Phys.org / High-entropy garnet crystal enables enhanced 2.8 μm mid-infrared laser performance
Recently, a research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully grew a high-entropy garnet-structured oxide crystal and achieved enhanced laser performance at the 2.8 ...
Phys.org / Some tropical land may heat up nearly twice as much as oceans under climate change, sediment record suggests
Some tropical land regions may warm more dramatically than previously predicted, as climate change progresses, according to a new CU Boulder study that looks millions of years into Earth's past. Using lake sediments from ...
Medical Xpress / High ultra-processed food diets linked to 47% higher cardiovascular disease risk
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrially modified products loaded with added fats, sugars, starches, salts and chemical additives like emulsifiers. From sodas to snacks and processed meats, these foods are stripped of ...
Medical Xpress / RNA molecule discovery could lead to potential new breast cancer therapy
QIMR Berghofer scientists have discovered a cancer-fighting RNA molecule that could hold the key to a new way of treating the most common form of breast cancer. The team are developing their findings into a potential RNA-based ...
