Phys.org / China's Tianwen-1 orbiter spots 3I/ATLAS
The interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS just flew past Mars, and China's Tianwen-1 mission managed to snap some pics with its high-resolution camera. According to the China National Space Agency (CNSA), the orbiter's high-resolution ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental compound curbs alcohol intake and motivation in mice, with sex-dependent differences
A new compound tested at the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) in Spain shows promising effects in reducing alcohol consumption and motivation to drink in mice, with marked sex-dependent differences in efficacy. ...
Medical Xpress / The science of weight loss—and why your brain is wired to keep you fat
For decades, we've been told that weight loss is a matter of willpower: eat less, move more. But modern science has proven this isn't actually the case.
Phys.org / AI controls satellite attitude in orbit for first time
As a true milestone on the path to autonomous space systems, a research team at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) has successfully tested an AI-based attitude controller for satellites directly in orbit—a ...
Phys.org / How quantum computers can aid the search for room-temperature superconductors
For the first time, a quantum computer has successfully measured pairing correlations (quantum signals that show electrons teaming up in pairs), which is essential to helping scientists find one of the holy grails of physics—superconductors ...
Medical Xpress / Study challenges advice to avoid coffee for those with atrial fibrillation
Drinking coffee can protect against atrial fibrillation (A-Fib), a common heart rhythm disorder that causes rapid, irregular heartbeat and can lead to stroke and heart failure.
Phys.org / Stone Age Pacific fishing practices revealed through chemical fingerprints hidden in collagen
A new collagen fingerprinting tool can help scientists identify species from archaeological bone fragments. Pacific islanders of the late Stone Age, also known as the Neolithic period, were master fishers. Archaeological ...
Phys.org / Archaeologists examine evidence for Indigenous long-distance voyaging below 50°S
In a study published in the Journal of Coastal and Island Archaeology, Dr. Thomas Leppard and his colleagues, John Cherry and Atholl Anderson, evaluate the evidence for pre-European long-distance voyages below the 50th parallel ...
Phys.org / Study shows people have misconceptions about the environmental impact of everyday food
A new study has given new insights into people's understanding of the environmental impact of the food they eat and shown that they often misperceive it, supporting the need for environmental impact labeling.
Phys.org / Two independent quantum networks successfully fused into one
Many quantum researchers are working toward building technologies that allow for the existence of a global quantum internet, in which any two users on Earth would be able to conduct large-scale quantum computing and communicate ...
Tech Xplore / New holography-inspired reconfigurable surface developed for wireless communication
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) are engineered structures comprised of several elements known as 'meta-atoms,' which can reshape and control electromagnetic waves in real-time. These surfaces could contribute to ...
Tech Xplore / New electrolyte helps all-solid-state batteries overcome long-standing 5 V stability barrier
All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are promising rechargeable batteries in which conventional liquid electrolytes are replaced with solid materials. These batteries could help to safely meet the growing demands of the electronics ...
