Tech Xplore / This fuel crisis could last for a while. It's time for a new approach to fuel use—end it
Australia is in the middle of a fuel crisis, but the way the state and federal governments have chosen to respond signals a firm commitment to fossil fuels.
Tech Xplore / Tag-teaming turbulence: Frontier supercomputer trains AI to model cosmic storms
Researchers used the world's fastest supercomputer for open science to train an artificial intelligence model that captures magnetic turbulence within a plasma in unprecedented detail. Results from the model, trained on the ...
Phys.org / Simple mineral treatment rescues flaxseed oil, slashing bitterness and keeping omega-3-rich flavor intact
How can the mild flavor of flaxseed oil be preserved for longer? A research team led by Roman Lang from the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich has investigated this question. ...
Phys.org / Simple synthetic strategy converts blue-emissive molecules into multicolor luminescent materials
Chemistry involves the fundamental interplay between the structures and properties of molecules. Notably, subtle changes in molecular structure and crystal packing can be amplified into macroscopic phenomena such as optical ...
Phys.org / E-commerce warehouse data offers insight into worker behavior
In an e-commerce warehouse, worker performance is influenced by the performance of those around them, despite a system that discourages interaction, according to research from Caitlin Ray, ILR assistant professor in the Human ...
Phys.org / Theoretical models of supernova chemistry overhauled after X-ray data from Perseus Cluster reveal key discrepancies
The Perseus Cluster is a massive galaxy cluster located in the constellation Perseus. It is one of the largest structures in the observable universe, comprising more than a thousand galaxies—equivalent to roughly a thousand ...
Phys.org / I've fired one of America's most powerful lasers—here's what a shot day looks like
If you walk across the open yard in front of the Physics, Math and Astronomy building at the University of Texas at Austin, you'll see a 17-story tower and a huge L-shaped building. What you won't see is what's underneath ...
Phys.org / Wafer-scale 2D magnetic films emerge thanks to a new low-defect growth technique
In a major advance, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have devised a method to grow high-quality 2D magnetic materials (2D-MMs) over centimeter-scale wafers. Earlier approaches in the field were limited ...
Medical Xpress / Real-world MRI data confirm shared brain signatures of mental health disorders
Over 1 billion people worldwide are living with one or more mental health disorders that affect their mood, thinking processes and behavior, impacting their daily functioning to varying degrees. Identifying variations in ...
Phys.org / Editing grapevine DNA could boost resistance to disease and drought
For the first time, a team of researchers from Stellenbosch University (SU) and the Agricultural Research Council has successfully edited the DNA of a woody crop plant in Africa by making precise changes to its genetic material. ...
Phys.org / Titan's lakes may spawn 10-foot waves in gentle winds, new model suggests
On a calm day, a light breeze might barely ripple the surface of a lake on Earth. But on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, a similar mild wind would kick up 10-foot-tall waves. This otherworldly behavior is one prediction from ...
Medical Xpress / Novel 3D brain marker predicts surgical success in dementia-causing hydrocephalus
Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have identified a new geometric marker of the brain ventricles that could help predict which patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) will benefit from ...
