Phys.org / Jupiter's hidden depths: Simulation suggests planet holds 1.5 times more oxygen than the sun
Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on the gas giant—so thick that no spacecraft has been able to measure exactly what lies beneath.
Tech Xplore / Emerging solar cell material sets new efficiency record
UNSW engineers have made a major step forward in the development of a new type of solar cell that could help make future solar panels cheaper, more efficient and more durable.
Phys.org / Drones reveal how feral horse units keep boundaries
For social animals, encounters between rival groups can often lead to conflict. While some species avoid this by maintaining fixed territories, others, like the feral horses, live in a "multilevel society" where multiple ...
Phys.org / Single Brucella species found to drive livestock infections in Cameroon
As part of its ongoing efforts to combat brucellosis, a serious and often neglected disease endemic to many low- and middle-income countries around the world, a team of researchers from the Texas A&M College of Veterinary ...
Phys.org / North Atlantic deep waters show slower renewal as ocean ventilation weakens
The ocean is continuously ventilated when surface waters sink and transport, for example, oxygen and carbon to greater depths. The efficiency of this process can be estimated using the so-called water age, which describes ...
Phys.org / Identifying corrosion initiation sites in aluminum alloys
Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a new technique to identify the initiation sites of a destructive process called pitting corrosion, which occurs when aluminum (Al) alloys are exposed to sodium chloride solutions. ...
Phys.org / Radio telescopes on the moon could let us observe dozens of black hole shadows
We now have direct images of two supermassive black holes: M87* and Sag A*. The fact that we can capture such images is remarkable, but they might be the only black holes we can observe. That is, unless we take radio astronomy ...
Tech Xplore / Why AI has not led to mass unemployment
People have become used to living with AI fairly quickly. ChatGPT is barely three years old, but has changed the way many of us communicate or deal with large amounts of information.
Phys.org / Failed battery chemistry offers new way to destroy PFAS
Researchers in the lab of Asst. Prof. Chibueze Amanchukwu at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) have spent three years looking for failure, scouring the academic literature for ...
Phys.org / Experiments bring Enceladus' subsurface ocean into the lab
Through new experiments, researchers in Japan and Germany have recreated the chemical conditions found in the subsurface ocean of Saturn's moon, Enceladus. Published in Icarus, the results show that these conditions can readily ...
Phys.org / Q&A: How AI changes NASA's search for life in outer space
Alicja Ostrowska's doctoral thesis "Life and AI at NASA" examines how artificial intelligence is transforming the way science is conducted within some of the world's most ambitious space projects. The study investigates how ...
Phys.org / Unlocking genetic code of crop-damaging fungus paves way for better disease control
Researchers from CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, have unlocked the most detailed genetic blueprint yet of a major soil-borne crop pathogen—an advance that paves the way for better crop disease management in ...
