Tech Xplore / Polymer electrolyte lets the ions flow for solid-state batteries
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have uncovered a path to design superionic polymer electrolytes for solid-state batteries and other energy applications that could help ensure a future ...
Phys.org / Biochar has limited effect on potato yields—but may improve soil and climate
In a three-year project, researchers at NIBIO have tested how biochar affects potato yields and soil quality under Norwegian conditions. The results show that biochar has little effect on yield, but that it may offer other ...
Phys.org / It's OK to love all the bees (the honey bees, too)
North America's bee populations are in trouble, but don't blame the honey bees. While some people argue that an overabundance of managed honey bees—those raised to help pollinate crops and produce honey—is causing native ...
Medical Xpress / What are motor skills? Evidence‑based ways to support children's fine and gross motor development
Motor skills are foundational for a lifetime of movement. For children, they play a vital role not only in facilitating physical activity levels but also for cognitive and socio-emotional development and school readiness.
Medical Xpress / Long-term excess weight, not one-time BMI, can better predict cardiovascular risk
Obesity is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but people's weights can shift over time, and little is known about the cumulative impact of excess weight. New research from investigators at Mass General Brigham ...
Phys.org / Taming skyrmions: Atom-thin magnets point to ultra-dense, low-power memory
Data is growing at a staggering pace, pushing charge-based microelectronics, such as smartphones and laptops, to their physical limits. Spintronics—technology that uses electron spin rather than charge—avoids the limits of ...
Phys.org / Twin NASA control rooms support Artemis safety, success
Twin control rooms at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, are actively supporting real-time mission operations in lunar orbit as part of the agency's Artemis II mission, helping ensure astronaut safety ...
Medical Xpress / Sport clubs became lifelines during public health crisis, research shows
Sport clubs became lifelines for vulnerable communities during the COVID pandemic, new research by the University of Stirling has shown. The study found many groups transformed their role from sport providers into critical ...
Tech Xplore / Solar-powered device disinfects drinking water in under an hour
For many people living in developed nations, towns and cities take care of ensuring that residents' water is clean and safe. Municipalities have advanced filters and UV light disinfection technologies at their disposal. Some ...
Phys.org / Emperor penguins listed as endangered species: IUCN
The emperor penguin has been declared an endangered species as climate change pushes the icon of Antarctica a step closer to extinction, the global authority on threatened wildlife announced on Thursday.
Phys.org / New Artemis II 'Earthset' shot revisits Apollo 8's iconic 'Earthrise,' 57 years on
The Artemis II astronauts snapped a stunning shot of Earthset—the moment when Earth dips below the moon's horizon—on their long journey back home Tuesday after wrapping up a historic lunar flyby.
Medical Xpress / AI-based monitoring reveals protein deficiencies in people taking GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight loss
Adults with overweight or obesity taking the new generation of weight loss drugs semaglutide and tirzepatide tend to eat significantly less, leaving them vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies, according to one of the first ...
