Tech Xplore / Ultra-low power, fully biodegradable artificial synapse offers record-breaking memory
In Nature Communications, a research team affiliated with UNIST present a fully biodegradable, robust, and energy-efficient artificial synapse that holds great promise for sustainable neuromorphic technologies. Made entirely ...
Phys.org / Research reinvents MXene synthesis at a fraction of the cost
MXenes (pronounced like the name "Maxine") are a class of two-dimensional materials, first identified just 14 years ago, with remarkable potential for energy storage, catalysts, ultrastrong lightweight composites, and a variety ...
Phys.org / Merging nanopores with nanofluidic devices could transform medicine and diagnostics
When disease begins forming inside the human body, something subtle happens long before symptoms appear. Individual molecules such as DNA, RNA, peptides, or proteins begin shifting in quantity or shape. Detecting these tiny ...
Tech Xplore / Vapor-deposition method delivers unprecedented durability in perovskite–silicon tandem solar cells
NUS researchers have developed a vapor-deposition method that dramatically improves the long-term and high-temperature stability of perovskite-silicon (Si) tandem solar cells. The findings were published in Science.
Medical Xpress / Psilocybin shows greater potential than cannabinoids for obsessive-compulsive disorder treatment
In a review of previous studies, McMaster University researchers observe a stronger signal for psilocybin as a treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder than cannabinoids.
Phys.org / How mountain building and climate change have shaped alpine biodiversity over 30 million years
In a study published in Science Advances on December 19, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators from international institutions, explored ...
Tech Xplore / Electrochemical tuning of Ni-rich cathodes curbs c-collapse, enhancing lithium-ion battery durability
Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) remain the most widely used rechargeable batteries worldwide, due to their light weight, high energy densities and their short charging times. Energy engineers have been trying to identify new ...
Phys.org / Newly discovered microbes challenge assumptions about methane production in the environment
It's been known for nearly a century that swarms of single-celled organisms thrive by consuming chemicals from their environments and expelling methane gas as a byproduct. In 2024, researchers in the laboratory of Roland ...
Phys.org / Comet 3I/ATLAS: Europa Clipper captures rare ultraviolet view
The Southwest Research Institute-led Ultraviolet Spectrograph (UVS) aboard NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft has made valuable observations of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, which in July became the third officially recognized ...
Phys.org / Precessing magnetic jet engine model reveals power source of rare 'heartbeat' gamma-ray burst
Prof. An Tao from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed a novel "precessing magnetic jet engine" model to explain the peculiar gamma-ray burst (GRB) 250702B, a rare cosmic ...
Phys.org / Deep ocean earthquakes drive Southern Ocean's massive phytoplankton blooms, study finds
Stanford researchers have uncovered evidence that deep underwater earthquakes can spur the growth of massive phytoplankton blooms at the ocean surface.
Phys.org / Measuring how materials hotter than the sun's surface conduct electricity
Warm dense matter is a state of matter that forms at extreme temperatures and pressures, like those found at the center of most stars and many planets, including Earth. It also plays a role in the generation of Earth's magnetic ...
