Phys.org / Structural color can now be printed with an inkjet printer
While traditional printer pigments fade and most structural color can't be printed, Kobe University material engineer Sugimoto Hiroshi has been working on nothing short of a revolution in the way color is produced.
Phys.org / When trees get 'sunburn': Study shows how young trees can handle the heat
Can our forests adapt to a hotter and drier future climate? Temperatures are predicted to rise up to 5°C compared to pre-industrial times. Forest management needs to adapt to these conditions, which requires a better understanding ...
Medical Xpress / Advanced CT scan analysis may help identify different forms of sarcoidosis
Researchers have identified a new method for analyzing chest CT scans that may help physicians better understand the different forms of sarcoidosis, a complex inflammatory lung disease that affects more than 150,000 people ...
Medical Xpress / Extra chromosomes may seed childhood leukemia years before disease, study suggests
B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common form of childhood cancer. In this type of cancer, which affects blood cells, one of the most common abnormalities is the presence of cells with an excess of chromosomes ...
Phys.org / Mechanical inputs boost diamond quantum sensor states as Q factor tops one million
Most people think of diamonds as high-end adornments. Not Ania Bleszynski Jayich. The UC Santa Barbara physicist sees diamonds, which she grows in the UC Quantum Foundry, as a potentially powerful foundation for quantum sensors. ...
Phys.org / Sinking land drives coastal flood risk on densely populated Java Island
A new study published in Science Advances reveals that sinking land—not just rising oceans alone—will be the main cause of future coastal flooding along Indonesia's densely populated Java Island, putting millions at risk ...
Phys.org / Born to roam, built for home: New genomic insights for snapper fisheries
Snapper are central to coastal life across southern Australia, supporting fisheries, local businesses, and regional tourism. New Flinders University research has found that although snapper populations across southern Australia ...
Phys.org / Study finds 70% of remediated Los Angeles yards still exceed lead limit
Even after one of the largest environmental remediation efforts in California history, dangerous levels of lead persist in residential neighborhoods surrounding a former battery smelter in Southeast Los Angeles, according ...
Phys.org / Four sperm whale strandings point to potential human causes
Four sperm whales that stranded separately on southeastern U.S. coastlines between 2020–22 were emaciated and malnourished, with ingested fishing gear and marine debris found in two of them, according to a new study that ...
Phys.org / Stopping algae blooms with bacteria-busting buoys
Algae blooms make a pond's surface shine in mesmerizing green hues. But if the microorganisms responsible are cyanobacteria, they can also release toxins that harm humans and wildlife alike. A team reporting in ACS ES&T Water ...
Phys.org / Metamaterial chains learn new shapes by sharing data hinge to hinge
In a new Nature Physics publication, University of Amsterdam researchers introduce human-made materials that spring to life. These 'metamaterials' don't just learn to change shape, but can autonomously adapt their shape-changing ...
Phys.org / Tracking reef winners and losers after a Category 4 storm
Research led by James Cook University has shown the devastating impacts of severe cyclones on corals and coral reef fishes, highlighting changes in coral reef structure that influence long-term recovery and resilience. The ...
