Phys.org / How do World Cup crowds get synchronized so quickly? Researchers explain
Some World Cup crowds are more in sync than others, but all have some common features, Northeastern experts say.
Phys.org / Bulk ferromagnetic quasicrystals emerge without rapid quenching, unlocking stable magnetic studies
Ferromagnetism has long been studied in a wide range of periodic crystals and amorphous materials. In quasicrystals (QCs), which possess long-range quasiperiodic order and unconventional rotational symmetries, such as 10-fold ...
Phys.org / New biobased polymers exhibit excellent tensile properties beyond polyolefins
The research group of Professor Kotohiro Nomura, Tokyo Metropolitan University, in cooperation with the research groups of Senior Researcher Hiroshi Hirano and Director Seiji Higashi of the Osaka Research Institute of Industrial ...
Tech Xplore / What social media creators can't say about their job
While researching her forthcoming book on the promises and perils of visibility in the content creator economy, Brooke Erin Duffy noticed a surprising pattern.
Medical Xpress / Reducing vehicle emissions could prevent thousands of deaths in Canada
A shift to cleaner transportation could prevent more than 3,600 premature deaths in Montreal and Toronto by reducing ultrafine particle pollution, a new study led by McGill researchers found.
Medical Xpress / Common mucus-clearing treatments don't help ICU patients breathe easier and may cause harm, clinical trial finds
For patients struggling to breathe because of acute respiratory failure, clearing mucus from the airways is a routine part of treatment. Mucoactive agents are widely used for this purpose. But after years of clinical use, ...
Phys.org / Study explores social media's role in tornado disaster communication
When a powerful EF-4 tornado tore through Rolling Fork, Mississippi, on March 24, 2023, social media became a critical tool for sharing weather warnings, damage reports and recovery information. But a new study from University ...
Tech Xplore / Sand could be key to safer, stronger structures
Engineers have been working for centuries to protect buildings, bridges and other structures from damage caused by severe weather and natural hazards, but one of the best methods may begin with sand, according to a newly ...
Phys.org / Watching how molecules change shape in slow motion could inform future molecular machines
Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) at Kanazawa University, the Institute for Molecular Science and SOKENDAI have uncovered the hidden mechanism behind a molecular switch—a molecule that can change ...
Phys.org / Large language model guides discovery of catalysts for clean energy tech
Designing high-performance catalysts is essential for cleaner energy technologies, but the behavior of multi-element modern catalyst materials is difficult to predict. In a new study, researchers at Tohoku University with ...
Phys.org / Think that fishes and amphibians don't have necks? Think again
New research is redefining the morphological and functional existence of anatomical "neck" regions to better include previously exempted vertebrates such as fishes and amphibians, changing the status quo of what it means ...
Medical Xpress / Australian cancer trials are getting worse at reporting sex differences, putting patients at risk
Women with cancer may not have the same chance of cure or quality of life as men—yet fewer than 2% of Australian cancer clinical trials report results separately for men and women. Women are also more likely to experience ...
