Phys.org / Novel measurement confirms a 50-year-old prediction: Dark points are faster than light
A research group from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology reports in Nature an unprecedented achievement in electron microscopy: the direct measurement of "dark points" within light waves. By doing so, the researchers ...
Phys.org / From engineered fungal molecules to drug leads, chem-bio hybrid synthesis enables antiparasitic drug discovery
Amebiasis is a parasitic disease caused by the microscopic protozoan Entamoeba histolytica. Infection occurs through the ingestion of cysts from contaminated water or food. Worldwide, approximately 50 million symptomatic ...
Phys.org / Israel's 'Stonehenge' no longer stands alone: Satellite technology opens archaeological frontiers
For decades, the massive stone circles of Rujm el-Hiri in the Golan Heights were considered a singular, mysterious anomaly—often dubbed "Israel's Stonehenge." However, new research led by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev ...
Phys.org / Fieldoscopy reveals femtosecond optical switching in 15 nm indium tin oxide nanocrystals
Just as an antenna interacts with radio waves, light interacts with metallic nanostructures. Therefore, understanding how a structure influences field oscillations provides valuable insights into the structure's physical ...
Phys.org / Tale of the lava heron: Student describes new Galapagos species
The Galapagos Islands are famous for the discoveries that shaped Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Now an SFSU graduate has added one more: Ezra Mendales (M.S., '23) describes a new species as part of his master's thesis. ...
Medical Xpress / Hospital delirium linked to later dementia risk in healthy adults
Older adults who develop delirium during a hospital admission face a substantially higher risk of dementia in later years, even if they had no prior health conditions, according to a major new population study appearing in ...
Phys.org / Flowers have a 'biological clock' that times blooming and scent to match insects
Morning-blooming morning glories and flowers that release fragrance at night seem as if they know the time. A KAIST research team has uncovered, at the molecular level, the workings of a "biological clock" aligned with insect ...
Medical Xpress / New study uncovers mechanism explaining how obesity increases cancer risk
Scientists at City of Hope and TGen (part of City of Hope) are the first to explain a major mechanism for why gaining excess weight increases your risk of cancer. City of Hope is one of the largest and most advanced cancer ...
Phys.org / Experimental evidence shows how photons spread across multiple paths in an interferometer
The nature of quantum particles has long puzzled scientists. While single-particle interference suggests that a photon can behave like a spread-out wave, a whole photon is only ever detected in one specific place. Traditional ...
Phys.org / 'Drive‑off' fuel thefts cost millions even before the war—and they're heading up
With petrol and diesel prices soaring, we're hearing more reports of alleged fuel thefts from petrol stations, farms, trucks and even parked cars. The Australasian Convenience and Petroleum Marketers Association's chief executive ...
Phys.org / Tiny LED design could power next-generation technology
From 3D movie screens to augmented-reality devices, many modern technologies rely on our ability to manipulate light. Doing so in a cost-effective and efficient way, however, is often a formidable task. In an article published ...
Phys.org / Gabon battles for baby sea turtles' survival
Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, newly hatched sea turtles emerged on a Gabonese beach to embark on the treacherous 10-meter (33-foot) scramble across the sand to the ocean.
