Phys.org / Hidden in plain sight: The race to discover new species before they're gone
When most people imagine scientists discovering new species, they probably still picture an expedition into the unknown.
Phys.org / Too much hype? Research explores the best language to use for successful crowdfunding
Entrepreneurs use a variety of strategies to achieve their goals, sometimes turning to online crowdfunding campaigns to increase their reach and raise money. Yet the success of fundraising campaigns is often variable, driven ...
Phys.org / SpaceX's IPO is set to be the biggest ever and could make Elon Musk a trillionaire
SpaceX says it plans to raise up to $75 billion when it goes public this month, setting the stage for the largest-ever stock market debut and putting Elon Musk on course to becoming the world's first trillionaire.
Tech Xplore / Carbon ratios in concrete can improve carbon accounting
For the first time, researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, have found out how to determine how much carbon dioxide (CO2) from either natural or anthropogenic sources can be absorbed by special concrete ...
Phys.org / Evidence of cosmic-ray acceleration from a nearby supernova remnant
Cosmic rays seen at Earth show a wide range of particle energies, from 107 electron-volts (eV) to more than 1020 eV, the latter being about the same as the kinetic energy of a 450 gram football (soccer ball) being kicked ...
Phys.org / Bees can swim and use visual cues to survive water crashes
When a bee crashes into water, it may still be able to swim to safety. New research from Michigan State University confirms that honeybees can propel themselves across the water's surface, and their movement is purposeful ...
Phys.org / An unfinished reckoning with police violence: Community data show ongoing systemic racism
It's been roughly six years since the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis sparked a global conversation about anti-Black police violence and the excessive use of police force against Black and Indigenous communities.
Phys.org / Pulsar wind nebula inside supernova remnant explored with Chandra
Astronomers from the George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, DC, and elsewhere have employed NASA's Chandra X-ray spacecraft to observe a pulsar wind nebula inside a supernova remnant known as CTA 1. Results of ...
Medical Xpress / Online type 2 diabetes support linked to better health outcomes in England
A free online NHS program is delivering meaningful health improvements for adults living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) across England, a new study by University of Manchester researchers has shown. The NHS program called "Healthy ...
Medical Xpress / Conductive plastic mimics heart cell ion signaling for first time
For the first time, scientists have succeeded in artificially mimicking the ion signaling of heart muscle cells. To succeed, researchers at LiU have used organic electronics based on conductive plastics. The findings, published ...
Phys.org / Laser beam builds cell-like protein networks without chemical modification
Networks of protein fibers play important roles in living cells. To understand the dynamical behavior of these networks, model networks are needed to perform in vitro studies. However, fabrication of protein networks similar ...
Phys.org / New X-ray method captures solid-liquid interfaces and bulk liquids simultaneously
Researchers have developed a method for making simultaneous soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements of solid-liquid interfaces and bulk liquids. By controlling the thickness of the liquid layer, they obtained ...
