Phys.org / Are JWST's early, overmassive black holes just normal-range outliers?
Ever since the JWST revealed a population of SMBH in the early universe that were overmassive, scientists have been working hard to explain them. These black holes existed when the universe was only about 2 billion years ...
Phys.org / Predictive surrogates could cut quantum computing measurement overhead by more than 99.97%
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential of outperforming classical computers on some tasks. Despite their potential, the use of these systems remains very ...
Medical Xpress / Injectable hydrogel relieves osteoarthritis pain and repairs cartilage in preclinical tests
For millions of people living with osteoarthritis, daily life can involve a frustrating cycle of pain and stiffness. While current treatments like over-the-counter medications or steroid injections can temporarily dull the ...
Phys.org / World's largest scorpion revealed by 415-million-year-old fossils
Fossil fragments found in the U.K. have been identified as remains of the largest scorpions ever. Measuring more than a meter in length, Praearcturus gigas was among the first large predators to ever stalk the land.
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 ...
Medical Xpress / Autism may have two distinct subtypes based on brain connectivity patterns
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), commonly referred to as autism, is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in social interactions, communication, behavior and the processing of sensory stimuli. Notably, ...
Medical Xpress / New post-liver transplant protocol results in 0% heavy alcohol relapse rate
In a study published in the Liver Transplantation journal, Mayo Clinic researchers have found that a new proactive treatment protocol for alcohol use disorder after liver transplant resulted in a 0% heavy alcohol relapse ...
Phys.org / Terahertz biophotonics: Understanding the path towards practical applications for biological imaging
Biophotonics is a multidisciplinary field that involves the development and application of light-based technologies to study, monitor and treat biological systems. The ability to directly image cells and molecules has led ...
Medical Xpress / Fasting after 60 changes more than waistlines, exposing a trade-off many dieters never see coming
Most folks know intermittent fasting helps with weight loss, usually by limiting your daily eating window or cutting calories a couple of times a week. But does your age change how well this works for you—and might there ...
Phys.org / First nonrepeating biological clock discovered in C. elegans guides growth
Imagine a train parked at the station. Passengers climb aboard and find their seats. Conductors move up and down the aisles, checking tickets. But there's a problem—the engineer's watch is broken. As a result, the doors never ...
Science X / Sea-level rise may be even worse than expected thanks to hidden Earth physics
As the global temperature increases, Earth's oceans are experiencing a huge shift. In addition to commonly known effects, such as melting of ice caps and thermal expansion, there is an invisible factor that influences ocean ...
Phys.org / Volcanic eruptions linked to rising famine risk across China's history
Large volcanic eruptions may have played a bigger role in triggering historical famines across China than previously understood, according to a new study that traced links between eruptions, climate disruption, and food shortages ...
