Phys.org / Light reveals transient electronic step behind a hidden state in metal-organic framework
A fleeting photoinduced electronic state and the subsequent formation of a photoinduced hidden state in a metal–organic framework were captured in just 30 femtoseconds by researchers at Science Tokyo, Tohoku University and ...
Medical Xpress / Stretchable antenna keeps wearable health sensors in tune with human health
Wearable health monitors are designed to move with the body. But for many devices, movement creates a problem: The more a person bends, stretches, reaches or runs, the harder it can be for the device to keep a stable wireless ...
Phys.org / First 3D views explain how primate cone pigments distinguish red from green
Human color vision depends on three types of cone cells in the retina. Although all three contain the same light-absorbing molecule, 11-cis-retinal, differences in the surrounding protein determine sensitivity to red, green ...
Tech Xplore / Inspired by how children learn, new AI framework learns to theorize the world from observations
A KAIST research team has developed a next-generation world model, an internal model an AI builds to understand and predict the world, that learns executable theories from observation alone.
Phys.org / Quantum internet leaves the lab with first real-world entanglement over busy telecom fiber
Quantum information is notoriously fragile. Internet traffic is anything but. Yet Northwestern University scientists have demonstrated they can peacefully coexist inside the same fiber-optic cable.
Phys.org / Hidden DNA copying may give bacteria a faster route to antibiotic resistance
The dangers of antibiotic overuse have become increasingly clear in recent decades. Excessive use accelerates the evolution of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, raising the alarming prospect of infections that no longer ...
Phys.org / Global North-South income gap has widened dramatically
The income gap between the global north (the advanced economies of the core) and the global south (the developing economies of the periphery) has increased by between 170% and 270% since 1960, according to a study by ICTA-UAB ...
Medical Xpress / Smart wound dressing speeds up healing by triggering body's own repair signals
A bioinspired material developed by scientists at Imperial College London accelerates wound healing and the repair of human skin. The material captures the body's own healing proteins, releasing them only when repair cells ...
Phys.org / Exploring why societies around the world no longer bury their dead at home
There are countless cultures and societies around the world, spanning thousands of years. One thing they all have in common is that death is a part of everybody's life. Examining how different societies commemorate their ...
Medical Xpress / Teens who struggle to log off social media could face increased ADHD symptoms over time
Social media has become as much a part of our daily lives as eating or sleeping. What started as a way for people to connect and share pictures has grown into a billion-dollar industry that shapes medical, political, and ...
Medical Xpress / Conventional lecterns outperformed by ergonomic prototype in usability tests
Lecterns have been a feature of public speaking for centuries. Research in the International Journal of Human Factors and Ergonomics has developed a new design based on body measurements and working patterns of university ...
Medical Xpress / New study identifies behaviors influencing prescribing decisions for new medicines in neurodegenerative diseases
A new pan-European study has identified the key behavioral factors that influence whether health care professionals prescribe new, novel or nonroutine treatments for patients with neurodegenerative diseases.
