Phys.org / BESIII sets world's most stringent direct limit on Lambda hyperon electric dipole moment
The BESIII Collaboration, led by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has achieved the world's most precise measurement of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the Lambda (Λ) hyperon using ...
Phys.org / Dual-purpose qubit design could speed operations while cutting quantum errors
Researchers from MIT have designed a new qubit architecture that enables qubits to interact with each other much more quickly while remaining very stable. This advance could someday help scientists build practical quantum ...
Phys.org / First switchable graphene nanoribbon that twists on demand
Researchers at Nagoya University have built a graphene nanoribbon that can switch the direction of its twist using a natural solvent. Graphene nanoribbons are thin, ribbon-shaped structures made of fused carbon rings. Twisted ...
Phys.org / Bovine stem cells offer new approach to future cultivated steak research
Cultivated meat aims to produce meat from animal cells in the laboratory without needing to raise a living animal for meat production. It has been proposed as a potentially more sustainable alternative to conventional meat ...
Phys.org / Tracing the legal history of the kiss—from property and contracts to consent
Is a kiss just a kiss? Or is it a sign of love, affection, a biological urge, a contract or even an assault? Law, history, evolution and anthropology show that it can be all those things.
Phys.org / Bacterial nanoplatform reprograms spleen immune cells to help prevent cancer recurrence
A research team led by Professor Yong Taik Lim at the SKKU Advanced Institute of Nanotechnology (SAINT), Sungkyunkwan University, have developed an engineered nanoplatform named t-SMC (trained immunity-mediated splenic myelopoiesis ...
Medical Xpress / Origins of COPD may lie in how some children's lungs develop, but only when they are exposed to polluted air
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious, incurable lung disease that is common in older people. However, researchers are learning that the origins of the disease may lie decades earlier in how children's ...
Tech Xplore / Why organic chemistry may help build AI that can explain its answers
While most believe artificial intelligence (AI) is changing science, researchers at the University of Notre Dame are exploring the reverse.
Phys.org / Scientists solve years-long mystery of 'beating' signal in a quantum material
A team of Korean researchers has become the first in the world to identify the origin of the "beating" signal that has long been a major obstacle to interpreting quantum signals in topological insulator (TI) nanowires. Their ...
Phys.org / Scientists studying cockroach milk and nose-blowing win Ig Nobel prizes for quirky science
Ten research teams were honored Thursday at a satirical science awards ceremony that was hosted outside the U.S. for the first time due to travel concerns.
Medical Xpress / Tau's surprise birthplace offers a clue to how Alzheimer's tangles begin
Where and how does an Alzheimer's tangle begin? A new study by neuroscientists at Columbia University challenges a long-held assumption about the source of toxic tau proteins, which form neurofibrillary tangles and are closely ...
Phys.org / Permafrost melt could cost $261 billion in infrastructure damages, study suggests
A new study provides insight into the economic impact of melting permafrost on Arctic communities. Permafrost is ground that permanently remains below freezing for at least two consecutive years. Permafrost covers about 24% ...
