Phys.org / Mercury's BepiColombo Mio and Earth's GEOTAIL show shared wave frequency properties across planetary magnetospheres
An international team from Kanazawa University (Japan), Tohoku University (Japan), LPP (France), and partners has demonstrated that chorus emissions, natural electromagnetic waves long studied in Earth's magnetosphere, also ...
Phys.org / Artificial intelligence in manufacturing rocket parts
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, promises many benefits in all domains, and rocketry is no different. The European Space Agency's Future Launchers Preparatory Program (FLPP) is investigating the use of AI to develop better ...
Phys.org / Japan Trench geology confirmed as key driver of 2011 megaquake
Geologists from Heriot-Watt are part of an international research team that has confirmed why the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake off northeast Japan behaved in such an extreme and destructive way.
Medical Xpress / Low vitamin D levels linked to 33% higher risk of hospitalization for severe respiratory infections
Severe vitamin D deficiency is associated with a higher rate of hospitalization for respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia, according to a new study led by the University of Surrey. Scientists found ...
Phys.org / To fight cancer, scientists customize cellular protein
Precise methods for shredding or repairing and replacing specific cancer-causing proteins in a malignant cell, developed at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, could have applications beyond cancer to a wide range of ...
Medical Xpress / An oral cancer drug shows promise against aggressive brain tumors
A national clinical trial led by the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology has found that abemaciclib, an oral cancer drug, may slow tumor growth in patients with aggressive meningiomas that have specific genetic mutations. ...
Phys.org / Seychelles leads the way in the protection of sharks and rays, finds study
A new study published in Ecology and Evolution has evaluated the extent to which recently identified Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) in the Western Indian Ocean overlap with existing marine protected areas.
Tech Xplore / Lightweight sensor tech could eliminate need for toxic aircraft de-icing fluid
Ice detection technology developed by researchers at the University of Toronto could speed up the de-icing process for aircraft and other aerospace vehicles, helping to prevent costly flight delays.
Phys.org / Hot spring bathing doesn't just keep snow monkeys warm—it can disrupt lice distribution and reshape gut bacteria
Japanese macaques, colloquially referred to as snow monkeys, famously soak in steaming hot springs during winter. It's easy to see that this helps them stay warm in cold temperatures, but a team of researchers at Kyoto University ...
Tech Xplore / MorphoChrome pairs software with handheld device to make everyday objects iridescent
Gemstones like precious opal are beautiful to look at and deceivingly complex. As you look at such gems from different angles, you'll see a variety of tints glisten, causing you to question what color the rock actually is. ...
Phys.org / Pine bark removes pharmaceutical residues from wastewater—an affordable way to keep antibiotics out of nature
Researchers at the University of Oulu, Finland, have developed a pine-bark–based water-treatment medium that efficiently removes antibiotics as well as residues of blood-pressure and antidepressant medicines from wastewater ...
Phys.org / Tracer reveals how environmental DNA moves through lakes and rivers
Forensics experts gather DNA to understand who was present at a crime scene. But what if the crime occurred in the middle of a lake, where DNA could be carried far and wide by wind and waves? That's the challenge faced by ...
