Phys.org / When you're happy, your dog might look sad: Study reveals surprising twist in how people read canine emotions
When people are feeling happy, they're more likely to see other people as happy. If they're feeling down, they tend to view other people as sad. But when dealing with dogs, this well-established psychological effect ceases ...
Tech Xplore / Aluminum stabilizes high-nickel cathodes, curbing rapid capacity loss in EV batteries
To increase driving range, electric vehicle (EV) batteries rely on high-nickel cathodes. However, this high nickel content has a critical drawback: battery performance degrades rapidly during charging and discharging. The ...
Phys.org / Physicists provide key mass data for determining X-ray burst reaction rate
A research team from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has directly measured the masses of two highly unstable atomic nuclei, phosphorus-26 and sulfur-27. These precise measurements ...
Medical Xpress / Rising temperatures linked to shorter, poorer sleep for US adults
Higher nighttime temperatures are linked to shorter sleep times and lower sleep quality, especially for people with chronic health conditions, lower socioeconomic status, or those living on the West Coast, according to a ...
Medical Xpress / From field to lab: Study reveals how people with vision loss judge approaching vehicles
Patricia DeLucia has spent decades studying something many of us never think about: judgments about collisions that are crucial for safety. But the roots of her research stretch back to her childhood, long before she became ...
Medical Xpress / America doesn't have enough hospital beds. This could help
Every day, across the nation, patients wait hours or days in emergency departments until a bed opens up for them in the hospital.
Tech Xplore / Light yet strong material inspired by egg whites can cool devices faster
A research team at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has developed a high-performance heat-dissipating composite material that achieves both eco-friendliness and low-cost processing.
Medical Xpress / Order of cancer-driving mutations affects the chance of tumor development, study shows
The order of cancer-driving mutations—genetic changes—plays an important role in whether tumors in the intestine can develop, new research reveals.
Phys.org / Extremely rare 'dinosaur mummy' makes its way to Minnesota for study
The fossil called "Medusa" could be a dinosaur mummy—the remains of an Edmontosaurus about 66 million years old that researchers believe contains a significant amount of skin and tendon tissue.
Phys.org / Astrobee: AI-guided robot navigates space station corridors with improved speed and safety
Stanford researchers have become the first to demonstrate that machine-learning control can safely guide a robot aboard the ISS, laying the groundwork for more autonomous space missions.
Phys.org / Subnational income inequality revealed: Regional successes may hold key to addressing widening gap globally
Income inequality is one of the most important measures of economic health, social justice and quality of life. More reliably trackable than wealth inequality, which was recently given a gloomy report card by the G20, income ...
Medical Xpress / Genetic testing reveals often-overlooked fungal infections in California clinics
A new study reveals that a rarely-diagnosed and frequently drug-resistant species, Aspergillus tubingensis, may be one of the most common causes of fungal infections in Southern California.
