Tech Xplore / High-entropy design achieves 3-fold increase in hydrogen production
While mixing materials typically leads to instability, there exists a phenomenon known as high entropy, where increasing compositional complexity can actually enhance stability. KAIST researchers have leveraged this principle ...
Tech Xplore / A new way to deliver faster, greener wireless connections indoors
Modern life depends on fast and reliable wireless connections. Video calls, streaming services, virtual reality, and smart devices all place growing demands on networks that already serve billions of users. Most wireless ...
Medical Xpress / Fixating on a 'magic number' of childcare hours misses what's most important for kids' development
Families with kids juggling full-time work may have been alarmed by media reporting this week, suggesting "too much" time in early childhood education and care could harm their child's development.
Phys.org / Body size, lifespan and mobility can help predict which species are most threatened as planet changes
How can we predict species' responses to always-arising changes in our world? A long-term ecological study from Yokohama National University researchers suggests the answer may lie in a few small simple biological traits. ...
Phys.org / Microscopic mechanism of 'quantum collapse' in real-world environments uncovered for the first time
A research team has, for the first time in the world, elucidated the microscopic mechanism by which quantum order is lost and collapses in "open quantum environments" existing in nature. Since perfectly isolated quantum systems ...
Phys.org / Quantum computing without interruptions
Mid-circuit measurements are one of the biggest practical hurdles in quantum error correction on encoded qubits. Researchers in Innsbruck and Aachen have now proposed and experimentally demonstrated that a universal fault-tolerant ...
Phys.org / Robotic floats uncover hidden ocean chemistry in low-oxygen zones
Scientists have found a new way to detect subtle chemical signatures in seawater, revealing previously invisible details about the ocean's chemistry from data continuously collected by thousands of autonomous robotic floats ...
Medical Xpress / How your neighborhood could be aging you
There's a growing consensus that your ZIP code is a strong predictor of your health and lifespan. Now, researchers at NYU School of Global Public Health have determined that neighborhood conditions may be driving aging at ...
Medical Xpress / Long-term excess weight, not one-time BMI, can better predict cardiovascular risk
Obesity is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but people's weights can shift over time, and little is known about the cumulative impact of excess weight. New research from investigators at Mass General Brigham ...
Medical Xpress / A 'wake-up call' from leading sleep scientists: Nighttime warming threatens the sleep of billions
As the world heats up, nights are warming faster than days where most people live—and this ambient heat affects how well and how long people sleep. A new article by eminent sleep scientists, including the presidents of the ...
Medical Xpress / Study of 633,000 people links loneliness to suicidal thoughts
Loneliness plays an important role in the development of suicidal ideation, thoughts of ending one's life, which precedes nearly every suicidal death, according to a study by researchers at Vanderbilt Health. Their findings, ...
Medical Xpress / Lab-grown pineal gland organoids produce melatonin, offering a new sleep model
Organoids are miniature, simplified versions of an organ. Over the past two decades, scientists have developed them for the gut, lung, liver, mammary gland, brain, and more. Now, researchers at Yale School of Medicine (YSM) ...
