Medical Xpress / In-home sensor technology offers smarter care for ALS patients
Bill Janes is on a mission to improve life for people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). As a licensed occupational therapist and researcher at the University of Missouri, he's seen firsthand how the disease can steal ...
Phys.org / Quantum sensor based on silicon carbide qubits operates at room temperature
Over the past decades, physicists and quantum engineers introduced a wide range of systems that perform desired functions leveraging quantum mechanical effects. These include so-called quantum sensors, devices that rely on ...
Medical Xpress / New technique maps genetic variants driving neurodegenerative disease risk
Disease development is often shaped by genetics, with how much or how little a gene is expressed influencing disease risk. While advances in technology and sequencing methods have led to a greater understanding of gene structure, ...
Phys.org / Nature's greatest method actors: The insects that cosplay bumblebees
Deception is everywhere in nature. Animals and plants routinely cheat, lie and manipulate for their own benefit. One example is mimicry, where one species (the mimic) has evolved to resemble another (the model).
Phys.org / NZ is taking aim at feral cats. Are we ready for the ethical and practical implications?
Conservationists have long anticipated the recent announcement that the national effort to eradicate possums, stoats and rats will now include feral cats.
Tech Xplore / Serendipitous observation reveals how airplanes discharge static electricity
An international team of scientists, led by Olaf Scholten, professor of astrophysics at the University of Groningen, has observed radio wave emissions originating from a commercial airliner, most likely caused by the discharge ...
Phys.org / Experts propose circular economy to cut waste and pollution from space missions
Every time a rocket is launched, tons of valuable materials are lost, and huge amounts of greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting chemicals are released into the atmosphere. Published in Chem Circularity, sustainability and ...
Phys.org / AI in bee hives: Monitoring system remotely predicts flowering periods
A monitoring system devised by the University of Cordoba ascertains the flowering stages of each hive, with high precision, exploiting data on bees' behavior.
Phys.org / Youth Climate Corps: Young Canadians need more action and less tokenization
Youth engagement is critical in the fight for a just and sustainable future. And creating opportunities for young people is a vital part of a just transition away from fossil fuels.
Phys.org / Expansion of Antarctic bottom water contributed to end of last Ice Age, study finds
Around 12,000 years ago, the last Ice Age ended, global temperatures rose and the early Holocene began, during which time human societies became increasingly settled. A new study published in Nature Geoscience shows the ...
Phys.org / Winter storms blanket the East, while the US West is wondering: Where's the snow?
Ski season is here, but while the eastern half of the U.S. digs out from winter storms, the western U.S. snow season has been off to a very slow start.
Phys.org / High pressure increases terahertz emission 13-fold in 2D semiconductor GaTe, study reveals
A new study led by the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with their collaborators, has demonstrated that high pressure can significantly enhance and precisely tune terahertz ...
