Phys.org / Femtosecond laser technique captures elusive atomic oxygen in water
A never-before-seen image of individual oxygen atoms dissolved in water has been captured.
Medical Xpress / Alcohol-linked DNA damage tied to cancer risk: Study reveals repair enzyme's role
Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from IOCB Prague has now described in detail how cells repair this damaged genetic information.
Tech Xplore / New algorithm enables wireless communications without perceptible delays in industrial environments
A team of researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) has developed an innovative algorithm for Wi‑Fi networks called "Ponte" that can provide communication in industrial ...
Phys.org / High-energy photons drive conversion of greenhouse gases into high-value chemicals, no catalyst needed
Scientists have found a way to turn carbon dioxide and methane, the two most notorious greenhouse gases, into useful chemicals without any expensive catalysts, using only light.
Phys.org / People tend to overestimate others' emotions, but this may boost empathy
According to a new study led by Prof. Anat Perry and her Ph.D. student, Shir Genzer, of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, together with Prof. Noga Cohen from the University of Haifa, chances are you're overestimating just ...
Phys.org / AI and underwater recordings reveal bowhead whale breeding grounds in Arctic sea ice
If bowhead whales produce particularly varied and diverse calls in one area, it is very likely that the area is a breeding ground. The species occurs exclusively in the Arctic Ocean and is therefore endemic to this region.
Tech Xplore / What to know about bidding war between Netflix and Paramount for Warner Bros.
Warner Bros. is telling shareholders of the company that it believes a $72 billion buyout offer from Netflix is superior, and to reject a hostile takeover bid from Paramount Skydance.
Phys.org / Scientists uncover how microbial consortia break down lignin
Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a "top-down" synthetic microbiome strategy to enrich microbial consortia capable of efficient lignin degradation from straw ...
Phys.org / Embrace chaos to get lifelike movement from synthetic materials, researchers say
When people think of high-powered machines, they'd likely think of muscle cars before their own muscles. But muscles and other living tissues can do energetic things very quickly—they twitch, snap and beat—which is how ...
Phys.org / Supernova immersion model suggests Earth-like planets are more common in the universe
Rocky planets like our Earth may be far more common than previously thought, according to new research published in the journal Science Advances. It suggests that when our solar system formed, a nearby supernova (the massive ...
Medical Xpress / 40% of MRI signals do not correspond to actual brain activity, study suggests
For almost three decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been one of the main tools in brain research. Yet a new study published in Nature Neuroscience fundamentally challenges the way fMRI data have so ...
Medical Xpress / 'Molecular glue' stabilizes protein that inhibits development of non-small cell lung cancer
Lung cancer is the second-most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Over 80% of lung cancers are non-small cell lung cancers, in which tumor cells are larger and grow more slowly than ...
