Phys.org / When home is no longer safe for older women
Climate change is making Australia's housing crisis more dangerous for older women. Extreme heat, floods, fires and storms are turning insecure housing into a safety issue, not just an affordability issue.
Phys.org / New photonic crystal method improves single-photon sources for quantum networks
Quantum communication promises many advantages over today's standard technologies, including absolutely secure transmission of large amounts of data. However, it requires single photons—and generating them is very difficult. ...
Medical Xpress / Causes of traumatic brain injury vary widely worldwide, study finds
Tens of millions of people suffer from traumatic brain injuries every year worldwide, with almost 5 million deaths. Yet when it comes to improving clinical outcomes, new research suggests the solution lies far outside hospital ...
