Tech Xplore / Harnessing long-wavelength light for sustainable hydrogen production
A novel dye-sensitized photocatalyst developed at Science Tokyo enables the capture of long-wavelength visible light for efficient hydrogen conversion, surpassing conventional photocatalysts.
Medical Xpress / Small RNA molecule found to control cholesterol and heart disease risk
A team of researchers led by University of California, Riverside biomedical scientists has identified a small, previously overlooked small RNA molecule that plays a major role in controlling the body's cholesterol production ...
Phys.org / Scalable method enables ultrahigh-resolution quantum dot displays without damaging performance
Over the past decade, colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as promising materials for next-generation displays due to their tunable emission, high brightness, and compatibility with low-cost solution processing. However, ...
Phys.org / Deep-sea squid caught masquerading as sponge stalks in Pacific abyss
Cephalopods—the class of animals that comprises octopuses and squids—are ubiquitous throughout the ocean, including in the deep sea. However, researchers still don't know very much about the distribution, diversity and ...
Medical Xpress / New study suggests best way to stop taking antidepressants
The best way for people with depression to stop taking antidepressants once their condition improves is to slowly taper off the medication while also receiving psychological support, new research suggested Thursday.
Phys.org / Subtle twist in materials prompts surprising electromagnetic behavior
Materials react differently to electric and magnetic fields, and these reactions are known as electromagnetic responses. In many solid materials, unusual electromagnetic responses have been known to only emerge when specific ...
Phys.org / Scientists experimentally demonstrate 140-year-old prediction: A gas in perpetual non-equilibrium
(Phys.org)—In 1876, the Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann noticed something surprising about his equations that describe the flow of heat in a gas. Usually, the colliding gas particles eventually reach a state of thermal ...
Phys.org / Massive rock layer beneath Bermuda may explain island's unusual elevation
Bermuda may well be associated with exaggerated stories of missing ships and planes, but there is another mystery about this part of the Atlantic that has been puzzling scientists for decades: Why does the island appear to ...
Phys.org / International report reveals atmospheric impact of Hunga eruption
An international assessment report has been released to provide definitive statements on the atmospheric impacts from a huge volcanic eruption in 2022.
Medical Xpress / 'Listening in' on the brain's hidden language: Engineered protein detects the faintest incoming signals
Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals). These whisper-quiet incoming messages are the release of the neurotransmitter glutamate, ...
Phys.org / How a new diet of penguins is changing puma behavior and social lives in Patagonia
Penguins in the coastal steppes of Argentina have a new enemy to worry about: the increasing numbers of pumas in Monte León National Park (MLNP). These powerful mountain cats were once on the brink of disappearing from this ...
Phys.org / Simulations explore Neanderthal and modern human encounters in ancient Europe
Using a specially developed simulation model, researchers at the University of Cologne have traced and analyzed the dynamics of possible encounters between Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans on the Iberian Peninsula ...
