Phys.org / Momentum-engineered photonic states make bulk silicon shine
An international team of researchers, led by scientists from the University of California, Irvine, has demonstrated a fundamentally new way to make silicon emit light—overcoming one of the most persistent limitations in modern ...
Medical Xpress / Surprising finding in the eye may explain how we see in low light
A new Yale School of Medicine (YSM) study has uncovered surprising new details about how our eyes process what we see. When we look at something, our visual system breaks down different aspects of the scene—such as color, ...
Phys.org / Electron–atom scattering encodes the quantum state of electron wave packets
A new analysis reveals what happens when very short or narrow electron beams encounter a particle. The research is published in the New Journal of Physics. Scientists should be able to achieve a new level of control over ...
Phys.org / 'First contact' that may have led to complex life on Earth finally witnessed by scientists
On the shores of the west coast of Australia lies a window to our past: the stromatolites and microbial mats of Gathaagudu (Shark Bay).
Phys.org / More than a pretty picture, star-shaped nanomaterial changes energy storage
When created at the nanoscale, materials can resemble shapes like stars, rods or even pyramids. These particle shapes, also known as the morphologies of a solid, make for more than just interesting images under a microscope—they ...
Medical Xpress / New study clears the way for improving devices and treatment for respiratory disorders
A computational study shows for the first time how different parts of the human airway experience levels of pressure and friction from breathing therapy devices. Using a patient-specific 3D airway model derived from CT imaging ...
Phys.org / AI pragmatists: How language teachers are navigating AI with nuance
A pervasive narrative has taken hold in education: generative AI (genAI) is an unstoppable force, and educators must adapt or be left behind.
Phys.org / Split shift: A surprising twist in the biology of aging
A new Yale study of flatworms, a species with the unique ability to regenerate, reveals that disruptions in the body's internal map of cellular organization may play a part in age-related decline.
Tech Xplore / In Europe first, Netherlands to allow Teslas to self-drive
In a first for Europe, the Netherlands is poised to allow Tesla owners to use their car's self-driving feature—as long as they are in the vehicle and keeping a watchful eye over it.
Medical Xpress / Leukemia cells use a sugar-coated protein to hide from the immune system, study reveals
Leukemia is adept at dodging the immune system, making it resistant to many of the newest generation of cancer immunotherapies. Now, researchers have identified a key part of the cancer's disguise: a protein called CD43 on ...
Phys.org / Artemis II lunar mission draws flood of conspiracy theories
From false claims that a historic lunar fly-by was staged in a movie studio to unfounded narratives that footage of the crew was AI-generated, the Artemis II mission has been clouded by a blizzard of misinformation.
Tech Xplore / Volcanic rock formula cuts cement emissions by two-thirds
Researchers have developed a volcanic rock formula that cuts carbon emissions by 67%, potentially offering an affordable alternative to increasingly scarce cement additives.
