Deep in the frozen heart of Antarctica, the South Pole Telescope has been watching one of the most extreme neighborhoods in our galaxy, and it's just caught something extraordinary happening there. Astronomers have detected ...
Phys.org / RNA droplets may have accelerated prebiotic Earth's development of complex molecules
The origin of life from Earth's primordial chemistry has long fascinated and perplexed us. Generations of scientists have endeavored to understand how complex biochemistry developed from organic compounds. Researchers at ...
Phys.org / New map of the Milky Way's magnetism offers insights into cosmic evolution
A UBC Okanagan-led research project has given a group of international scientists their clearest view yet of the Milky Way's magnetic field, revealing that it is far more complex than previously believed.
Phys.org / Atomic spins set quantum fluid in motion: Experimental realization of the Einstein–de Haas effect
The Einstein–de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a quantum fluid by researchers at Science Tokyo. The team observed this effect in a Bose–Einstein condensate ...
Medical Xpress / Laws to keep guns away from distressed individuals reduce suicides, suggests study
In 2023, more than half of all suicide deaths in the United States involved firearms. "Red flag" laws—also called Extreme Risk Protection Orders or ERPOs—are designed to reduce these deaths by authorizing temporary firearm ...
Phys.org / Real-time imaging captures contact between cells and between a single neuron's extensions
Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way to track how and when ...
Medical Xpress / New guide aims to tame the chaos of UTI care
Millions of times a year, Americans seek urgent treatment for painful, embarrassing urinary tract infections. But while they once had to go in person for testing and treatment, now they can type messages to their clinic into ...
