Phys.org / Under or over? Automated technique can visualize and measure DNA tangles
At school, it's often presented as a tidy double helix but scientists are revealing the varied and intricate shapes of DNA molecules.

Phys.org / New measurement station in Brazil: Quantum technology expands global network in search for dark matter
A highly sensitive quantum sensor from Jena has traveled nearly 9,000 kilometers: by truck to Hamburg, by ship across the Atlantic, and finally overland to Vassouras, Brazil.

Phys.org / RE1 proteins emerge as key players for amino acid transport in plants
Plants produce all the amino acids essential for human life. This commonly occurs in specialized cell organelles, so-called plastids. A research team headed by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) has now decoded the ...

Tech Xplore / Reinventing industry: Carbon capture technologies lead the charge against climate change
Researchers are testing a new method of capturing CO2 from energy-intensive industries and converting it into valuable chemicals and fuels.

Phys.org / Measuring a previously mysterious imaginary component of wave scattering
There has long been a mystery when calculating how an incoming light wave scatters off an object and becomes a modified, outgoing light wave. In particular, the time delay of the transition from one to the other comes out ...

Tech Xplore / 200 Gbps 6G wireless link successfully demonstrated
Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) has successfully demonstrated a 200 Gbps 6G wireless link using a proof-of-concept (PoC) system developed late last year. The 6G system developed by ETRI uses an ...

Phys.org / Only 37% of US states require sexual education in schools to be medically accurate
While the majority of states require public school students to take at least one sexual education course, a patchwork of state-level provisions that mandate inaccurate, outdated, or politically motivated curricula may inhibit ...

Phys.org / What happened before the Big Bang? Computational method may provide answers
We're often told it is "unscientific" or "meaningless" to ask what happened before the Big Bang. But a new paper by FQxI cosmologist Eugene Lim, of King's College London, UK, and astrophysicists Katy Clough, of Queen Mary ...

Phys.org / Calcium tests in poultry offer chance for improved feed efficiency
One percentage point of feed conversion loss in large-scale poultry production can cause millions in lost revenue, so even small improvements — like fine-tuning a single nutrient in feed — can make a big difference.

Medical Xpress / Yogurt and hot spring bathing show a promising combination for gut health
Researchers at Kyushu University have demonstrated that yogurt intake increases the diversity of gut microbiota and alters its composition. Furthermore, bathing in chloride hot springs after yogurt intake was found to improve ...

Medical Xpress / Rethinking phototherapy: Why skin color matters for infant jaundice
Jaundice is one of the most common medical issues in newborns, affecting nearly 80% of full-term infants in their first days of life. The condition occurs when excess bilirubin, a yellow pigment formed as red blood cells ...

Phys.org / Pollinators in the city: Europe-wide synthesis evidences the relevance of biodiversity-friendly urban management
Pollinators receive considerable interest due to their fundamental role in ecosystem functioning and human well-being. Unlike farmlands, studies of urban pollinator-promoting interventions have only started to grow rapidly ...
