Phys.org / A geometric recipe for stabilizing atomically thin metals
Metallenes are atomically thin metals whose unique properties make them extremely promising for nanoscale applications. However, their extreme thinness makes them also flimsy.
Phys.org / Adrift like Shackleton: Robot float survives Antarctic ice
A robotic float has measured the temperature and salinity from parts of the ocean never sampled before—underneath massive floating ice shelves in East Antarctica.
Phys.org / Webb reveals double helium tails escaping from a 'hot Jupiter'
For the first time, scientists have continuously monitored a planet's escaping atmosphere over a complete orbit, revealing that the gas giant WASP-121 b is surrounded by not one but two massive helium tails stretching more ...
Medical Xpress / Q&A: Why knowing your family's surgical history might be key to preventing emergency gallbladder surgery
People might attribute midnight bouts of chest pain or waves of nausea to food poisoning, stress or a stubborn case of indigestion, but Rutgers Health researchers suggest that knowing your family's surgical past could pinpoint ...
Phys.org / Outside the West, the Kundalini tradition presents a model of the 'divine feminine' beyond binary gender
The notion of the divine feminine is a recurring motif in American pop culture, playing with the assumptions people make when referring to God—often the deity described in the Bible—as "He."
Phys.org / Reconfigurable platform slows lights for on-chip photonic engineering
Integrated circuits are the brains behind modern electronic devices like computers or smart phones. Traditionally, these circuits—also known as chips—rely on electricity to process data. In recent years, scientists have ...
Phys.org / Icy hot plasmas: Fluffy, electrically charged ice grains reveal new plasma dynamics
When a gas is highly energized, its electrons get torn from the parent atoms, resulting in a plasma—the oft-forgotten fourth state of matter (along with solid, liquid, and gas). When we think of plasmas, we normally think ...
Phys.org / How Ramanujan's formulae for pi connect to modern high energy physics
Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in school, where we learn about its use in the context of a circle. More recently, scientists have ...
Medical Xpress / Immunotherapy works for sepsis thanks to precision approach
Immunotherapy for sepsis is effective when doctors tailor the treatment precisely to the patient's immune system condition. While earlier research showed little benefit of immunotherapy in sepsis, a new study demonstrates ...
Phys.org / Global shift to sustainable pest management expected to yield long-term benefits
What would happen if farmers around the globe were to switch over to sustainable pest management? An international study headed by the University of Bonn and ETH Zurich focused on precisely this question. The study is based ...
Medical Xpress / Brain-insulin network linked to higher metabolic syndrome risk in stressed women
McGill University researchers have identified a brain function that helps explain why childhood stress raises metabolic health risks for some women later in life.
Tech Xplore / The metaverse is ushering in a new era of behind-the-scenes exploitation
From ancient slavery to the factory floor, progress has often relied on the exploitation of human beings. We might like to believe those days are well behind us. But in the digital age, AI and the metaverse risk repeating ...
