Phys.org / From atoms to reactors, new modeling approach could sharpen catalyst design
In a recent article, researchers from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, emphasize the importance of multiscale modeling of catalysis in understanding and developing (electro)chemical processes. Modern computational tools ...
Phys.org / A study on intergenerational coexistence at a university helps dismantle stereotypes associated with ageism
Two researchers from the Department of Humanities at Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) have analyzed the experiences of older students in an intergenerational lifelong learning program at UPF. The study helps dismantle stereotypes ...
Medical Xpress / New research could reshape how future NHS treatments are evaluated
Researchers from the University of Sheffield are leading work that will significantly influence how health care treatments are assessed and approved across the UK. The researchers, based at the Sheffield Center for Health ...
Medical Xpress / Specialist inpatient neurorehabilitation has a positive impact on patients with functional neurological disorders
A first-of-its-kind study by the National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) has demonstrated how specialist inpatient rehabilitation can result in significant and lasting improvements ...
Phys.org / DESI-HVS1 is an old hypervelocity star ejected from the galactic center, observations suggest
Chinese astronomers report the discovery of DESI-HVS1, which may be an old metal-poor hypervelocity star of galactic center origin. The finding, based on the data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and ESA's ...
Phys.org / Gold digging is not exclusive to women: New study uncovers common attributes
Gold digging is often seen as a female behavior focused on exploiting wealthier partners for material gain, but science suggests this stereotype may be too narrow. Past studies have shown both men and women value resources ...
Phys.org / 'Much‑needed fresh air': 5 outcomes from the world's first summit on ending fossil fuels
Almost 60 countries, representing about a third of the global economy, met in the Colombian port city of Santa Marta for the first international summit on the transition away from fossil fuels.
Phys.org / How trees in urban areas are key to cooling down a warmer world
Planting new forests may be a low-cost way to combat warming temperatures in urban areas, suggests a new study. In a large-scale field experiment, researchers planted 640 tree saplings across 20 parks in Dayton, Ohio, and ...
Phys.org / Decades of deep sea mining research show threat to seafloor creatures
There's increasing interest in deep-sea mining, but the impacts that this will have on the animals that live in the depths isn't fully understood. A new review led by our scientists is giving us our first insight into how ...
Phys.org / Why we need to treat Earth like a spaceship
Four humans recently looped around the moon. Their vessel, an Artemis capsule, was a thin metal shell whose life-support system kept them alive: it provided a carefully balanced atmosphere, a closed water loop, a finite supply ...
Phys.org / Elastic rules may explain why nematic crystals look ordered and disordered at once
Electronic nematicity is a phase of some crystalline solids in which electrons' collective properties, such as charge or spin densities, organize themselves into ordered patterns, lowering the crystal's rotational symmetry. ...
Phys.org / Casimir forces in twisted anisotropic gratings: A path to self-tuning nanophotonic systems
A team of scientists from Skoltech and MIPT has investigated how the Casimir effect can be used to precisely control the angular orientation of nanostructures. The results of the study have been published in the journal Physical ...
