Tech Xplore / Hybrid-electric aircraft clears 30,000 feet for first time in test flights
An aircraft powered by a megawatt-class hybrid-electric engine developed in collaboration with NASA and built by GE Aerospace, demonstrated flight of an innovation that can inform new generations of fuel-saving aircraft power ...
Phys.org / Community context shapes corporate response to violence in street protests
When violence takes place during street protests, how do corporate leaders respond? According to new research by Forrest Briscoe, professor of organizational behavior at the ILR School, the answer depends on other community ...
Phys.org / Ruthenium nanoparticles convert captured perchlorate into harmless chloride in water treatment waste
For decades, water utilities have relied on giant tanks filled with ion-exchange resin beads to remove perchlorate, a harmful industrial pollutant, from drinking water. The system works by attracting negatively charged perchlorate ...
Phys.org / National study finds reports of past-year sexual harassment more than doubled since 2018
Nearly a decade after the #MeToo movement reshaped public conversations about sexual harassment, a new study from the Newcomb Institute at Tulane University finds that Americans are reporting experiences of sexual harassment ...
Phys.org / More connections can deepen polarization when social ties remain weak
Social networks, intended to bring people together, can actually increase polarization, new research finds, because while the links in the network may be plentiful, they're probably weak. A research team including Cornell ...
Medical Xpress / Dendrites and gatekeeper cells unlock flexible learning in mice, study finds
The ability to adapt behavior flexibly to changing environments is a hallmark of intelligence. However, the biological mechanisms in the brain that are responsible for this cognitive flexibility remain poorly understood.
Medical Xpress / Mindful use of digital technology could reduce workplace burnout, study finds
Employees who engage with digital technology more mindfully are better protected against technostress, exhaustion and poorer mental well-being—and a new tool can now measure this capacity, according to new research.
Medical Xpress / Brain waves once seen as noise could help build a biological model of reality
Your brain has something surprising in common with the ocean: waves. Electrical activity washes over the brain's surface, creating what are called traveling brain waves, or neural traveling waves. These waves cause real differences ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists develop more photostable near-infrared fluorescent dye for longer surgical imaging
Researchers in Korea have developed a new near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye with significantly improved photostability, overcoming the rapid signal fading that has long limited fluorescence imaging during surgery for cancer, ...
Phys.org / Cone snail venom peptide could enable injectable non-opioid pain relief
An international research team led by the Medical University of Vienna has investigated a new peptide derived from cone snail venom that significantly reduced inflammation-induced pain in an animal model. Crucially, its effect ...
Phys.org / Spread of invasive malaria mosquito from Asia to Africa traced in new genomic study
A genomic surveillance study has shed new light on how an invasive urban malaria mosquito species spread from Asia to Africa, potentially threatening public health across a rapidly urbanizing continent where malaria is mainly ...
Tech Xplore / Graphics advances preserve stretched textures and cut shape-computation costs tenfold
Researchers from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) presented two papers at SIGGRAPH in Los Angeles. One paper introduces new methods for texturing highly deformable surfaces, and the other proposes a ...
