Phys.org / Europe's answer to Starship
In the summer of 2023, something happened that engineers had talked about for decades but few genuinely expected to see in their lifetimes. SpaceX's Starship, a stainless steel tower taller than a 30-story building, lit its ...
Tech Xplore / Power producers have financial incentives to block market integration despite cost savings, says study
Renewable energy is lowering electricity costs in some parts of the country, but those benefits aren't being seen by consumers everywhere because they're typically placed far away from demand centers. Better integrating electricity ...
Medical Xpress / Long-living wild mouse may hold secret to healthy aging
When it comes to health, some of our animal neighbors have extraordinary advantages. Ostriches, for example, are highly resistant to viruses, while sharks rarely develop cancer. And species like naked mole rats and bowhead ...
Medical Xpress / New findings provide objective look at broad sensory impairments among long COVID sufferers
New research from The Ohio State University College of Medicine is the first to objectively measure multisensory losses in COVID-19 patients. "Our goal is to understand why some long COVID patients experience different profiles ...
Phys.org / Moths use magnetic compass and visual cues to guide them during migration
Nocturnal insects may use both Earth's magnetic field and visual cues to guide their migratory flight behaviors, according to recent findings. The research, published in eLife, presents compelling evidence on how geomagnetic ...
Medical Xpress / Consent and its discontents: UK Biobank projects may breach trust of thousands of participants
UK Biobank is a major biomedical database and research resource, holding the genetic, health, and lifestyle information of half a million adult volunteers. Its datasets are accessible to approved researchers from academic, ...
Tech Xplore / Radar technology estimates location, orientation, radius of underground pipes
Purdue University engineers have developed a patent-pending method to decrease hazardous strikes to underground utility pipes during construction projects. This could lower related financial losses, service disruptions, injuries ...
Phys.org / Black Death 'rewilding' did not boost biodiversity, study suggests
The bubonic plague, which swept across Europe between 1347 and 1353, is estimated to have killed up to one half of the continent's population. The sudden loss of life led to the abandonment of farms, villages and fields, ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers are combining drones and AI to make removing land mines faster and safer
At least 57 nations have live antipersonnel land mines in their territories. In 2024 alone, 1,945 people were killed by mines and 4,325 were injured, 90% of whom were civilians. Nearly half of those were children. Demining ...
Tech Xplore / Ultrasonic sensor eliminates inspection blind spots in extreme environments
The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has developed an ultrasonic sensor technology that applies a waveguide to detect defects in all directions without directly attaching sensors to the inspection ...
Phys.org / Tiny flows, big insights: Microfluidics system boosts super-resolution microscopy
Understanding how cells are organized and how their molecular components interact in a coordinated and cooperative manner is a central goal of modern life sciences. To answer these questions, researchers need to observe many ...
Phys.org / CEO turnover taxes analyst attention, skewing broader forecasts
When analyst attention is absorbed by CEO turnover, other companies in their portfolio pay the price, new Cornell research finds. The study, "Analyst Rational Inattention: Evidence from CEO Turnover Events," published in ...
