Phys.org / Space shuttle ready for new mission in California
The space shuttle Endeavour, which took astronauts into orbit 25 times, went on display at the California Science Center on its final mission Wednesday.
Phys.org / Electron buildup at 2D interface reveals how Janus semiconductors form at room temperature
Researchers at Tohoku University have uncovered the long-standing mystery behind the synthesis of Janus two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, paving the way for more precise manufacturing of materials used in future electronics ...
Tech Xplore / Shake-powered capsule tests and disinfects unsafe drinking water
It is a sobering fact that in the 21st century, 1 in 4 people still lack access to safe, clean drinking water, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The figures increase slightly during natural disasters, when ...
Phys.org / The 2 earthquakes that struck Venezuela are known as a 'doublet.' Here's how they happen
The two powerful earthquakes that struck Venezuela's northern coast, killing more than 180 people, were an event known as a "doublet."
Phys.org / Did gravitational tides cause Earth's extinctions?
Life on Earth took a long evolutionary journey that eventually created us, the purportedly intelligent species that dominates the planet. But there was no grand plan or design, only happenstance, nature and luck. Life on ...
Medical Xpress / Immune cell–fibroblast crosstalk may be the key trigger of autoimmune diseases
In autoimmune disorders, immune cells targeting "self" proteins are mistakenly activated, resulting in abnormal expansion and responsiveness. These disorders are known to reduce patients' quality of life over a prolonged ...
Medical Xpress / Bandage-like device delivers hydrogen sulfide to wounds, boosting blood flow where healing stalls
For most people, a blister or small cut is an inconvenience. For others, it can become something much more serious.
Phys.org / Experiment upends beliefs on how electrons actually behave in warm dense matter
Researchers at European XFEL, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), Rostock University and other collaborating institutions have used high-precision experiments to demonstrate that the most widely used models for the ...
Phys.org / Nearly isotropic superconducting property revealed in trilayer nickelate
A research team led by Prof. Zhang Jinglei from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, found that the trilayer nickelate La4Ni3O10-δ exhibits a nearly isotropic upper critical field under high ...
Phys.org / Plasma approach keeps catalysts working for longer in hydrogen production
Scientists from the University of Manchester have shown how a plasma-based approach, using nonthermal plasma—an electrically energized gas often described as the fourth state of matter—can prevent catalyst deactivation in ...
Medical Xpress / Young New Zealanders are waiting too long for bowel cancer diagnosis, study finds
Younger people with bowel cancer in Aotearoa are waiting months for a diagnosis, are frequently misdiagnosed and often receive little information and support, according to the largest nationwide study of its kind published ...
Phys.org / Scientists design 'tunable' biomolecules to probe how sugars behave
Sugars are not just a source of energy—they also play a crucial role in how cells communicate, how proteins interact and how materials behave in medicine and industry. But studying these processes is challenging because sugar ...
