Phys.org / Physicists bridge worlds of quantum matter
A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single exotic particle behaves in a many-body system, namely as a mobile or static impurity among a large ...
Medical Xpress / A closer look at how local protein production is altered in ALS
The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of proteins. Proteins are synthesized both inside cells (i.e., in the soma) and locally along axons, projections ...
Medical Xpress / Physical therapy research highlights the toll of arthritis on the workforce, as well as the path forward
According to new research from the University of Delaware, nearly 40% of American adults ages 18 to 64 with arthritis—almost 10 million people—say the medical condition is limiting their ability to work.
Phys.org / Sweet signals: Tracking crucial cell messengers for the first time
Complex sugar-protein molecules that sense external messages to help a cell grow or respond to its environment can now be tracked and analyzed, using a Nobel Prize-winning chemistry technique.
Medical Xpress / Multiple unexpected chemical contaminants exist in human milk, though at low concentrations
An interdisciplinary team including researchers at McGill University has found a range of unexpected chemical contaminants in human milk samples from Canada and South Africa. The chemicals include traces of pesticides, antimicrobials ...
Phys.org / Global inequality in parks undercuts the 'suburban dream,' suggests research
Huge inequality between inner-city and suburban parks across the world could be threatening well-being globally, suggests a study from King's College London and Nokia Bell Labs.
Tech Xplore / Emerging solar cell material sets new efficiency record
UNSW engineers have made a major step forward in the development of a new type of solar cell that could help make future solar panels cheaper, more efficient and more durable.
Phys.org / New method reveals quantum states using indirect measurements of particle flows
A team from UNIGE shows that it is possible to determine the state of a quantum system from indirect measurements when it is coupled to its environment.
Medical Xpress / Cancer patients warned popular supplement may interfere with treatment
For many cancer patients, hair loss is one of the most distressing side effects of their therapy. Increasingly, they have been taking oral supplements of biotin, which are marketed to consumers for their potential to improve ...
Medical Xpress / VO2 max: What the gold standard metric for fitness means for longevity
VO2 max, the measure of how much oxygen the body consumes during exercise, has become a ubiquitous tool for professional athletes, but health experts increasingly say it's a measurement worthy of every exerciser's attention.
Tech Xplore / AI models tested on Dungeons & Dragons to assess long-term decision-making
Large Language Models, like ChatGPT, are learning to play Dungeons & Dragons. The reason? Simulating and playing the popular tabletop role-playing game provides a good testing ground for AI agents that need to function independently ...
Phys.org / The future of Antarctic life: Scientists map out five scenarios as climate and human pressures mount
A team of scientists has overcome a major challenge in predicting how Antarctic life will fare under future climate scenarios, revealing five scenarios for the future of Antarctic life.
