Tech Xplore / A 270-year-old physics trick could supercharge affordable battery technology
Roughly 270 years ago, Dr. Johann Gottlob Leidenfrost from Germany observed a peculiar behavior of water droplets on heated metal surfaces. In his manuscript, "A Tract About Some Qualities of Common Water," he described how ...
Medical Xpress / Research reveals challenges of living with gestational diabetes
A study from the University of Limerick in Ireland has identified the hidden challenges of women living with and managing Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). The research led by academics in UL's Department of Psychology ...
Phys.org / Letting atomic simulations learn from phase diagrams
A new computational method allows modern atomic models to learn from experimental thermodynamic data, according to a University of Michigan Engineering and Université Paris-Saclay study published in Nature Communications. ...
Tech Xplore / Google to open German center for 'AI development'
Google will open an AI center in Berlin on Thursday, the latest sign of Europe's deepening reliance on US firms in cutting edge technologies despite the continent's stated aim to catch up with its rivals.
Phys.org / Are these killer whales cannibals? They probably don't think so themselves
In 2022, a Russian whale researcher made a remarkable discovery on Bering Island off Russia's Pacific coast: a severed killer whale fin marked with the teeth of another killer whale. In 2024, it happened again. The two finds ...
Tech Xplore / Power producers have financial incentives to block market integration despite cost savings, says study
Renewable energy is lowering electricity costs in some parts of the country, but those benefits aren't being seen by consumers everywhere because they're typically placed far away from demand centers. Better integrating electricity ...
Phys.org / Moths use magnetic compass and visual cues to guide them during migration
Nocturnal insects may use both Earth's magnetic field and visual cues to guide their migratory flight behaviors, according to recent findings. The research, published in eLife, presents compelling evidence on how geomagnetic ...
Medical Xpress / Review of 931 papers finds immune 'signatures' tied to post-viral brain fog
What impact does a viral infection have on our memory, attention, and concentration? The COVID-19 pandemic has reignited interest in this question, which has now been extended to other infections such as HIV, herpes, and ...
Medical Xpress / New research finds personal control reduces loneliness in older Australians
Loneliness among older Australians is a growing public health concern, increasing the risk of depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, and dementia. New research from Monash University has revealed that older Australians ...
Phys.org / Tiny flows, big insights: Microfluidics system boosts super-resolution microscopy
Understanding how cells are organized and how their molecular components interact in a coordinated and cooperative manner is a central goal of modern life sciences. To answer these questions, researchers need to observe many ...
Medical Xpress / Women under 25 with cervical lesions face higher risk of heart disease, study finds
Young women with a history of cervical lesions are at 20% higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease and more likely to die from it, compared to others their age without the condition. High-grade squamous intraepithelial ...
Phys.org / Permafrost is key to carbon storage. That makes northern wildfires even more dangerous
The devastating wildfires in northern Canada in recent years have climate consequences that go far beyond smoke and carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, according to a new study co-authored by two NAU researchers. ...
