Tech Xplore / Transparent windows can shield buildings from powerful electromagnetic pulses
Electromagnetic pulses (EMPs)—high-energy-density and ultra-wideband beams of electromagnetic radiation—are generated from sources such as nuclear explosions, high-power electromagnetic pulse devices, and intentional ...
Phys.org / Real-time single-event position detection using high-radiation-tolerance GaN
Silicon semiconductors are widely used as particle detectors; however, their long-term operation is constrained by performance degradation in high-radiation environments. Researchers at University of Tsukuba have demonstrated ...
Phys.org / The infant universe's 'primordial soup' was actually soupy, study finds
In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles zinged around at light speed, creating a "quark-gluon plasma" that lasted for only a few millionths ...
Medical Xpress / High levels of testosterone in the blood raise risk of coronary artery disease in men
High levels of testosterone in the blood have been linked to a greater risk of coronary artery disease in men, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Cambridge published in The Journal of Clinical ...
Medical Xpress / How mental health has changed in baby boomers and Gen X across their entire adulthoods
It's been almost five years since the end of the COVID lockdowns. Yet the world is still continuing to learn about how mental health changed during—and after—this unprecedented time.
Phys.org / Distinct isotopes of combustion-derived water vapor identified
Water vapor (H2Ov) is an essential component of Earth's atmosphere, playing critical roles in climate regulation, weather patterns, and the water cycle. Its sources primarily come from natural processes such as ocean evaporation ...
Phys.org / Intercity quantum sensor network tightens axion dark matter constraints
Recently, scientists from institutions including the University of Science and Technology of China made a fundamental breakthrough in nuclear-spin quantum precision measurement. They developed the first intercity nuclear-spin-based ...
Phys.org / Sustainable polyurethane production without toxic isocyanate
Chemical compounds like isocyanate are toxic and trigger allergies or asthma. However, they remain indispensable for the chemical industry. They are needed especially in the production of PUR. These plastics are highly versatile ...
Phys.org / Researchers identify key gene for enhancing oil yield and quality in Jatropha
Jatropha curcas is a perennial woody plant species of the Euphorbiaceae family. This drought-resistant shrub is widely recognized for its potential to produce biodiesel and bio-jet fuel on marginal lands, avoiding competition ...
Medical Xpress / Mobile 'endoscopy on wheels' brings lifesaving GI care to rural South Africa
A study led by the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Global Surgery Program, in partnership with George Regional Hospital in South Africa, reports that a traveling mobile endoscopy team performed more than 500 procedures ...
Phys.org / Measuring the quantum extent of a single molecule confined to a nanodroplet
There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is still enormously useful as its (complex) square represents the probability density of the system ...
Phys.org / Scientists uncover dual role of sulfate-reducing bacteria in pipeline steel corrosion
A collaborative research team from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore has revealed the dual and dynamic role that sulfate-reducing bacteria ...
