Phys.org / Prussian Blue finally transformed into octahedral structure after 300 years
For the first time in more than three centuries, Prussian Blue—long confined to its rigid cubic shape—has been transformed into an octahedral structure. A research team has successfully synthesized this new morphology ...
Phys.org / Revisiting a 100-year-old medical treatment to tackle the growing crisis of antibiotic resistance
Every minute, all around us, battles are fought on a microscopic level. Bacteriophages (also known as phages) are viruses that infect and kill bacteria. Just like viruses that infect us, these phages seek to steal the resources ...
Phys.org / The role of nanoscale crystals in volcanic eruptions
Researchers at Diamond Light Source have used advanced imaging to look at microscopic crystals, called nanolites, to see what they can tell us about volcanic eruptions.
Phys.org / Intimate partner violence services fall short for women with disabilities, says researcher
Women with disabilities who are exposed to intimate partner violence are doubly affected—both by abuse and by the inadequacy of society's support system. This is shown in a new thesis at Umeå University with recommendations ...
Phys.org / This star is consuming its companion and could explode brilliantly
Binary star systems are not rare. Neither are systems where one star is a remnant like a white dwarf or neutron star, and its companion is on the main sequence. In those systems, the dense remnant can draw material away from ...
Phys.org / How Indigenous fire stewardship continues to shape North American forests
Indigenous knowledge and Western science are coming together to develop diverse, resilient and just fire restoration practices that support our forests, which are critically important in navigating a warming future with increased ...
Phys.org / Videos show how high-speed tongues of salamanders and chameleons are helping unlock engineering breakthroughs
The tongues of chameleons and salamanders might not seem like the inspiration for tomorrow's engineering breakthroughs, but inside the Deban Laboratory at the University of South Florida, biology and engineering are colliding ...
Medical Xpress / AI model helps identify therapeutic antibodies to boost pandemic preparedness
Scientists at Scripps Research have developed a novel method that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced imaging techniques to more accurately and efficiently identify therapeutic antibodies to treat infectious diseases.
Phys.org / Astrophysicists find sun's 11-year magnetic cycle mirrors younger stars, shaping Earth's space weather
Most places on Earth have seasons because our planet is on a tilt as it orbits the sun. But our star also has its own version of seasons that affect life on Earth—and new astronomical research is helping us better understand ...
Phys.org / From risk factor to survival advantage: How tuberculosis has shaped meerkat evolution
Meerkats genetically adapt to a species-specific form of tuberculosis according to a long-term study by an international research team led by Ulm University. The scientists also found that climate change in the Kalahari Desert ...
Phys.org / Rising heat waves are tied to fossil fuel and cement production
According to ETH Zurich climate researchers, greenhouse gas emissions from major fossil fuel and cement producers are significant contributors to the occurrence and intensity of heat waves.
Tech Xplore / Microsoft avoids EU antitrust fine with Teams commitments
The EU said Friday it had accepted Microsoft's commitment to more clearly separate the Teams communications app from its Office products—sparing the US tech giant a hefty antitrust fine.
