Phys.org / New discoveries reveal Tell Abraq's role in ancient Persian Gulf trade
If there were a place that could be called the archaeological almanac of Saudi Arabian culture, it would be Tell Abraq, located on the west coast of the United Arab Emirates. This area contains traces of every cultural phase ...
Phys.org / New levitating sensors could pave way to dark matter detection and quantum sensing
A new type of sensor that levitates dozens of glass microparticles could revolutionize the accuracy and efficiency of sensing, laying the foundation for better autonomous vehicles, navigation and even the detection of dark ...
Medical Xpress / Single dose RSV vaccine protection found to wane over 18 months
Research led by the Veterans Affairs Portland Health Care System in Portland, Oregon, found that a single dose of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine reduced RSV infections and RSV-related emergency visits, hospitalizations, ...
Phys.org / Sunlight, water and air power a cleaner method for making hydrogen peroxide
Cornell scientists have discovered a potentially transformative approach to manufacturing one of the world's most widely used chemicals—hydrogen peroxide—using nothing more than sunlight, water and air. The research is ...
Phys.org / Bipolar planetary nebula reveals rare open cluster association
By analyzing the data from the SuperCOSMOS Hα Survey (SHS) and from the Gaia satellite, astronomers have inspected a bipolar planetary nebula designated PHR J1724-3859. Results of the study, published Nov. 19 on the arXiv ...
Phys.org / CRISPR-based platform shines a brighter light on the link between cells and disease
For years, Yale researchers David Breslow and Mustafa Khokha have worked together with a similar challenge in their sights—trying to capture the interplay between certain genes and the pediatric developmental disorders ...
Phys.org / Flood risks in delta cities are increasing, Shanghai study finds
New research shows how the combination of extreme climate events, sea-level rise and land subsidence could create larger and deeper floods in coastal cities in future.
Phys.org / Researchers confirm new Rickettsia species found in dogs
Researchers from North Carolina State University have confirmed that a species of Rickettsia first seen in dogs in 2018 is a new species of bacteria. The new species, dubbed Rickettsia finnyi, is associated with symptoms ...
Phys.org / Death may suggest we belong to a broader whole
Shisei Tei claims he is clumsy with technology and doesn't even own a smartphone, yet he has found himself thinking a lot about what we call generative AI.
Phys.org / Chance discovery converts toxic nitric oxide into nitrogen gas at room temperature
Nitrogen is a crucial component of proteins and nucleic acids, the fundamental building blocks of all living things, and thus is essential to life on Earth. Gaseous N2 from the atmosphere can be fixed by soil bacteria capable ...
Phys.org / Shapeshifting gates guard the cell nucleus, challenging old ideas
An international study led by the University of Basel has discovered that nuclear pore complexes—tiny gateways in the nuclear membrane—are not rigid or gel-like as once thought. Their interiors are dynamically organized, ...
Tech Xplore / Engineers develop thin film to make AI chips faster and more energy efficient
Addressing the staggering power and energy demands of artificial intelligence, engineers at the University of Houston have developed a revolutionary new thin-film material that promises to make AI devices significantly faster ...
