Phys.org / Physicists trace the sun's magnetic engine, 200,000 kilometers below its surface
Every eleven years, the sun's magnetic field flips. Sunspots—dark, cooler regions on the sun's surface that mark intense magnetic activity and often trigger solar eruptions—appear at mid-latitudes and migrate toward the ...
Phys.org / Not just spin—electron orbitals can provide new method for controlling magnetism
Research is actively underway to develop a "dream memory" that can reduce heat generation in smartphones and laptops while delivering faster performance and lower power consumption. Korean researchers propose a new possibility ...
Medical Xpress / Hope for preventing stomach cancer: Drug candidate proves extremely effective against H. pylori
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have increased the effectiveness of a standard antibiotic by a factor of 60 through targeted chemical modifications. In laboratory and animal studies, the new drug candidate ...
Tech Xplore / Top AI coding tools make mistakes one in four times, study shows
New research from the University of Waterloo shows that artificial intelligence (AI) still struggles with some basic software development tasks, raising questions about how reliably AI systems can assist developers. As Large ...
Phys.org / Mystery of quinine biosynthesis solved with newly discovered enzymes
For over 350 years, quinine and other extracts from the cinchona tree (Cinchona spp.) were the only effective medicines against malaria, a tropical fever caused by single-celled parasites of the genus Plasmodium and transmitted ...
Medical Xpress / Masked T‑cell engagers: Cancer immunotherapies for the future?
A new immunotherapy drug has demonstrated early promise in a recent prostate cancer clinical trial. The drug, called VIR-5500, is a "masked T-cell engager." This type of immunotherapy ignites our own immune arsenal to fight ...
Medical Xpress / Premature menopause raises long-term heart risk by 40%, large study reveals
Women who enter natural menopause before age 40 face about a 40% higher lifetime risk of developing coronary heart disease than women who experience menopause later, according to a large Northwestern Medicine study that is ...
Phys.org / A galaxy next door is transforming, and astronomers can see it happening
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is one of the Milky Way's closest galactic neighbors—a small, gas-rich galaxy visible to the naked eye from the southern hemisphere, and bound to our galaxy by gravity, alongside its companion, ...
Medical Xpress / Links between brain regions could predict the efficacy of antidepressants
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a severe form of depression characterized by a persistent low mood, hopelessness, disruptions in sleep and/or eating habits, as well as a loss of motivation and interest in daily activities. ...
Tech Xplore / New chip lets robots see in 4D by tracking distance and speed simultaneously
Current vision systems for robots and drones rely on 3D sensors that, although powerful, do not always keep up with the fast-paced, unpredictable movement of the real world. These systems often struggle to measure speed instantly ...
Phys.org / Ultrathin BiFeO₃ breaks the 30 nm limit, delivering fourfold stronger piezoelectricity
Piezoelectric materials, which convert mechanical stress into electricity and vice versa, are essential components in sensors, actuators, and energy-harvesting devices. However, the best piezoelectric materials, such as lead ...
Phys.org / Location of reforestation projects has greater effect on climate than number of trees planted, study shows
In the fight against the climate crisis, countries are pinning great hope in reforestation projects. In a new study, ETH Zurich researchers show that the location in which reforestation is taking place is usually more important ...
