Phys.org / Microplastics in oceans may distort carbon cycle understanding
The carbon cycle in our oceans is critical to the balance of life in ocean waters and for reducing carbon in the atmosphere, a significant process to curbing climate change or global warming.
Phys.org / Extreme engineering: Unlocking design secrets of deep-sea microbes
The microbe Pyrodictium abyssi is an archaeon—a member of what's known as the third domain of life—and an extremophile. It lives in deep-sea thermal vents, at temperatures above the boiling point of water, without light ...
Phys.org / Shaping quantum light unlocks new possibilities for future technologies
Researchers from the School of Physics at Wits University, working with collaborators from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, have demonstrated how quantum light can be engineered in space and time to create high-dimensional ...
Medical Xpress / Loss of brain protein eases Alzheimer's symptoms and brain damage in mice
New research published in the journal eNeuro examined whether eliminating a protein that is elevated in the brains of those with Alzheimer's could prevent or reduce damage and behavioral symptoms in a mouse model of Alzheimer's ...
Phys.org / Chameleon-like nanomaterial can adapt its color to mechanical strain
Inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami, a team of scientists from the University of Amsterdam have developed a material that can reflect different colors of light, depending on how it is stretched. The results were recently ...
Phys.org / The hexatic phase: Ultra-thin 2D materials in a state between solid and liquid observed for the first time
When ice melts into water, it happens quickly, with the transition from solid to liquid being immediate. However, very thin materials do not adhere to these rules. Instead, an unusual state between solid and liquid arises: ...
Tech Xplore / Ceramic electrochemical cell production temperature drops by over 500°C with new method
As power demand surges in the AI era, the protonic ceramic electrochemical cell (PCEC), which can simultaneously produce electricity and hydrogen, is gaining attention as a next-generation energy technology. However, this ...
Medical Xpress / H5N8 avian influenza vaccine produces robust immune responses, new study finds
Finland was the first country to offer the zoonotic avian influenza A(H5N8) vaccine manufactured by Seqirus to at-risk occupational groups following the extensive clade 2.3.4.4b A(H5N1) outbreak affecting wild birds and fur ...
Tech Xplore / New haptic display technology creates 3D graphics you can see and feel
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have invented a display technology for on-screen graphics that are both visible and haptic, meaning that they can be felt via touch.
Medical Xpress / Dance effective in fighting against cognitive decline in Parkinson's, study finds
A new study led by researchers at York University shows that dance can be beneficial in halting the cognitive decline associated with Parkinson's disease and, for some participants, they even showed signs of improvement. ...
Tech Xplore / Puerto Rico case study provides better way to plan for energy transitions
A new article published in Nature Communications offers insight into how government planners can better account for the many uncertainties that accompany the transition from fossil-fuel power systems to renewable or decarbonized ...
Tech Xplore / Iron-on electronic patches enable easy integration of circuits into fabrics
Iron-on patches can repair clothing or add personal flair to backpacks and hats. And now they could power wearable tech, too. Researchers reporting in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces have combined liquid metal and a heat-activated ...
