Phys.org / Quantum simulator reveals statistical localization that keeps most qubit states frozen
In the everyday world, governed by classical physics, the concept of equilibrium reigns. If you put a drop of ink into water, it will eventually evenly mix. If you put a glass of ice water on the kitchen table, it will eventually ...
Phys.org / New durable hybrid materials enable faster radiation detection
Researchers at the University of Oklahoma have developed new hybrid materials that challenge conventional thinking about how light-emitting compounds work and could advance the field of fast radiation detection. The research, ...
Medical Xpress / Stopping fatal blood loss with clay
Traumatic injury is the third leading cause of death in the state of Texas, surpassing strokes, Alzheimer's disease and diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A massive number of these deaths ...
Phys.org / New study identifies sequence of critical thresholds for Antarctic ice basins
The Antarctic ice sheet does not behave as one single tipping element, but as a set of interacting basins with different critical thresholds. This is the finding of a new study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact ...
Phys.org / Mantle plume vs. plate tectonics: Basalt cores reshape the North Atlantic breakup debate
About 56 million years ago, Europe and North America began pulling apart to form what became the ever-expanding North Atlantic Ocean. Vast amounts of molten rock from Earth's mantle reached the ocean floor as the crust stretched ...
Phys.org / Chiral myosin steers actin into stable rotating rings without a template, study finds
Living cells are highly organized, yet they are not assembled using rigid blueprints or by following a predetermined plan. Instead, order emerges on its own from countless interactions between molecules that are constantly ...
Phys.org / Trapping a single protein in a molecular cage: A new path to drug discovery for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Proteins often function in pairs or groups, concealing their internal connection points and making it difficult for scientists to study their individual units without altering their natural structure. In a study published ...
Medical Xpress / Existing hospital analyzers offer a low-cost method to screen for fake vaccines
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 10.5% of medicines worldwide in low- and middle-income countries are substandard or are falsified (i.e., fake). These medicines and vaccines fail to prevent and treat the ...
Phys.org / Identifying priority Southern Ocean conservation hotspots
New research shows that maintaining and adopting proposed marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Southern Ocean could almost double the protection of genetic hotspots from 28% to about 54%. These actions would stave off an ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop RNA-activated implant to stimulate nerve regrowth after spinal cord injury
Researchers from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have developed a novel implant that delivers tiny growth-promoting particles directly to injured nerve cells, helping them to regrow after spinal cord injury. ...
Phys.org / The Princess of Bagicz: Dendrochronology settles debate over age of rare Roman-era wooden coffin
Dr. Marta Chmiel-Chrzanowska and her colleagues conducted a multidisciplinary analysis of the only known preserved wooden coffin from the Roman Iron Age, the Princess of Bagicz. The study, published in Archaeometry, used ...
Phys.org / Araish spiral galaxy observations uncover a 26,700-light-year radio jet
An international team of astronomers has performed multi-wavelength observations of the nearby Araish galaxy to investigate the origin of its radio emission. As a result, they detected an extended radio jet of this galaxy. ...
