Phys.org / Quantum sensor overcomes major obstacle in search for dark matter and gravitational waves
A prototype quantum sensor developed by researchers at Imperial has demonstrated for the first time that a key principle behind next-generation quantum detectors can work under realistic conditions.
Medical Xpress / Our brains predict the world—but learn most when they get it wrong
Few moments in a soccer game are more electrifying than the penalty kick. The goalkeeper stands, waiting for the kick—and even before the ball is struck, they must predict where it is going and spring into action.
Phys.org / Natural symbiosis: How plants and microbes share vital nutrients in fragile ecosystems
Nitrogen is essential for all living organisms, but in many ecosystems it is in short supply. Plants and soil microbes both rely on nitrogen to grow, leading to intense competition below ground. Researchers at The University ...
Phys.org / Airflow mystery solved: Heavy rain reshaped airflow through miles of underground tunnels
Successfully operating in a deep underground space requires mitigating two factors: air and water.
Medical Xpress / Inflammation may trigger protective cell shift in ulcerative colitis, study finds
Paneth cell metaplasia (PCM), long viewed as a consequence of chronic inflammation in ulcerative colitis, may also help protect and repair the intestine, according to researchers at Science Tokyo. The study found that inflammation ...
Medical Xpress / Whole-food plant meal fails to boost post-workout muscle gains, study finds
In a randomized controlled trial, researchers tested whether a plant-based, whole-food, complementary-protein meal consumed immediately after a bout of weight training would stimulate a stronger muscle-building response than ...
Medical Xpress / New blood test detects more high-risk prostate cancer cases
A new blood test may make it easier to detect the most dangerous forms of prostate cancer early. In a study from Karolinska Institutet, the Stockholm3 blood test detected more clinically significant cancer cases than the ...
Phys.org / Heat stress exposure climbed from 16% to 22% worldwide over 50 years, study shows
The number of people exposed to dangerous heat stress worldwide has risen sharply over the past half-century, propelled by climate change, according to a study released Monday as Europe sweltered through a punishing heat ...
Phys.org / Molecular 'Velcro' gel removes PFAS from water without fluorinated materials
A new gel-based material developed by University of Florida chemical engineers filters PFAS forever chemicals from water more efficiently than many widely used commercial options. The advance offers a potential new path to ...
Phys.org / A new strategy can improve safety in poultry processing
Salmonella is a common source of food poisoning that leads to potentially life-threatening illnesses, widespread food recalls and a consistent challenge for poultry producers. UConn Department of Animal Science associate ...
Phys.org / Five phases of localization physics observed in a single quantum system
Physicists in China have observed five phases in localization physics within a single quantum system. Using an advanced photonic platform, the team, led by Yucheng Wang and Jingyun Fan at the Southern University of Science ...
Medical Xpress / Quantum-inspired AI could tailor patients' cancer treatment to their entire molecular background
For a child diagnosed with neuroblastoma—the most common infant cancer, occurring when early nerve cells grow out of control—the path to treatment isn't simple. Some types of neuroblastoma resolve on their own, while others ...
