Phys.org / Overcoming symmetry limits in photovoltaics through surface engineering
A recent study carried out by researchers from EHU, the Materials Physics Center, nanoGUNE, and DIPC introduces a novel approach to solar energy conversion and spintronics. The work tackles a long-standing limitation in the ...
Phys.org / Frequency comb lasers enable clearer observation of black holes
Radio telescopes are instruments that capture faint radio signals from space and convert them into images of celestial bodies. To observe distant black holes clearly, multiple radio telescopes must capture cosmic signals ...
Phys.org / Large parts of the tropics overlooked in environmental research, study says
Environmental research in the tropics is heavily skewed, according to a comprehensive study led by Umeå University. Humid lowland forest ecosystems receive a disproportionate amount of attention, while colder and drier regions ...
Tech Xplore / Novel thick electrode enhances battery power and capacity for a 75% increase in output
A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a new type of thick electrode aimed at solving a common challenge in battery design: As the capacity increases, power often decreases. This breakthrough could enable electric ...
Phys.org / How cells stay healthy: New insights into a selective protein cleanup system
To stay healthy, our cells rely on a self-cleaning mechanism that removes defective or unnecessary components. This process, known as autophagy, has been linked not only to cellular maintenance but also to various diseases ...
Medical Xpress / Reprogrammed skin cells shed light on HIV-related cognitive impairment
Using participant skin cells reprogrammed into neurons, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have identified genetic signatures associated with HIV infection that may contribute to the cognitive impairment that often occurs ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers survey the ADHD coaching boom
More people with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are turning to coaches for guidance. Those coaches, who often have ADHD themselves, offer similar services to psychologists but don't think of their work as ...
Phys.org / Rethinking climate impacts through human well-being
A new study by IIASA researchers offers a pioneering way to understand how climate change affects people's lives over the long term. Using a global model and the Years of Good Life (YoGL) metric, the research shows that today's ...
Medical Xpress / Discovery reveals how keto diet can prevent seizures when drugs fail
University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have revealed how the popular, low-carb ketogenic diet protects against epilepsy seizures and possibly neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Phys.org / Monitoring beer fermentation at the single-cell level with a novel Raman method
Breweries typically monitor fermentation by analyzing broth composition. Alcohols, esters, acids and residual sugars are quantified via chromatography-based assays. While reliable, these tests are time-consuming and only ...
Phys.org / How gender bias influences math education
Young children are more inclined to believe incorrect math information from men than accurate information from women, according to a Rutgers University–New Brunswick study published in the journal Developmental Science.
Phys.org / Earth system models overestimate river flow increases, research reveals
Understanding how water moves through the Earth system is fundamental to predicting climate impacts and ensuring sustainable water management. Yet despite decades of research, uncertainties persist regarding how global precipitation ...
