Medical Xpress / Mobile clinics offer a practical way to improve health care access in maternity care deserts
Only three of the 14 counties in north-central Florida provide full access to obstetric care. Six have low access to care—meaning there are fewer than two hospitals offering obstetric care or birth centers per 10,000 births ...
Phys.org / An interstellar comet packed with alcohol? What ALMA found in 3I/ATLAS
Comet 3I/ATLAS continues to make astonishing headlines, thanks to new findings from astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). This new research reveals that 3I/ATLAS is packed with an unusually ...
Tech Xplore / Microscopic metal 'thorns' shed light on how lithium-ion batteries short-circuit
For the first time, scientists have observed how tiny metal "thorns" called dendrites sprout inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause the batteries to short-circuit. Their findings, published in the journal Science, ...
Phys.org / Simulations suggest a breakthrough in understanding how turbulence develops
A new study revisits a century-old question about how turbulence starts. The findings could potentially influence not only aircraft engineering but even the design of mechanical heart valves, and treatment of heart disease. ...
Medical Xpress / Vaping: Emerging harms health systems can't ignore
When e-cigarettes first appeared around 2010, they were hailed as a breakthrough: nicotine delivery without the toxic tar and combustion byproducts of traditional cigarettes. Public health bodies cautiously endorsed them ...
Tech Xplore / Atom-thin material could help solve chip manufacturing problem
Making computer chips smaller is not just about better design. It also depends on a critical step in manufacturing called patterning, where nanoscale structures are carved into materials to form the circuits inside everything ...
Phys.org / Local droplet etching yields more symmetric quantum dots for integrated photonics
Light-based quantum technologies, such as quantum communication and photonic quantum computing, require reliable sources of individual photons and, ideally, pairs of entangled photons. Semiconductor quantum dots are promising ...
Phys.org / Bioinspired event camera tracks full vibration trajectory using geometry
Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a noncontact vibration measurement method using an event camera, a sensing technology inspired by biological vision. By applying geometric analysis to event-stream data, ...
Phys.org / Photonic 'ski jumps' efficiently beam light into free space
Photonic chips use light to process data instead of electricity, enabling faster communication speeds and greater bandwidth. Most of that light typically stays on the chip, trapped in optical wires, and is difficult to transmit ...
Phys.org / Deep ocean microbes may already be prepared to tackle climate change
Deep-sea waters are warming due to heat waves and climate change, and it could spell trouble for the oceans' delicate chemical and biological balance. However, a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ...
Phys.org / Self-regenerating catalyst restores its own performance, advancing CO₂ conversion technology
Technologies that convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) emitted from factories and power plants into useful chemical feedstocks are considered key to achieving carbon neutrality. However, rapid degradation of catalyst performance ...
Phys.org / Twisted bilayer photonic crystals dynamically tune light's handedness
Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a chip-scale device that can dynamically control the "handedness" of light as it passes through—also known as its ...
