Phys.org / Scientists create world's most amazingly difficult maze with future potential to boost carbon capture
In new research, physicists have wielded the power of chess to design a group of intricate mazes, which could ultimately be used to tackle some of the world's most pressing challenges.
Phys.org / Infrared glow high in Jupiter's atmosphere may be dark matter particles colliding
A pair of astrophysicists with Princeton University and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory found possible evidence of dark matter particles colliding. In their study, published in Physical Review Letters, Carlos Blanco ...
Phys.org / Scientists crack new method for high-capacity, secure quantum communication
Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in creating a new method for transmitting quantum information using particles of light called qudits. These qudits promise a future quantum internet that is both secure and ...
Phys.org / Study reveals fireworks' impact on air quality
As Independence Day approaches, Utahns are preparing to celebrate the nation's birth with dazzling displays of light and color. However, a new BYU study published in Applied Geochemistry warns that these festivities come ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists develop new electrolytes for low-temperature lithium metal batteries
Electric vehicles, large-scale energy storage, polar research and deep space exploration all have placed higher demands on the energy density and low-temperature performance of energy storage batteries. In recent years, lithium ...
Phys.org / Study: More complaints, worse performance when AI monitors employees
Organizations using AI to monitor employees' behavior and productivity can expect them to complain more, be less productive and want to quit more—unless the technology can be framed as supporting their development, Cornell ...
Phys.org / Small change in Earth's oxygen levels may have sparked huge evolutionary leap
New research provides the clearest evidence yet that the Cambrian explosion—a rapid burst of evolution 540 million years ago, could have been triggered by only a small increase in oxygen levels in Earth's atmosphere and ...
Phys.org / New AI program helps identify elusive space plasmoids
In an ongoing game of cosmic hide and seek, scientists have a new tool that may give them an edge. Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have developed a computer program ...
Phys.org / New imaging technique uses Earth's warped surface to reveal rocky interior
Surface mapping technology such as GPS, radar and laser scanning have long been used to measure features on the Earth's surface. Now, a new computational technique developed at The University of Texas at Austin is allowing ...
Phys.org / NASA's Webb captures celestial fireworks around forming star
The cosmos seems to come alive with a crackling explosion of pyrotechnics in this new image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Taken with Webb's MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument), this fiery hourglass marks the scene of ...
Phys.org / New understanding of a common plant enzyme could lead to better crop management
New findings about chitinases, enzymes found naturally in plants, could allow farmers to address fungal infections sooner and more efficiently.
Medical Xpress / Study discovers connection between between heart and brain in KBG syndrome
A new study sheds light on a medical question scientists have long wondered: why do 40% of children with the rare neurodevelopmental disorder KBG syndrome have heart defects? The research now points to a critical link between ...
