Phys.org / MeerKAT reveals three electron acceleration sites in one solar flare
Solar flares are the most explosive energy-release events in the solar corona, leading to intense particle acceleration, plasma heating and bulk plasma motions on short timescales. Core questions during solar flares remain ...
Tech Xplore / Self-testing quantum chip generates certified random numbers while checking its hardware in real time
Randomness forms a crucial backbone of modern society, where every encryption key, secure transaction and digital signature depends on random numbers that no adversary can predict. But every random number generator ever deployed, ...
Medical Xpress / Disrupted metabolism linked to heart failure
When heart cells burn fat without normal metabolic controls, they can deplete a lipid needed to keep mitochondria functioning properly, according to a study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers. The findings, published ...
Medical Xpress / More steps are linked to more healthful rest for college students, research shows
University students who aren't always enthused about walking across campus for class can take heart in new research that suggests lots of daily steps translate to improved mental health and better sleep.
Phys.org / Quantum memory surpasses classical limits for storing unknown quantum operations
Quantum memories, systems that store and retrieve information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, can outperform classical storage systems on some existing tasks. Yet these promising memories could also complete operations ...
Medical Xpress / Celiac risk may begin with weaker helper T cells, not just overactive immunity
New research from the Snow Center for Immune Health is challenging long-held assumptions about autoimmune disease, revealing that celiac disease may be driven not just by an overactive immune system, but by subtle defects ...
Phys.org / Wild bird eggs reveal pollutants' environmental footprints
Monitoring the eggs of wild birds like the bearded vulture and the imperial eagle over a decade reveals the accumulation and persistence of environmental pollutants in ecosystems. At first glance, a wild bird's egg represents ...
Phys.org / Iberian DNA remained largely unchanged for six centuries before Roman influence, study finds
A study led by a UAB research team of Biological Anthropology has analyzed the genome of 54 newborns with the aim of tracking the genetic history of their culture since it developed in the Early Iron Age until the start of ...
Medical Xpress / Promotora-led health program shows promise for rural Latina women
A culturally adapted health and lifestyle program, ¡Coma, Muévase y Viva! ("Eat, Move, and Live!"), showed promising results in helping low-income Latina and Indigenous Mexican women in rural Inland Southern California make ...
Phys.org / How climate shapes the meanings of words across languages
When English speakers say "rose" and Chinese speakers say "玫瑰," do they mean the same thing? A Peking University team led by Professor Bi Yanchao explored this question using word embeddings from 53 languages, behavioral ...
Phys.org / Real-time data assimilation system outperforms flood early warning system
Researchers at the Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo (UTokyo-IIS), have developed a real-time data assimilation system that substantially improves streamflow and flood forecasting accuracy across Japan. ...
Medical Xpress / Healthy pancreas shows layered ducts and rare cells tied to aggressive tumors
Scientists at the Free University of Brussels (VUB) have taken a major step forward in pancreatic cancer research. By mapping a healthy pancreas in detail down to the cellular level, they discovered that specific, rare cells ...
