Phys.org / Single-shot phase imaging technique can reconstruct transparent objects
A KAIST research team led by professor Mooseok Jang from the Department of Bio and Brain Engineering has developed a single-shot phase imaging technique that reconstructs a phase object—a transparent object such as glass, ...
Phys.org / August's total solar eclipse will sweep over Spain, Iceland and Greenland
For the first time in more than a century, a total solar eclipse is coming to mainland Spain with an even longer encore next summer.
Phys.org / Quantum fluid reveals hidden states that can be switched with a magnetic field
Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are often described as a "fifth state of matter": a quantum state in which many particles lose their individual identities and behave as one collective object. For more than 60 years, researchers ...
Phys.org / Mapping monsters: Data release unveils all-sky views of supermassive black holes
Data released by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) marks a landmark expansion in the study of accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs). As part of the fifth generation of the survey (SDSS-V), the Black Hole Mapper (BHM) ...
Medical Xpress / Cannabis-derived THC shows promise for treating PTSD-related nightmares
Drastic or even life-threatening events can have lingering effects, like an echo. This is referred to as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The brain is unable to process these overwhelming experiences and stores the ...
Phys.org / Marine microbes point to ancient seawater source beneath Antarctica's Blood Falls
Salty water flowing through Antarctica's Blood Falls contains a distinct community of marine-specific microorganisms, providing evidence that the brine system beneath the glacier has a marine origin, according to a paper ...
Medical Xpress / Three proteins help organs tailor shared circadian clock to their individual needs, mouse study finds
LMU researchers have elucidated how different organs adapt the same clock machinery to regulate their individual needs over the course of a day.
Medical Xpress / From planning to action: Fundamental insights on movement planning in the brain
When the signal sounds, all the runners push off from their starting blocks and set off sprinting. We can act within fractions of a second because we plan movements in our brains in advance, before carrying them out. At the ...
Medical Xpress / Brain turns listening inward during REM sleep, EEG recordings suggest
Sleep does not isolate the brain from the world—rather, it affects how the brain balances the processing of different types of sensory information. A Swiss study shows that as we drift off to REM sleep, signals from the outside ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden DNA regulators may drive neurodevelopmental disorders by reducing FOXG1 protein
A new study from the laboratory of Gemma Carvill, Ph.D., associate professor in the Ken and Ruth Davee Department of Neurology's Division of Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology, has uncovered variants in noncoding regulatory ...
Medical Xpress / Not all exercise is equal when it comes to metabolic syndrome risk
Not every disease announces itself with obvious symptoms. Some develop quietly, going unnoticed until they begin to take a serious toll on health. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is one of them. Rather than a single disease, it ...
Phys.org / Magnetic dopants help quantum dots use light for chemical reactions
Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have demonstrated a new quantum-dot mechanism that could significantly expand the reach of light-driven chemistry. By introducing magnetic manganese dopants into semiconductor ...
