Phys.org / Could 'Trojan horse'-type microorganisms that exploit symbiotic systems be candidates for new biological pesticides?
Researchers at National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), in collaboration with researchers from The University of Electro-Communications (UEC) and Akita Prefectural University, have discovered ...
Phys.org / Orbitronics clears key hurdle with direct orbital currents, boosting signals 100-fold
Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) are the first to directly utilize orbital currents without the need for conversion of the orbital current into a spin current.
Tech Xplore / Aquifer 'thermal batteries' may cut AI data center cooling demand and save water
Aquifer-based geothermal systems, known as aquifer thermal energy storage, could help ease the environmental stress stemming from artificial intelligence data centers in the United States. Researchers at the Prairie Research ...
Phys.org / Hidden role of garnet reveals how Earth's 660-km seismic boundary forms
Nearly 660 kilometers (410 miles) beneath Earth's surface lies one of the planet's most important internal boundaries. Known as the 660-km seismic discontinuity, it separates the mantle transition zone from the lower mantle ...
Phys.org / Sound waves reconstruct Alaska fireball path after cameras miss key details
When a bright fireball streaked across the Alaska sky last spring, the usual tools scientists rely on to track such events—cameras and satellites—did not provide a detailed picture. But the meteoroid left behind something ...
Medical Xpress / A child can drown in seconds. Doctors want more families to be prepared
Doctors and others are sounding an alarm: More U.S. children have been drowning in recent years.
Phys.org / Martian dust storms may generate atmospheric electrical conditions that could impact future missions
A new study by a doctoral researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), part of The University of Alabama System, suggests global dust storms on Mars may organize the Martian atmosphere into regions favorable ...
Phys.org / How boundary geometry helps embryonic cells organize themselves
One of the most striking biological transitions in nature happens early in development, when an embryo transforms from a simple ball of cells into a highly ordered structure with distinct tissue layers that later develop ...
Phys.org / World Cup research reveals strategy to give teams a penalty-shootout edge
One of football's most iconic moments—the penalty shootout—may be far more strategic than previously thought, with new research challenging the notion that the team kicking first holds a major advantage.
Medical Xpress / 'Polypill' for heart failure cuts hospitalizations and ER visits by 60% in trial
A "polypill" combining three medications recommended to treat heart failure into a single daily dose proved far more effective for patients than taking the drugs separately, a randomized clinical trial led by UT Southwestern ...
Phys.org / Quantum properties of multimode light observed despite extreme losses
Quantum properties of light are extremely delicate. When researchers attempt to measure them, even small losses on the way to a detector can make them invisible, limiting their use outside carefully controlled environments. ...
Medical Xpress / Five hidden pitfalls of fitness tracking
Many people in the U.K. now use apps, smartwatches or wearable devices to track their physical activity. Fitness trackers promise to help users become fitter, happier and healthier versions of themselves. For many people, ...
