Phys.org / How supermassive black holes feed themselves
Astronomers are closer to solving the mystery of how supermassive black holes feed themselves thanks to new images from the James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST. The images provide the clearest view ever seen of gaseous filaments ...
Phys.org / Can bacteria reveal hidden pollution? New river study says yes
The Guadalquivir is the most important river in Andalusia. Stretching 657 kilometers (408 miles), it forms the backbone of Andalusia, from its source in the Sierra de Cazorla mountains to its mouth in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. ...
Phys.org / Political representatives found more polarized on climate change than their constituents
It is no surprise that there are political disagreements over climate protection measures. Parties differ in their assessments of which measures they consider effective, fair or economically acceptable. However, the question ...
Phys.org / Researchers define new frontier in quantum materials
Researchers at City College of New York physicist Vinod M. Menon's Laboratory for Nano and Micro Photonics (LaNMP) have outlined an emerging frontier in quantum materials: atomically thin systems in which light, magnetism ...
Medical Xpress / Brain-computer training sharpens detection of tiny movement errors in five days
The brain uses visual cues to coordinate muscle movement. When motor commands and sensory feedback are out of alignment, visuo-motor errors occur. Rapid perception of these errors allows for correction, which is important ...
Medical Xpress / Shape-shifting drug hits tumors in multiple ways, improves outcomes in mice
Modern anticancer medications that combine tumor-fighting drugs with proteins that specifically target cancer cells are a relatively new class of drugs, often given to patients for whom standard chemotherapy has not worked. ...
Phys.org / Devastating Asian beetle detected in EU for first time
A tiny Asian-origin beetle that has devastated ash forests in North America has been detected in the European Union for the first time, in Hungary and Slovakia, authorities said.
Phys.org / World's first superconducting quantum heat engine offers path to larger quantum computers
Recent improvements in our understanding of how the principles of thermodynamics apply in the quantum realm could give a boost to quantum technology, and a clearer picture of quantum thermodynamics could in turn enhance our ...
Phys.org / 'Uncanny valley' effect observed in macaques through 3D animated monkey avatars
A new tool that allows researchers to create realistic full-body animations of monkeys has provided the first evidence that nonhuman primates experience the "uncanny valley" phenomenon for body avatars, according to a study ...
Medical Xpress / Melatonin may help ease chronic muscle and joint pain, new study suggests
Melatonin is best known for helping us sleep. But a new study suggests it might have another surprising use: easing muscle and joint pain.
Phys.org / Europe's last pagan state was already diverse: Medieval Vilnius drew migrants from Christian lands
Lithuania was famously the final pagan state in Europe. While the rest of the continent converted to Christianity, Lithuania remained officially pagan until Catholicism was adopted in AD 1387. Despite this, the extent to ...
Phys.org / Study links sea level to Earth's carbon thermostat
Earth has a natural thermostat that has kept the planet habitable for more than 100 million years. Scientists have struggled to fully explain how it works, but new research identifies a missing link between phosphate availability ...
