Phys.org / Toxic algal blooms linked to deaths of recently stranded humpback whales
Marine mammal stranding teams have completed major response activities for two deceased juvenile humpback whales discovered less than 10 miles (16 kilometers) apart in Monterey Bay earlier this month and issued preliminary ...
Tech Xplore / Simple coating could make next-generation chip transistors easier to manufacture without damaging ultrathin layers
Inside computer chips are billions of tiny transistors made from silicon. But the material is approaching its limits. In an effort to build smaller, more capable devices, researchers are exploring how they might build transistors ...
Phys.org / Floating litter extends over Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the US
A study led by researchers from the Smithsonian Institution and the UB reveals that reducing single-use plastic is essential for protecting coastal ecosystems. Floating litter has also invaded Chesapeake Bay, the largest ...
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 / Dark matter cannot be ruled out as cause of gamma ray glow at the Milky Way's center, machine learning shows
An international research collaboration between the University of Vienna and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the United States has used machine learning to re-examine one of the most debated signals in astrophysics. ...
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 ...
Phys.org / Molecular fossils reveal secrets of Earth's recovery from ancient global warming event
Scientists have uncovered new evidence from one of Earth's most extreme ancient warming events, revealing how the climate may recover long after human-driven CO2 emissions cease.
Phys.org / Training class increases time fathers spend with children and on housework, improving mothers' access to work
A one-off training session increased how much time fathers spent with their children and on chores by about two hours a week, reports a new study from the University of Tokyo. A team in Japan provided male employees and their ...
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 / Atomic-level simulations predict transistor scaling limits
As the global semiconductor industry enters the so-called 2-nanometer process era, the actual size of transistors—the core components of semiconductor chips—still remains above 10 nm. How much smaller, then, can transistors ...
Phys.org / Flipped quantum interference unlocks clearer gluon maps from near-miss nuclear encounters
Scientists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) usually capture what happens when atomic nuclei smash into one another at nearly the speed of light. But even when the nuclei don't collide, ...
Phys.org / Helios quantum computer tops 99.9% fidelity rates for one- and two-qubit operations
A public-private partnership in the Mountain West announced new results today that mark steady progress toward the Department of Energy's goal of fault-tolerant quantum computing, systems large and reliable enough to solve ...
