Tech Xplore / Solvent-free battery electrodes reach high density, opening path to cheaper manufacturing
A research team led by Professor Young-Jun Kim at the Sungkyunkwan Advanced Institute of Nano Technology (SAINT) of SKKU has announced a breakthrough in "dry electrode" technology—a next-generation manufacturing process for ...
Phys.org / How the Ampelomeryx grew: Discovering the life history of a giraffe relative that lived in Catalonia
A research team from the Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont (ICP-CERCA) has led the paleohistological study of Ampelomeryx ginsburgi, a giraffomorph ruminant from the Middle Miocene recovered at the Els Casots ...
Phys.org / Frozen in dry ice, hydrogen reveals a surprisingly simple way to control quantum behavior
A new study by University of Maryland chemical physicists demonstrates how to control the nuclear spin of molecular hydrogen (H2) by simply freezing it in dry ice. This new technique, published in the journal Physical Review ...
Tech Xplore / Stacked intelligent surfaces could boost wireless reliability and security for 6G
Wireless communication is about to get stronger, clearer, and more secure, thanks to a new idea from UBC Okanagan researchers. Dr. Anas Chaaban and his team in the School of Engineering are exploring a method to improve the ...
Tech Xplore / Solar photoreforming turns plastic waste into clean fuel at low temperatures
Scientists are advancing a promising solution to two of the world's biggest challenges—plastic pollution and clean energy—by transforming waste plastics into valuable fuels using sunlight.
Phys.org / Room-temperature vibrations could transform how industry makes graphene
Researchers have demonstrated a new technique for creating 2D materials that runs at room temperature and increases production rates tenfold over current methods, without using toxic solvents. Scientists led by Dr. Jason ...
Medical Xpress / Physicians benefit from AI when making nuanced clinical decisions, study shows
Artificial intelligence-powered chatbots are getting pretty good at diagnosing some diseases, even when they are complex. But how do chatbots do when guiding treatment and care after the diagnosis? For example, how long before ...
Phys.org / Light can now be shaped in empty space, and it could simplify sensing and boost data links
Scientists at the University of East Anglia have uncovered a hidden property of light that allows it to twist, spin and behave differently—without mirrors, materials or special lenses. In a breakthrough that could transform ...
Medical Xpress / AI surpasses physicians on clinical reasoning tasks, raising the bar for more serious testing
In one of the largest studies to compare artificial intelligence and physicians on a wide array of clinical reasoning tasks including real emergency department data, a team of physicians and computer scientists at Harvard ...
Medical Xpress / One pint, one bold promise: What this beer health claim hides about alcohol's real trade-offs
Beer could come with a "surprising health benefit," according to a new report from the BBC. This must be pleasing news for beer drinkers everywhere. But what did the new study the BBC report was based on actually say? And ...
Phys.org / Two whale groups separated by seas—but not by genes, study finds
A paper in Genome Biology and Evolution discovers that the endangered Mediterranean fin whale is not completely isolated from Atlantic groups. Both Atlantic and Mediterranean populations have declined for the past 200,000 ...
Phys.org / Snow cover on Greek mountains has more than halved in four decades, study finds
Snow cover in the mountains of Greece—an important water source for communities, agriculture and natural ecosystems during the dry summer months—has more than halved over the past four decades, a study has found.
