Phys.org / New three‑dimensional magnetic structure discovered with laser light
Flashes of femtosecond laser light, lasting just a few trillionths of a second, have made it possible to observe new magnetic structures for the first time. By using light as a remote control, researchers were able to switch ...
Phys.org / Early childhood educators change how they speak to toddlers depending on gender, finds study
Early childhood educators speak differently to boys compared to girls in toddler classrooms, University of Queensland research has found.
Tech Xplore / New model predicts wind power surge risks across turbines, farms and grids
One of the key challenges to climate-neutral power generation is addressing the risk of unpredictable power surges from renewables. Even with advanced turbine design or battery storage, a gust of wind or changing atmospheric ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers identify new target to prevent aggressive form of prostate cancer
Researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center have identified a gene that drives the development of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), an aggressive form of the disease. The study published in the Journal of ...
Tech Xplore / Smartphones may soon be able to track hidden objects using LiDAR
Modern smartphones are packed with incredible technology, from high-resolution cameras and advanced graphics chips to AI processors. In premium models, this hardware includes LiDAR (light detection and ranging), which helps ...
Phys.org / Surface design transforms thermal management and enables frictionless systems
A research team led by Professor Steven Wang, Associate Vice President (Resources Planning) and Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and School of Energy and Environment, has designed a revolutionary ...
Phys.org / Adequate potassium management is key to maximizing cotton yield and fiber quality, researchers reiterate
With the 2026 cotton planting season in full swing, research out of the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station provides a fresh reminder of the importance of sufficient potassium for cotton lint yield and quality.
Phys.org / New fences can save restored saltmarsh, research suggests
Saltmarsh is disappearing from coastlines around the world, and while brushwood fencing can help bring it back, a new study has found it only works if the fences are kept in good repair. Around 46% of the world's saltmarsh ...
Medical Xpress / Supermarket receipts show trends in menstrual pain relief
More than a quarter of women buying menstrual products also purchase pain relief at the same time—and those in lower-income areas are significantly less likely to do so—according to a new study published this week in PLOS ...
Phys.org / Trophic rewilding by large herbivores supports insect diversity, scientists find
Insects are declining across Europe. Czech scientists have determined this decline can be mitigated by returning large ungulates—horses, aurochs cattle, and wisents—to landscapes. This has been shown by a recent study by ...
Medical Xpress / Wearable ultrasound patch for high-risk pregnancies could improve care
Engineers at the University of California San Diego have created a soft, wearable ultrasound patch that can continuously monitor a fetus for hours at a time—and it can do so consistently even as the fetus and umbilical cord ...
Medical Xpress / Healthy lifestyle shown to lower risk of death after cancer diagnosis
New evidence shows that sticking to five lifestyle recommendations improves survival after a later cancer diagnosis. The findings provide encouraging evidence that simple, achievable habits established before a cancer diagnosis ...
