Phys.org / Scalable quantum batteries can charge faster than their classical counterparts
Over the past decades, energy engineers have developed increasingly advanced battery technologies that can store more energy, charge faster and maintain their performance for longer. In recent years, some researchers have ...
Medical Xpress / Modeling suggests climate change could drive millions into physical inactivity by 2050
Rising temperatures due to climate change could drive millions more adults globally into physical inactivity by 2050, being linked to hundreds of thousands of premature deaths and billions of dollars in lost productivity, ...
Phys.org / What you study in school shapes your voting choices in adulthood
Across Europe, education has become one of the biggest dividing lines in politics, and educational qualifications are now one of the best predictors of vote choice in Britain. This is particularly the case for new parties ...
Tech Xplore / New model tests hundreds of MTA subway flood defenses in one minute
As transit agencies face growing climate risks and limited capital budgets, deciding which flood protection measures to implement—and where—has become a critical challenge. Now, a research team at NYU Tandon School of ...
Tech Xplore / Human brain and AI speech recognition decode speech in similar step-by-step stages, study finds
Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process human speech in different languages. The extent to which these models replicate the brain processes ...
Phys.org / Hydrogen atmosphere could keep exomoons habitable for billions of years
Liquid water is considered essential for life. Surprisingly, however, stable conditions that are conducive to life could exist far from any sun. A research team from the Excellence Cluster ORIGINS at LMU and the Max Planck ...
Medical Xpress / A first-of-its-kind tool helps Parkinson's patients decide if deep brain stimulation is right for them
Deciding if and when to pursue deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be overwhelming for people with Parkinson's disease. While DBS is one of the most effective interventions for movement symptoms, it's also among the most complex. ...
Phys.org / Satellite mapping reveals recent and large-scale habitat changes across the Southern Ocean's seascapes
New research reveals that changes following the recent and dramatic decline in Antarctic sea ice could help a low-nutritional species prosper, with major ramifications for food webs and biogeochemical cycles. The findings ...
Medical Xpress / One-third of U.S. parents worried their young driver could cause a car crash
Many U.S. parents are worried that their teen or young adult is going to cause a wreck through their unsafe driving, a new survey says. About one in three parents worry that their young driver could cause a motor vehicle ...
Phys.org / Failed experiment leads to surprise drug development breakthrough
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a new way to alter complex drug molecules using light rather than toxic chemicals—a discovery that could accelerate and improve how medicines are designed and made. ...
Phys.org / Fantastic fungi found with ability to freeze water
Can fungi influence the weather? Turns out, they just might. An international group of researchers that includes Virginia Tech's Xiaofeng Wang and Boris A. Vinatzer discovered the identity of fungal proteins that can catalyze ...
Phys.org / Tiny tools, sharp aim: Nanobodies target tumors with precision
Nanobodies—miniature proteins—derived from camel antibodies demonstrated powerful potential to accurately and safely deliver radioisotopes as specialized cancer treatments in a project at ORNL.
