Phys.org / Quantum computers model nine fusion fuel material configurations for first time
A team of scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Cleveland Clinic and IBM has calculated nine molecular configurations of a promising material to produce fuel for fusion energy—the first known instance of such computations ...
Medical Xpress / Autism research finds Phelan-McDermid syndrome may affect 1 in 7,300 people: More common than previously thought
New research, led by scientists from the Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment at Mount Sinai and published in Autism Research, has estimated that Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) affects approximately 1 in 7,300 ...
Phys.org / Young giant gas planet Beta Pic B refuses to reveal its origin
The young planetary system of the 23-million-year-old star Beta Pictoris (short: Beta Pic) is regarded as an iconic circumstellar dust disk, which hosts at least three giant gas planets. Discovered in 2008 by direct imaging, ...
Medical Xpress / Breast cancer is rising fast in Asian American women, study finds
A new study led by UC San Francisco has found an alarming rise in invasive breast cancer among Asian American women over the last two decades.
Phys.org / Self-propelled microparticles scrub stubborn biofilms, improving wound care and instrument cleaning
Newly developed microparticles can infiltrate stubborn bacterial matrices and release tiny oxygen bubbles to clean surfaces and wounds more efficiently than hydrogen peroxide or other cleaning agents alone, researchers at ...
Tech Xplore / Rooftop solar adoption may hinge on a household champion, studies suggest
Two sets of roles emerge when couples consider installing solar panels on their house, a new study shows: in sync, when partners with shared goals and defined tasks end up adopting solar, and oppositional, marked by discord ...
Phys.org / Caddisfly silk gene evolves quickly without losing adhesive power
Caddisflies are among nature's master underwater builders, capable of spinning sticky silk that they use to form protective cases and webs in freshwater streams. Scientists like the University of Utah's Russell Stewart have ...
Phys.org / Wearables to track plant health: Farmers could use real-time information to manage crop conditions
A smartwatch can tell us the level of oxygen in our blood, when our sleep is restless or the number of steps we take in a day. Now imagine that kind of tracking ability for plants. By the time farmers see curling leaves or ...
Phys.org / A new route to electrically controlled helimagnetic structures
Advanced magnetic memory and spintronic devices rely on the ability to control magnetic states using electricity. Today, such technologies work by manipulating relatively simple magnetic structures found in ferromagnets, ...
Tech Xplore / AI memory bottleneck may ease as ultrathin chip stacks quadruple high-bandwidth memory density
A Korean research team has developed a technology that enables the stable stacking of more than 10 ultrathin semiconductor chips, each only one-fifth the thickness of a human hair. A research team successfully achieved an ...
Medical Xpress / Surgeons use teleoperated humanoid robots to perform live surgery—a world first
For the first time, two teleoperated humanoid robots have been used to complete two surgeries during a preclinical trial, researchers report in the July 8 issue of the journal Nature. The work is the result of a collaboration ...
Tech Xplore / Holographic printer produces 3D shapes in one shot
University of Utah researchers have demonstrated a new method of 3D printing that avoids the leaky seams that come with the layer-by-layer process. Using a nanoscale "mask" that diffracts laser light into a holographic pattern ...
