Phys.org / Wind-wave tunnel helps engineers dive deeper into ocean research
Inside a lab at the University of Texas at Dallas, researchers have re-created a small-scale ocean environment where they can make waves build, break and crash into one another.
Phys.org / Light reveals internal motion in electron crystals and can trigger their melting
Electrons, particles that carry a negative electric charge, typically move through materials. At low densities and temperatures, however, the electrical repulsion between them can overpower their tendency to move, prompting ...
Medical Xpress / Residential context has larger impact on ovarian cancer survival in Black women
Residential context has a stronger association with survival for Black than White women with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), according to a study published online Aug. 10 in JAMA Network Open.
Phys.org / New method swaps single atom in a molecule to speed drug discovery
Swapping out one letter in a word can entirely change its meaning. Similarly, swapping one atom in a molecule can completely change its identity. A group of chemists at the University of Chicago has demonstrated a new way ...
Phys.org / A 13-meter rocket hit the Moon: Tasmanian researchers helped track it there
A 13-meter (43-foot) Falcon 9 rocket stage struck the moon last month, leaving a crater about 20 meters (66 feet) wide. In the days before impact, University of Tasmania researchers from the School of Natural Sciences were ...
Tech Xplore / Heteroatom additive boosts efficiency and longevity of tin perovskite solar cells
Metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are promising candidates for next-generation photovoltaics because of their high efficiency and low manufacturing cost. While lead-based perovskite devices achieve high power conversion ...
Phys.org / German cities reveal warmer nights in districts with more non-German residents
Urban heat adaptation will gain in importance as climate change progresses. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have analyzed how sociodemographic factors (nationality, age, and rent) correlate with ...
Medical Xpress / Lab-grown nerves match human sensory signal speeds, enabling tests of myelin repair
Rice University and collaborators in Switzerland have developed a platform to grow human-derived nerve cells and Schwann cells, supporting cells that form a protective coating called myelin around nerve fibers. This platform ...
Phys.org / Health record analysis of one million cattle identifies early prevention as key to reducing feedlot respiratory deaths
New research involving more than 1 million Australian feedlot cattle has found that the strongest predictors of death from bovine respiratory disease (BRD) are established before animals even enter the feedlot, highlighting ...
Tech Xplore / OpenAI to launch new model with 'stronger safeguards' after hack
ChatGPT maker OpenAI said Tuesday it was preparing to release its newest powerful model, known as Astra, after implementing "stronger safeguards" following a rogue cyberattack involving a different AI model.
Phys.org / Growing bacteria line up single-file, then buckle in liquid crystals
When scientists study bacteria that are not in a Petri dish or a test tube but in environments that more closely mimic their actual microbial habitats, they often find delightfully unexpected behaviors. For Sujit Datta, a ...
Phys.org / Warming winters weaken New Hampshire forest's carbon sink over 20 years
Can we count on forests to continue absorbing the carbon dioxide that's warming our world? A new study from researchers at NAU and the University of New Hampshire says ... maybe not.
