Tech Xplore / NASA tests advanced capabilities for moon and Mars rovers
A prototype rover built with a new design for tackling rugged terrain is helping teams refine capabilities that could one day be used on future lunar and Red Planet missions.
Phys.org / Most precise measurement of the force that binds nuclear matter achieved
Trinity's Prof. Stefan Sint, along with collaborators from Germany, Spain and Italy, has published the most precise determination to date of the strong coupling constant. This parameter governs the interactions between quarks ...
Medical Xpress / How people use music shapes their emotional experiences, new study finds
A new study from the University of Jyväskylä shows who is more likely to experience mixed emotions while listening to music—and that our relationship with music is more complex and nuanced than we might assume. The study ...
Phys.org / Radar echoes from Europa reveal secrets beneath the ice
A team of scientists has used NASA's Goldstone Solar System Radar and the U.S. National Science Foundation Green Bank Telescope (NSF GBT) to carry out the most extensive radar study to date of Europa, the ocean world orbiting ...
Tech Xplore / Stretchable self-powered sensor delivers stable signals even at 668% elongation
Wearable medical devices that monitor heart rate, respiration and joint movements for long periods without battery concerns, electronic skins that sense external stimuli like human skin, and soft robots made of flexible materials ...
Medical Xpress / Lab-on-a-chip platform shows how immune cells attack cancer cells
Immunotherapies are a promising approach in the fight against cancer. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a lab-on-a-chip system called CellTrap. It makes it possible to observe the interactions ...
Phys.org / Ancient curse tablet bears rare Greek inscription with binding spell intended to harm enemies
Heidelberg University researchers have deciphered the inscription on an ancient curse tablet, which was once used to invoke deities and demons in order to harm an enemy. The "magical" artifact from the Roman province of Lower ...
Phys.org / One of the world's most important plate boundaries is older than previously thought
A chain of remote islands and underwater volcanoes between Alaska and Kamchatka has revealed a much older chapter in Earth's tectonic history than previously known. Along the Aleutian Arc, the Pacific Plate dives beneath ...
Medical Xpress / The over‑50s are most likely to overdose. Here's how older people use drugs
When many of us think about drug overdose, we picture young people at a music festival or people dependent on street heroin. But the latest figures from the Penington Institute show older Australians are increasingly dying ...
Phys.org / Frozen Greenland middens preserve 4,500 years of farms, seal hunts and toilets
Greenland has a long and checkered history of human settlement: several Paleo-Inuit cultures since approximately 2,500 BCE, descendants of Vikings between the 10th and 15th centuries, and early modern Danes since 1721. All ...
Tech Xplore / Ultrathin membranes could transform hydrocarbon processing by slashing energy use
A team of international researchers has developed a new class of ultrathin polymer membranes that can rapidly and selectively separate complex hydrocarbon mixtures, potentially transforming how crude oil is refined and refinery ...
Phys.org / Thermochemical mantle plume identified as the likely origin of Earth's largest oceanic plateau
The Ontong Java Plateau in the western Pacific Ocean is the largest oceanic plateau on Earth, and its formation mechanism has not been well understood.
