Tech Xplore / Discoveries in testing solid-fuel ramjets advance research
Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory are developing the next generation of solid-fuel ramjet (SFRJ) propulsion, addressing one of the field's most persistent challenges: understanding and predicting what happens ...
Phys.org / Residents from strongly blue or red counties favor like-minded destinations for everyday travel, analysis finds
A new analysis of 471 U.S. counties has found that, for everyday travel, people from counties with particularly strong political leanings—whether liberal or conservative—are more likely to visit like-minded destinations. ...
Medical Xpress / Tiny peptide shows promise in slowing epilepsy progression
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders in the world. According to the World Health Organization, around 50 million people live with epilepsy, a condition marked by recurring seizures that can also affect ...
Medical Xpress / Freshly brewed tea may support long-term health, research shows
If green tea is already part of your daily routine, you may be giving your health a boost without even realizing it.
Phys.org / Direct imaging captures the crystalline vibrations of a supersolid made of atoms and light
The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without friction at extremely low temperatures, a phase now known as superfluid. Soon after, it was also discovered ...
Phys.org / Unprecedented 3D views of sensory cells accelerate hearing research
The cochlea is the spiral-shaped structure within the inner ear responsible for our sense of hearing. To fully understand hearing functions and open the door to new hearing loss treatments, scientists require intricately ...
Phys.org / Capturing the moment of organelle handoff inside living cells
For the first time, researchers have directly visualized how newly formed cellular organelles leave the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and transition onto microtubule tracks inside living cells. This new finding reveals that ...
Phys.org / Proton-trapping MNene transforms ammonia production for food security and economic growth
With a new electrochemical synthesis via an electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), achieving carbon-free ammonia production is closer to reality through work from Drs. Abdoulaye Djire and Perla Balbuena, chemical ...
Phys.org / Ultrathin kagome metal hosts robust 3D flat electronic band state
A team of researchers at Monash University has uncovered a powerful new way to engineer exotic quantum states, revealing a robust and tunable three-dimensional flat electronic band in an ultrathin kagome metal, an achievement ...
Medical Xpress / Continued exposure to certain heavy metals linked to ADHD in childhood
Impulsivity, hyperactivity, and difficulty concentrating are some of the symptoms associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It is estimated that 6% of schoolchildren in Catalonia suffer to a greater or lesser ...
Phys.org / Exceptionally well-preserved ant in Goethe's amber examined
Even some 200 years after his death, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's scientific curiosity continues to yield new insights. This has now been demonstrated by biologists at Friedrich Schiller University Jena while closely examining ...
Medical Xpress / Climate change could cause more than 500,000 malaria deaths in Africa by 2050
New research published today in Nature warns climate change could substantially increase malaria burden in Africa over the coming decades. The study projects that a middle-of-the-road climate scenario could trigger more than ...
