism; part of how journalists write, edit, research and more. But little is known about how future journalists are learning about the technology. New research ...
Phys.org / Beer waste may become sunscreen ingredient after spent hops show promising UV protection
Research conducted at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil revealed that hops (Humulus lupulus L.) industrial waste from the brewing industry is a viable option for sunscreen formulation production. The multidisciplinary ...
Medical Xpress / Lung scans can reveal important differences in sarcoidosis severity according to new study
A new study by researchers at National Jewish Health and collaborating institutions has found that different patterns seen on lung scans can signal how severe sarcoidosis may be, and how it affects breathing. The research ...
Phys.org / Defect engineering lifts chalcopyrite thermoelectrics to record performance
A research team led by Prof. Zhang Jian at the Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. Xiao Chong from the University of Science and ...
Science X / Personalized brain-training approach goes after one of depression's hardest-to-break loops
Depression is a debilitating mental health disorder characterized by persistent low mood, a loss of interest in everyday activities, repetitive negative thinking and possible changes in appetite and/or sleeping patterns. ...
Phys.org / Spintronics at BESSY II: Real-time analysis of magnetic bilayer systems
Spintronic devices enable data processing with significantly lower energy consumption. They are based on the interaction between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic layers. Now, a team from Freie Universität Berlin, HZB and ...
Phys.org / Frozen in dry ice, hydrogen reveals a surprisingly simple way to control quantum behavior
A new study by University of Maryland chemical physicists demonstrates how to control the nuclear spin of molecular hydrogen (H2) by simply freezing it in dry ice. This new technique, published in the journal Physical Review ...
Medical Xpress / A routine virus can slow breast cancer spread to the lungs, offering hidden protective power
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), mostly infects the lungs, nose, throat, and respiratory tract, and can cause illness ranging from mild cold and fever-like symptoms to severe pneumonia and bronchitis. A recent study has ...
Phys.org / Antibodies need a strong core—not just grip—to fight SARS-CoV-2
An international research team has identified a previously overlooked factor that influences how antibodies neutralize SARS-CoV-2: their mechanical stability under force. Antibodies are key components of the immune system ...
Phys.org / Microscopic sensors uncover how liquids turn glassy without structural change
A scientific discovery by researchers at Tel Aviv University's School of Chemistry offers a new perspective on a long-standing scientific mystery: how does a flowing liquid suddenly become a rigid, almost frozen material, ...
Science X / The keyboard trap: Why your best arguments are failing online
While 84% of people prefer to type out a disagreement, new research involving 1,842 conversations reveals that the "safer" choice is actually fueling social friction. In an era of digital flame wars and rising political partisanship, ...
