Phys.org / Liquid crystal phase in antiferromagnets can be detected electrically
The best candidate for next-generation magnetic devices—technology that can power, store, sense or transport information—may be, counterintuitively, antiferromagnets. Today, the most widely used magnetic materials are ...
Dialog / The wetland puzzle that stumped hydrology for decades—how physics and AI joined forces to predict unmeasured regions
For years, the Prairie Pothole Region has bothered me in a very specific way. On a map, it looks like a normal landscape: fields, gentle slopes, small streams. But hydrologically, it behaves like something else entirely. ...
Phys.org / Hard-to-make diastereomers: How a cage-like allyl reagent changes the outcome
Diastereomers are structurally identical molecules that are not mirror images of each other. Diastereomers can have different biological activities, potencies or toxicities, which means they can influence biological systems, ...
Phys.org / How adult hygienic honey bees show unique advantages in fighting infectious pathogens
For the first time, research shows that a key social trait in honey bees is linked to measurable physiological advantages that can improve colony survival. A study published in PLOS One uncovers how hygienic honey bee colonies ...
Medical Xpress / Ketamine reduces anxiety and social withdrawal in stressed adolescent mice
Ketamine is a powerful anesthetic used for surgery and acute pain management. But in recent years, it has also gained a reputation as a potential treatment for certain mental health conditions like stress and anxiety. In ...
Phys.org / Size-shifting nanoparticles successfully deliver mRNA medicine to the pancreas
In recent years, mRNA in lipid nanoparticles (mRNA–LNPs) has emerged as a promising strategy for treating numerous conditions, including COVID-19, various cancers and chronic genetic disorders. To date, this technology ...
Medical Xpress / Study confirms food fortification is highly cost-effective in fighting hidden hunger across 63 countries
A comprehensive new systematic review published in The Journal of Nutrition provides the latest evidence that large-scale food fortification is a highly cost-effective intervention for reducing global malnutrition. The research ...
Phys.org / Deadly soil fungal pathogen puts Australia's reptiles at risk of extinction
University of Queensland researchers say Australia's reptiles are at risk of extinction because a little understood fungus is infecting species throughout the environment. Associate Professor Celine Frere from UQ's School ...
Phys.org / Tomato and pepper production faces emerging threats
A research team composed of plant virologists from the Plant Virus Department at Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures, the Italian National Research Council and BASF-Nunhems Italy, ...
Medical Xpress / New research finds personal control reduces loneliness in older Australians
Loneliness among older Australians is a growing public health concern, increasing the risk of depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, and dementia. New research from Monash University has revealed that older Australians ...
Tech Xplore / Deepfake songs are exploding, but a new tool shuts them down
Artificial intelligence models can now clone a voice with just a few seconds of audio, fueling a surge of deepfake songs online and creating a growing crisis for musicians who don't want their voices hijacked. Beyond the ...
Phys.org / Leopards adapted to South Africa's Cape so successfully that they're genetically unique
Animals of the same species don't always look the same. From birds with different beak shapes to mammals that vary in size or color, populations living in different places can often look very different.
