Phys.org / Extreme stability in ultrafast nanomagnetism aids the development of faster data storage
For the first time, researchers have mapped how the boundaries of magnetic nanostructures behave on extremely short timescales. The work of physicist Johan Mentink of Radboud University shows that these boundaries are much ...
Phys.org / The fake disease that fooled the internet, and what it says about all of us
Until a few years ago, no one had heard of bixonimania. Then, in 2024, a group of scientists posted findings online announcing the condition, which they claimed affected the eyes after computer use. However, the scientists ...
Phys.org / LAMOST maps open cluster NGC 1647, linking broad main sequence to differential reddening
Using the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), astronomers have observed a nearby young open cluster known as NGC 1647. Results of the new observations, presented in a paper published April ...
Phys.org / Common claim that most transgender youth renounce that identity is not supported by statistics, research finds
The frequently cited claim that 60% to 90% of transgender and gender-diverse children and young adults ultimately identify as cisgender—or their gender assigned at birth—is not supported by statistical analyses of published ...
Tech Xplore / Australia aims to tax tech giants unless they pay news outlets
Australia unveiled draft laws on Tuesday that would tax tech giants Meta, Google and TikTok unless they voluntarily strike deals to pay local outlets for news.
Medical Xpress / Could a new tool for diabetes treatment be hiding in your spice cabinet?
Curcumin, the compound that gives turmeric its striking yellow hue, is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. A new study conducted in rats suggests it could also help ward off the cardiovascular damage ...
Medical Xpress / Blocking immune 'signal two' expands gut tolerance cells, may open new IBD treatments
Weill Cornell Medicine investigators made an unexpected finding about how the immune system normally suppresses inappropriate chronic inflammation in the intestine, potentially opening new avenues for therapies against inflammatory ...
Phys.org / Magnet with near-zero external field could reshape future electronics
An international research team led by DTU has developed a new magnetic material that features a stable internal magnetic structure, almost no external magnetic field, and retains these properties above room temperature. These ...
Phys.org / Mars rover detects never-before-seen organic compounds in new experiment
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has uncovered a diverse mix of organic molecules on Mars, including chemicals widely considered building blocks for the origin of life on Earth.
Phys.org / Japan startup seeks approval of cat kidney disease treatment
A Japanese startup has filed for approval of a new drug to treat chronic kidney disease in cats, the founder said on Monday, offering hope for a common affliction that currently has no definitive cure.
Medical Xpress / Antibodies can selectively shut down harmful T cells without weakening whole immune system
The immune system is the frontline protection against infection, continually searching for and destroying unknown pathogens. While typical operation of the immune system scans for threats, some systems attack the body's own ...
Phys.org / When the rain comes, some NYC subway riders stay home. Scientists are now mapping exactly who, and where
On a sweltering August afternoon or in the teeth of a winter storm, New York City subway riders make a quiet calculation: Is the trip worth it? A new study published in npj Sustainable Mobility and Transport takes a detailed ...
