Phys.org / Graphene device measures fractional electric charges carried by some of quantum physics' strangest objects
An electron is supposed to be indivisible. It carries one fundamental unit of electric charge, and every electron is exactly the same. But under extreme conditions, large numbers of electrons act together and give rise to ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden immune environment uncovered in thymuses of myasthenia gravis patients
Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered a previously hidden immune environment in the thymus that may help drive myasthenia gravis (MG), a chronic autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness and fatigue, mainly ...
Phys.org / It's not just flowers that help the pollinators. Grass can too.
Bees may be relying on your lawn for their next meal, according to a new study from the University of Georgia.
Phys.org / New X-ray imaging technique could double scanning efficiency while revealing hidden detail
Researchers at Monash University have developed a new X-ray imaging technique that can image two overlapping samples at the same time, potentially doubling scanning efficiency while opening new possibilities for industrial ...
Phys.org / Study finds some microbes drastically change behavior outside the lab
A new study underscores the importance of studying microbes in their natural setting rather than relying solely on laboratory research. Researchers found that a set of corn root bacteria behaved completely differently when ...
Phys.org / Red blood cells inspire next-generation therapeutic nanocarriers
Red blood cells serve as the foundation for nanocarriers that show promise in a new study as effective and efficient vehicles for gene therapy, tumor targeting and other medical treatments. Scientists at The Ohio State University ...
Phys.org / Trace elements offer new clues to mysterious black eye lesions in cats
A distinctive black or dark brown lesion that appears on the eyes of some cats has long puzzled veterinarians. Now, researchers have identified two elements that may help explain what is happening inside the affected cornea.
Phys.org / TikTok video leads to discovery of rare underground eel in India
Researchers have discovered a new genus and species of underground earthworm eel living beneath the Indo-Gangetic Plain in Bihar, northern India. The small, colorless creature, named Gangaichthys indonepalicus, is the first ...
Medical Xpress / Huntington's disease discovery opens door to a new class of treatments
New treatments for Huntington's disease could be on the horizon following research led by scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).
Tech Xplore / Engineers make edge AI more efficient by redesigning both algorithm and hardware
Researchers in the Riccio College of Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have demonstrated that redesigning both hardware and algorithms can make AI applications on edge devices more efficient. As proof ...
Phys.org / Time-gating technique sees through deep tissue, dense fog, and other obstacles
From helping doctors detect cancer to guiding self-driving cars through traffic, many modern imaging systems rely on near-infrared light, producing a crisp picture when visible light would scatter and yield a blurry picture. ...
Phys.org / Anomalous quantum oscillations reveal new physics in a topological insulator
A study has been published in Nature Communications that identifies an unusual regime of quantum oscillations in a three-dimensional topological insulator. The results show that, when subjected to temperatures near absolute ...
