Phys.org / Pressure-responsive, layered semiconductor shows potential for next-gen data storage
A squishy, layered material that dramatically transforms under pressure could someday help computers store more data with less energy.
Phys.org / With AI, researchers can now identify the smallest crystals
One longstanding problem has sidelined life-saving drugs, stalled next-generation batteries, and kept archaeologists from identifying the origins of ancient artifacts.
Medical Xpress / Too few ward nurses linked to longer hospital stay, readmission, and risk of death
Employing too few permanent nurses on hospital wards is linked to longer inpatient stays, readmissions, patient deaths, and ultimately costs more in lives and money, finds a long-term study published online in the journal ...
Phys.org / Nuclear chemistry research gets an efficiency boost with 'serial approach'
Heavy actinides—elements at the bottom of the periodic table, after plutonium—are radioactive, rare and chemically complex, making them notoriously difficult to study. Most studies conducted on these elements have traditionally ...
Phys.org / Structure of lipid-transfer tunnel protein in C. elegans revealed
Oregon Health & Science University, in collaboration with Oregon State University, has discovered the structural organization and protein components of a lipid-transfer complex known as LPD-3. Findings show that LPD-3 contains ...
Phys.org / First real-time visualization of nanofiber self-assembly uncovers key steps in formation of supramolecular gels
Imagine materials that build themselves, responding intelligently to their environment to deliver drugs precisely where needed, scaffold regenerating tissues, or clean up pollutants. These are the promises of supramolecular ...
Tech Xplore / AI automates structured grid generation for better simulations
A research team from the Skoltech AI Center proposed a new neural network architecture for generating structured curved coordinate grids, an important tool for calculations in physics, biology, and even finance. The study ...
Tech Xplore / Passivation technique reduces defects in kesterite solar cells to achieve 11.51% efficiency
Over the past few decades, solar cells have become increasingly widespread, with a growing number of individuals and businesses worldwide now relying on solar energy to power their homes or operations. Energy engineers worldwide ...
Phys.org / Hard-to-avoid emissions: Study finds limited potential for marine carbon dioxide removal in Germany's seas
Increasing the natural uptake of carbon dioxide by the ocean or storing captured CO₂ under the seabed are currently being discussed in Germany as potential ways to offset unavoidable residual emissions and achieve the country's ...
Phys.org / Sexism can undermine teams by disrupting emotional synchrony's role in performance
In a world where innovation and progress depend on effective teamwork, a new study reveals how sexist behavior within teams sabotages not just individuals, but the very fabric of collaboration.
Tech Xplore / Ferroelectric RAM performs calculations within memory
In a new Nature Communications study, researchers have developed an in-memory ferroelectric differentiator capable of performing calculations directly in the memory without requiring a separate processor.
Medical Xpress / Climate change and lack of sustainable policies may fuel rise in superbugs
Current climate change trajectories and failing to meet sustainable development strategies could contribute to an increase in the global burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by 2050, according to a study published in ...
