Medical Xpress / Addressing ACL injuries in women: Expert explains prevention and treatment
No one wants to hear the distinctive pop of an ACL tearing or rupturing, which typically means the player's season is at an end. The ACL, or anterior cruciate ligament, is located inside the knee and provides stability during ...
Phys.org / Quantum shell structure reveals new rule for proton-neutron pairing inside nuclei
Nuclear physicists used a little magic in their latest experiment conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, and the result has revealed surprising new information about the ...
Tech Xplore / New app lets anyone operate a robot from their phone
Someone with no computing experience may soon be able to remotely control a robot from anywhere on the planet using a smartphone, thanks to new technology developed by Georgia Tech. The new technology is also set to revolutionize ...
Phys.org / Stonehenge Altar Stone's epic transportation across ancient Britain detailed in new study
New research by Curtin University has revealed how one of Stonehenge's most mysterious stones was likely transported hundreds of kilometers across Britain through challenging terrain, highlighting the remarkable capabilities ...
Phys.org / New gold-palladium catalysis mechanism could advance bio-based chemical manufacturing
The building‐block chemicals behind everyday products—like shampoo bottles, food containers, and kitchen spatulas—are largely derived from oil. Researchers are now working to replace those fossil‐fuel‐based inputs with materials ...
Phys.org / Milky Way black hole's missing wind finally found after a half-century-long search
The hunt is over. After more than 50 years of searching, astrophysicists at Northwestern University have finally discovered evidence of a powerful wind blowing from the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole, Sagittarius ...
Phys.org / How tuning atomic order and surface chemistry can shape MXenes
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are helping show what it means to design a material almost atom-by-atom. In two publications, scientists show they can carefully choose the types ...
Tech Xplore / Carbon ratios in concrete can improve carbon accounting
For the first time, researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, have found out how to determine how much carbon dioxide (CO2) from either natural or anthropogenic sources can be absorbed by special concrete ...
Medical Xpress / Heart rhythm monitoring with a smartphone could save health care resources
Smartphone-based heart rhythm monitoring from home can reduce same-day cancellations and help save significant health care resources ahead of planned electrical cardioversion in patients with atrial fibrillation. This is ...
Phys.org / Warming unlocks ancient carbon in Tibetan permafrost, triggering climate tipping point
A new study in Nature Communications finds a critical climate tipping point in Tibetan permafrost ecosystems. Warming of 2–4 degrees Celsius triggers a self-reinforcing cycle of carbon release that could significantly accelerate ...
Science X / Diet may tune learning and memory, from baby's first bite to Grandpa's dinner plate
For centuries, people have been trying to assess if what we eat can make us smarter. Ancient declarations and modern superfood trends have given rise to the belief that foods can enhance brainpower. But beyond the tales and ...
Phys.org / ExoMars rover targets vast bed of clay in search for life
In the region where the ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover will search for signs of life, clay deposits extend beyond previous estimates, a new study finds. One hypothesis even suggests a vast ocean once covered the landing ...
