A long-held view is that compulsive behaviors involve individuals getting stuck in a "habit loop" that overrides self-control, but new research in rats from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) suggests this might not ...
Phys.org / Controlling exciton flow in moiré superlattices: New method leverages correlated electrons
Excitons are pairs of bound negatively charged electrons and positively charged holes that form in semiconductors, enabling the transport of energy in electronic devices. These pairs of charge carriers also emerge in transition ...
Phys.org / Scientists boost mitochondria to burn more calories
Researchers have developed experimental drugs that encourage the mitochondria in our cells to work a little harder and burn more calories. The findings could open the door to new treatments for obesity and improve metabolic ...

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections are still fairly common and an estimated 40 million people worldwide are currently living with this condition. The HIV virus attacks the body's immune system and thus makes those ...
Phys.org / SN 2022ngb is a faint and slow-evolving Type IIb supernova, observations reveal
An international team of astronomers has conducted optical and near-infrared observations of a supernova designated SN 2022ngb. As a result, it was found that SN 2022ngb is a faint and slow-evolving Type IIb supernova with ...
Tech Xplore / How ChatGPT could change the face of advertising, without you even knowing about it
Online adverts are sometimes so personal that they feel eerie. Even as a researcher in this area, I'm slightly startled when I get a message asking if my son still needs school shirts a few hours after browsing for clothes ...
Tech Xplore / Ionic liquids slow perovskite degradation: Solar cells retain 90% performance at 90°C
Solar cells, devices that can generate electricity from sunlight, are already helping to reduce fossil fuel emissions in many countries worldwide. In recent years, energy engineers have been assessing the potential of materials ...
Medical Xpress / How stomach cancer learns to grow on its own
Gastric (stomach) cancer remains one of the most common and deadly cancers in East Asia, including Korea. Yet despite its high prevalence, it has received far less molecular attention than colorectal cancer, which is more ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds a better way to screen for breast cancer
A pioneering study has found that an individualized approach to breast cancer screening that assesses patients' risk, rather than annual mammograms, can lower the chance of more advanced cancers, while still safely match ...
