Phys.org / Two materials, one photonic chip: Unlocking a new way to generate light frequencies
Modern photonic chips can pack sophisticated optical functions onto devices smaller than a fingernail. They are increasingly used to generate, manipulate and measure light for applications ranging from communications to sensing. ...
Medical Xpress / No evidence that continuous glucose monitors improve health in people without diabetes
Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) were originally developed for people with type 1 diabetes and are now widely used by many people with type 2 diabetes. In recent years, the technology has become an increasingly popular ...
Phys.org / Astronomers catch massive star's death from the first explosive moment
In March 2026, the Einstein Probe detected a brief flash of soft X-rays emitted from a galaxy about 500 million light-years away. The flash, dubbed EP260321a, immediately triggered a worldwide observing campaign. Within an ...
Medical Xpress / Why a UTI hurts—and why that might be a good thing
Australian researchers have discovered a previously overlooked group of bladder nerves that help detect urinary tract infections (UTIs) and trigger the body's response to clear them, providing a potential new target for future ...
Tech Xplore / Selective microwave heating speeds bamboo-to-hydrogen fuel conversion
Researchers at Kyushu University have shown that microwave (MW) radiation can dramatically speed the conversion of biomass into useful gases by creating localized high-temperature regions on nickel nanoparticles. Using advanced ...
Medical Xpress / Aberrant protein activity rewires lymphoma cells to survive BTK inhibitors, offering target for treatment resistance
A protein that can dial down oxidative stress in cells helps some cancers resist treatment with a widely used class of drugs called BTK inhibitors, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine. The ...
Phys.org / Mapping the upper atmosphere with public Starlink satellite data
The space around Earth is becoming increasingly crowded, with thousands of satellites and pieces of debris now sharing low Earth orbit. Even above this region—at altitudes of several hundred kilometers—the extremely thin ...
Medical Xpress / New therapy eliminates gum disease bacterium while preserving beneficial oral microbes
Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have created an innovative treatment for periodontitis that targets and eliminates harmful bacteria while preserving beneficial oral microbes essential for health. The findings were ...
Phys.org / Do aging microplastics increase environmental risks from organic contaminants? Study suggests less than expected
Researchers find that soil aging of polyethylene microplastics has only a limited effect on their interactions with organic contaminants. Scientists have long worried that aging microplastics in soil could become increasingly ...
Tech Xplore / Self-repairing, recyclable substrate developed for durable soft sensors
Soft sensors convert movement, temperature and moisture into electrical signals. Repeated bending and friction can cause their metal conductors to peel from the underlying polymer, while physical damage, such as cuts, can ...
Phys.org / Pushing the boundaries of ultracold neutral plasmas
Using a combination of laser cooling techniques and strong magnetic fields, researchers at Colorado State University have for the first time created an ultracold neutral plasma with electrons cooled to temperatures measured ...
Phys.org / Field trials support oil-rich sorghum as a potential sustainable aviation fuel feedstock
In a new study by the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI), researchers evaluated oil sorghum lines in Nebraska and Illinois over two years to quantify genotype-by-environment effects on agronomic ...
