Phys.org / Gold nanoparticles that behave like a liquid open path to adaptive materials
When inorganic nanoparticles come together, their optical, electronic, and magnetic properties depend strongly on how they are arranged. Being able to reorganize these arrangements in a controlled way could therefore provide ...
Phys.org / Large-scale eDNA survey reveals hidden factors that affect regional fish communities
As climate change and human activities continually ramp up, fish are forced to find ways to adapt. As fish move around to find more suitable habitats as ocean conditions shift, regional fish distributions change—which can ...
Phys.org / Sex-related differences in hoverfly eyes give insight into their aerodynamic powers
Many male hoverflies have bigger eyes than females, giving them the advantage of better optics and faster photoreceptors in high-speed pursuits to find a preferred partner to breed.
Phys.org / Industrial fishing has been depleting midwater fish for decades, new study finds
A new study led by scientists at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution finds that industrial-scale fishing has been removing substantial biomass from the ocean's "twilight zone" for decades, challenging the common assumption ...
Medical Xpress / People with premenstrual dysphoric disorder have higher rates of suicidal thinking, planning and attempts
People with premenstrual dysphoric disorder—a more serious form of premenstrual syndrome, commonly known as PMS—are more likely to experience suicidal thoughts and behaviors than people without it.
Phys.org / TIME instrument unlocks faint signals from early galaxies across vast stretches of sky
Cornell astronomers are deploying a new instrument that grants them, for the first time, a better view of the universe's earliest galaxies, which can't be observed individually with traditional ground- or space-based telescopes.
Phys.org / Under mushroom caps, 17-plus bacterial species help drive stubborn blotch disease
A University of Florida study has made a key discovery in understanding a disease that for over a century has plagued the white button mushroom—a nutrient-dense vegetable that is valued for its versatility and health benefits. ...
Medical Xpress / Your voice changes when you're tired or exerting effort, and machines may soon use that signal
The "talk test" is often used as a low-tech way to measure exercise intensity: If you can easily talk or even sing, your workout is fairly light, but if conversation is difficult, you are exercising vigorously.
Phys.org / How studying friendship has changed the way I understand my own loneliness
A few years ago, I had just moved into a house.
Phys.org / AI generates first complete models of proteins in motion
Many drug and antibody discovery pathways focus on intricately folded cell membrane proteins. When molecules of a drug candidate bind to these proteins, like a key going into a lock, they trigger chemical cascades that alter ...
Medical Xpress / A look at major Ebola outbreaks and when the disease was first identified
African health officials say there is a new Ebola outbreak in the Central African country of Congo, with at least 246 suspected cases and 65 deaths.
Phys.org / Fossil teeth from China uncover 400,000-year-old H. erectus ties to Denisovans
Scientists from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have uncovered new information suggesting a potential connection between Homo erectus and modern humans, ...
