Phys.org / Quantum dots reveal entropy production, a key measure of nanoscale energy dissipation
In order to build the computers and devices of tomorrow, we have to understand how they use energy today. That's harder than it sounds. Memory storage, information processing, and energy use in these technologies involve ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds immune markers at two months tied to longer survival in glioblastoma trial
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified blood-based biomarkers that can help distinguish patients with glioblastoma who are most likely to live longer from novel treatment with an ...
Phys.org / Why only a small number of planets are suitable for life
For life to develop on a planet, certain chemical elements are needed in sufficient quantities. Phosphorus and nitrogen are essential. Phosphorus is vital for the formation of DNA and RNA, which store and transmit genetic ...
Medical Xpress / Mindfulness enables more effective endoscopies in awake patients, study finds
A new study has shown that mindfulness helps patients to relax during an endoscopy, allowing doctors to carry out detailed examinations without the need for sedation or general anesthesia.
Phys.org / A smashing success: Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider wraps up final collisions
Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions—oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons—circulated through the twin 2.4-mile-circumference rings of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and ...
Tech Xplore / Instagram boss to testify at social media addiction trial
Instagram chief Adam Mosseri is to be called to testify Wednesday in a Los Angeles courtroom by lawyers out to prove social media is dangerously addictive by design to young, vulnerable minds.
Medical Xpress / Study finds addiction consults led to opioid treatment for eye infection patients
People who use injection drugs are at a higher risk for eye infections, particularly endogenous endophthalmitis—a medical emergency caused by bacteria or fungi entering the bloodstream to reach the inside of the eye. These ...
Phys.org / Planting tree belts on wet farmland comes with an overlooked trade-off
A research team has conducted a study to examine how shelterbelts influence bird species diversity and composition in an agricultural wetland landscape on the western coast of central Japan. They determined that shelterbelts, ...
Phys.org / Stellar remnants may solve mystery of missing mass in galaxy clusters
Under the leadership of the University of Bonn, a research team led by Prof. Dr. Pavel Kroupa from the Helmholtz Institute for Radiation and Nuclear Physics has discovered that galaxy clusters are about twice as heavy as ...
Phys.org / From fins to fingers: How nature 'redeployed' ancient genes to shape limbs
How did the complexity of many organisms living today evolve from the simpler body plans of their ancestors? This is a central question in biology. Take our hands, for example: Every time we type a message on our mobile phone, ...
Phys.org / Tiny Enceladus exercises giant electromagnetic influence at Saturn
A major study by an international team of researchers using data from the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft has revealed a lattice-like structure of crisscrossing reflected waves that flow downstream behind the moon in Saturn's ...
Phys.org / Five ways quantum technology could shape everyday life
The unveiling by IBM of two new quantum supercomputers and Denmark's plans to develop "the world's most powerful commercial quantum computer" mark just two of the latest developments in quantum technology's increasingly rapid ...
