Tech Xplore / Copper thin films reveal ballistic electron transport that could reshape future chip wiring
A joint research team has experimentally observed ballistic transport in single-crystalline copper thin films, demonstrating that ballistic transport is achievable in an industry-standard metal at interconnect-relevant dimensions. ...
Phys.org / One storm pushed world's rarest great ape closer to extinction in Sumatra
Climate change-fueled landslides wiped out nearly one in 10 remaining members of the world's rarest great ape species on Indonesia's Sumatra island, scientists said Wednesday.
Phys.org / DNA design unlocks nanometer-scale catalyst control for cleaner hydrogen production
The fixed idea that DNA is only a molecule that stores genetic information is being challenged. KAIST researchers have developed a technology that controls the chemical environment around catalysts at the nanometer scale ...
Dialog / A 170 km journey by a freshwater stingray challenges long-held conservation assumptions
Most sharks and rays inhabit the oceans, but a small proportion thrive in freshwater. Approximately 4% to 5% of all shark and ray species live in tropical and subtropical rivers around the world. Two main ecological strategies ...
Phys.org / Borneo's ferret badger is found nowhere else on Earth
A collaborative study has provided the most comprehensive assessment to date of the endangered Bornean ferret badger (Melogale everetti). Weighing only around one kilogram (2.2 pounds), the Bornean ferret badger is a small, ...
Phys.org / Novel forecasting model developed to predict river temperature
The temperature of rivers is something most people think about only if they plan to go swimming, kayaking or spend a day fishing. Few consider how it could potentially affect their electricity bill.
Phys.org / Neutron star merger simulations gain new precision with AI-driven r-process heating
Using a novel simulation model based on machine learning, an international research team at GSI/FAIR has succeeded in gaining a deeper understanding of element formation in stellar events such as neutron star mergers. For ...
Tech Xplore / The consequences of relying on AI for accurate news
It's no secret that the last few years have seen a massive explosion in the use of artificial intelligence for general information-gathering. An even more recent trend, though, is how large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, ...
Phys.org / Would you buy milk from a gene‑edited cow? Consumers may be more open than you think
As temperatures rise, New Zealand's dairy farmers face a growing challenge: keeping cows cool enough to remain productive. Heat stress can reduce milk production, harm animals and lower the environmental efficiency of dairy ...
Phys.org / Retreating glaciers increase iceberg sightings and reshape deep-sea habitats
The number of icebergs in the Arctic has increased sharply since the 2000s. This is due to the destabilization of large glaciers in northeast Greenland and parts of the Russian Arctic, as well as the increasing mobility of ...
Medical Xpress / ADA: Once-weekly cagrilintide + semaglutide promising in type 2 diabetes
Once-weekly cagrilintide, an amylin receptor agonist, plus semaglutide is efficacious for adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with diet and exercise, receiving metformin with or without a sodium glucose cotransporter ...
Phys.org / Koala population crash came before humans, genomic study reveals
A genomic study has reshaped our understanding of the evolutionary history of the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), revealing the iconic Australian marsupial experienced a severe population decline around 100,000 years ago, ...
