Phys.org / Time crystals could become accurate and efficient timekeepers
Time crystals could one day provide a reliable foundation for ultra-precise quantum clocks, new mathematical analysis has revealed. Published in Physical Review Letters, the research was led by Ludmila Viotti at the Abdus ...
Medical Xpress / Study shows screening increases survival rate for stage IV breast cancer by 60%
Women with stage IV breast cancer detected through screening have a 60% chance of survival 10 years after diagnosis. This is in comparison to a survival rate of under 20% of those with stage IV breast cancer which was not ...
Phys.org / From life events to travel trends, DEMOS tool brings demographic realism to transportation modeling
Many personal transportation-related decisions—such as vehicle purchases—are influenced by life events, like the birth of a child or a change in employment. Modeling tools that reflect how life trajectories evolve over ...
Tech Xplore / Can AI build a machine that draws a heart? What automated mechanism design could mean for mechanical engineering
Can you design a mechanism that will trace out the shape of a heart? How about the shape of a moon, or a star? Mechanism design—the art of assembling linkages and joints to create machines with prescribed motion—is one ...
Medical Xpress / HIV entry blocker pairs CD4 mimic and antibody, showing sevenfold higher efficacy
Drug conjugates (ADCs) developed at Institute of Science Tokyo combine a CD4 mimic with neutralizing antibodies for enhanced suppression of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. By targeting the gp120 on the viral ...
Phys.org / A smart fluid that can be reconfigured with temperature
Imagine a "smart fluid" whose internal structure can be rearranged just by changing temperature. In a new study published in Matter, researchers report a way to overcome a long-standing limitation in a class of "smart fluids" ...
Phys.org / Researchers warn ESA loopholes may speed coral loss around Guam
The United States government is rolling back conservation policies in a way that demonstrably risks accelerating already at-risk coral reefs around its island territory, Guam, in the Pacific Ocean. Part of the issue is the ...
Medical Xpress / Can personality change after 60? An eight-week program suggests it can
Younger and older adults alike are able to adopt new socio-emotional behaviors. Even older adults benefit from a personality intervention aimed at handling stress and challenging social situations better. This is the conclusion ...
Phys.org / Mass production technology developed for ultra-high color purity perovskite emitters
A research team led by Professor Tae-Woo Lee has developed a technology to mass produce ultra-high color purity perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs), the core material for next-generation displays, without the need for high temperature, ...
Medical Xpress / Booster shots reduce the risks of COVID-19 deaths, study finds
Booster vaccines reduced the risk of COVID‑19-related hospitalization and death, according to a new study of over 3 million adults who had the autumn 2022 vaccine in England. The research, led by the universities of Bristol ...
Phys.org / Amazon rainforest flipped to carbon source during 2023 extreme drought, study shows
The Amazon rainforest is of crucial importance to the Earth's ecosystem, given its capacity to store substantial amounts of carbon in its vegetation. In 2023, the region experienced unusually high temperatures, reaching 1.5°C ...
Tech Xplore / Converting human urine into clean energy: Researchers optimize the process
Researchers at McGill University have improved the efficiency of a method for converting human urine into clean energy. The method employs microbial fuel cells (MFCs), which use bacteria to turn organic waste into electricity, ...
