Phys.org / Fast radio bursts could help disentangle galactic feedback from dark matter effects
Intense, brief flashes of radio light called fast radio bursts (FRBs) travel across billions of light-years to reach Earth, passing through a fog of matter along the way. The bursts' origins are unclear but may originate ...
Medical Xpress / Different daily step count and stepping pace combos may all lower the risk of early death
Fewer daily steps at a faster pace or more steps at a slower pace may both substantially lower the risk of an early death, with a brisker pace for at least 30 minutes a day the potential sweet spot for those with sedentary ...
Phys.org / X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals the surface chemistry of bio-based hybrid materials
Just a few atomic layers at the surface can strongly influence how effectively a material binds pollutants from water or how efficiently a photocatalyst responds to light. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied ...
Phys.org / Giant impacts may strip small icy moons of subsurface oceans
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists used simulations to understand the role disruptive impacts play on icy moons with subsurface oceans in our solar system. A recent paper published in the journal Nature Astronomy ...
Phys.org / New way to harness copper makes antibiotic-resistant bacteria and cancer cells more vulnerable
University of Missouri researchers have discovered a new way to harness one of the body's natural defenses: copper. While copper is essential for life and helps power important biological processes, having too much of it ...
Phys.org / Martian air could yield methane rocket fuel with fewer unwanted byproducts
As NASA prepares to send humans to Mars as early as the 2030s, University of Mississippi researchers are working on one of the key questions: How will they get back?
Medical Xpress / New Mathematical model estimates curable window for fast-growing lung tumors
Detecting lung cancer early is critical to a patient's survival, but how early is early enough? Florida International University math professor and researcher Deborah Goldwasser is uncovering new findings that could identify ...
Phys.org / New molecular magnet design boosts performance for ultrahigh-density data storage
Researchers at The University of Manchester and the Australian National University have developed a new class of molecular magnets that combines the most successful features of previous designs, resulting in some of the strongest ...
Phys.org / Lakes aren't just storing water—they're changing the carbon cycle
Lakes may look like picturesque stopping points along a river or stream, but they can have a big influence on what happens to carbon as it moves through a landscape. New research suggests that the more lake-rich a network ...
Phys.org / Weak hydrogen bonds dethrone copper as the most stable metal binder, opening a new path for metal selection
Copper has been knocked off the top of a stability ranking it had dominated for decades. Without altering the atoms directly bonded to the metal, a KAIST research team reversed the longstanding trend in which copper generally ...
Phys.org / AI helps reveal the immersive sensory experiences of ancient Etruscan tombs
The Etruscan painted tombs in Tarquinia, Italy, date to the first millennium BCE and are known for their vivid scenes of music, feasting, processions and the afterlife. While these tombs have been extensively studied, archaeologists ...
Medical Xpress / AMH fertility tests surge but cannot predict natural pregnancy
Increasing numbers of Australian women are using a blood test to assess their fertility, but new research suggests it may not provide the answers many are looking for. A study led by Flinders University and published in the ...
