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 ...
Phys.org / Long-range magnetic interactions govern how a ferrimagnet approaches its phase transition
Close to a phase transition, very different materials can follow the same mathematical rules. The concept of universality, which groups seemingly distinct systems based on their common properties, was developed to describe ...
Phys.org / Existing drug could treat invasive canine oral tumors
A benign but invasive canine oral cancer is often mistaken for a similar malignant one, leading to misdiagnoses in close to a third of cases. But a new diagnostic tool can now distinguish between the two, according to a new ...
Phys.org / An African bat overlooked for two centuries is confirmed in Europe
An African bat whose presence in Sicily had remained an unresolved zoological mystery for almost two centuries has now been documented on Pantelleria Island. A study published in Global Ecology and Conservation reports the ...
Phys.org / End-to-end design creates two low-cost materials to capture methane
Developing new materials to tackle pressing global issues is a gap-filled process that can leave potential climate solutions lost in unread academic papers and forgotten dissertations.
Phys.org / Molecular electromagnetic sensor may enable remote-controlled gene therapy
The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of living organisms contains regulatory elements that control when, where and to what extent specific genes are turned on or off. They can be co-opted to create "gene switches" that hold significant ...
Medical Xpress / Self-driving cars might not be safe for everyone, study says
You might want to steer clear of self-driving vehicles if you have a history of head injuries, a new study warns. Hockey players who'd suffered repeated concussions were slower to respond when a self-driving car faced a complex ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers are closer than ever to an AI-guided device to treat memory loss
In the late 1990s, a young Michael Kahana—then developing computer models of human memory—was invited to Harvard Medical School by a neurosurgeon friend to give grand rounds to the neurosurgery and neurology faculty. Afterward, ...
Phys.org / Brazil's vast coastline could help address food insecurity through sustainable seafood
New research into seafood consumption and production in Brazil highlights how one of the world's most populous countries could build healthier and more sustainable food systems by encouraging people to eat more seafood, developing ...
Phys.org / What comes after fire? What forests need to survive in a warming world
Jennifer Bhatnagar spent the summer of 2023 traversing barren hillsides blackened by wildfire in northern California. She walked through devastated properties, examined the hot soil beneath her feet, collected samples and ...
Phys.org / Observations since 1850 reveal regional climate fingerprints of human-induced warming
There is no question that the current global temperature increase is human-caused. Global warming has long since emerged as the dominant signal amid natural climate fluctuations. However, identifying how this warming manifests ...
Medical Xpress / Drugs developed in China reaching international markets, research finds
China has become an increasingly important contributor to pharmaceutical development, but comparatively little attention has been paid to how successfully medicines developed in China have entered major international markets.
