Phys.org / Q&A: Chiral phonons research offers new ways to control materials
The rapidly growing field of research on chiral phonons is giving researchers new insights into the fundamental behaviors and structures of materials. The chirality of phonons could pave the way for new methods to control ...
Phys.org / Universe's expansion 'is now slowing, not speeding up': Evidence mounts that dark energy weakens over time
The universe's expansion may actually have started to slow rather than accelerating at an ever-increasing rate as previously thought, a new study suggests.
Tech Xplore / Online age checking is creating a treasure trove of data for hackers
A variety of websites now have processes designed to verify the ages of their users. These checks are carried out in several ways. For instance, AI can be used to analyze whether a photo of the person looks old enough for ...
Phys.org / Rethinking happiness in the hybrid workplace
Have you ever misinterpreted a colleague's tone on a Teams chat? Or wondered what Mike meant by his face-without-a-mouth emoji in response to your carefully worded idea?
Phys.org / Americans support universities' broader social roles but oppose political activism
From free speech to sustainability, Americans broadly agree that universities should engage in a range of societal issues beyond their core education and research missions—while avoiding political activism, a Cornell economist ...
Phys.org / Silver nanowire electrodes get a conductivity surge with new coating technique
Researchers at UNIST have unveiled a simple, yet effective method to replace the insulating coating—known as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)—that covers silver nanowires (AgNWs), enabling significantly better electrical conductivity ...
Phys.org / Novel climate biostress model and sentinel system seek to track global climate impacts
An interdisciplinary team of scientists at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) has unveiled a conceptual model and integrative monitoring framework designed to reveal how climate change ...
Medical Xpress / GLP-1 drugs linked to dramatically lower death rates in colon cancer patients
A new University of California San Diego study offers compelling evidence that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists—the class of drugs behind Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro, for example—may do more than regulate ...
Medical Xpress / Nanovaccine shows great promise for treating HPV-related cancers
A nanoparticle vaccine designed to fight cancers induced by human papillomavirus (HPV) eradicated tumors in an animal model of late-stage metastatic disease, UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists report in a new study ...
Phys.org / Who speaks for the dead? Rethinking consent in ancient DNA research
Would you choose to have a part of your body live on after you died? How might your choice affect your relatives—or even your entire community?
Medical Xpress / New nasal vaccine has potential to transform respiratory disease prevention
A research team from Trinity College Dublin has unveiled a new approach to vaccination that could redefine how we protect against respiratory infections. In a study published in Nature Microbiology, the team demonstrate that ...
Phys.org / Ubiquitous architectural patterns: Scientists classify nature's geometric tilings across multiple scales
A database, collecting and classifying tile-like patterns in biology, aims to be a resource and research catalyst. The human eye is drawn to the rhythmic beauty of tiled patterns, which occur abundantly in nature.
