Phys.org / Gold clam invasion in NZ threatens drinking water for millions of people
As a geochemist studying New Zealand's freshwater systems, I've spent years tracking the subtle chemical shifts in our rivers and lakes.
Phys.org / Humpback whales are making a comeback—here's one reason why
When University of Southern Denmark whale researcher Olga Filatova set off on her first field trip in 2000, she spent five years looking for whales before she saw a humpback.
Phys.org / Synchrotron radiation sources: Toolboxes for quantum technologies
Synchrotron radiation sources generate highly brilliant light pulses, ranging from infrared to hard X-rays, which can be used to gain deep insights into complex materials.
Phys.org / Controlling quantum states in germanene using only an electric field
Researchers at the University of Twente and Utrecht University demonstrated for the first time that quantum states in the ultra-narrow material germanene can be switched on and off using only an electric field. The researchers ...
Phys.org / Noise-proof quantum sensor uses three calcium ions held in place by electric fields
Researchers at the University of Innsbruck have shown that quantum sensors can remain highly accurate even in extremely noisy conditions. It's the first experimental realization of a powerful quantum sensing protocol, outperforming ...
Tech Xplore / Single molecular membrane can make lithium batteries safer and longer-lasting
A team of Korean scientists has developed a separator technology that dramatically reduces the explosion risk of lithium batteries while doubling their lifespan. Like an ultra-thin bulletproof vest protecting both sides, ...
Phys.org / NZ is taking aim at feral cats. Are we ready for the ethical and practical implications?
Conservationists have long anticipated the recent announcement that the national effort to eradicate possums, stoats and rats will now include feral cats.
Phys.org / AI in bee hives: Monitoring system remotely predicts flowering periods
A monitoring system devised by the University of Cordoba ascertains the flowering stages of each hive, with high precision, exploiting data on bees' behavior.
Medical Xpress / Common health conditions can influence Alzheimer's blood tests
How do everyday health issues affect new blood tests for Alzheimer's disease? A study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Alzheimer's & Dementia, suggests that factors like kidney function, cholesterol, and diabetes ...
Phys.org / Helium leak discovered on the exoplanet WASP-107b
An international team including astronomers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the National Center of Competence in Research PlanetS has observed giant clouds of helium escaping from the exoplanet WASP-107b. Obtained ...
Phys.org / Youth Climate Corps: Young Canadians need more action and less tokenization
Youth engagement is critical in the fight for a just and sustainable future. And creating opportunities for young people is a vital part of a just transition away from fossil fuels.
Phys.org / Calibrating qubit charge to make quantum computers even more reliable
Quantum computers will be able to assume highly complex tasks in the future. With superconducting quantum processors, however, it has thus far been difficult to read out experimental results because measurements can cause ...
