Tech Xplore / Tabletop 3D printer cuts semiconductor 3D patterning from days to minutes
Faculty in the Cockrell School of Engineering have developed a rare printer as part of a larger project to speed up production and lower costs of manufacturing semiconductors critical to modern electronics.
Phys.org / Tardigrades reveal extreme heat-blocking survival trick while in tun state
Tardigrades, also known as water bears or moss piglets, are tiny eight-legged animals that can survive in extreme environments, where humans and most other animals would die. This resistance to extreme conditions, including ...
Medical Xpress / Why some chikungunya virus infections may turn chronic
Chikungunya virus, which is transmitted to people by infected Aedes mosquitoes and characterized by high fever and intense joint swelling and pain, has made a resurgence in many countries around the world in recent years.
Tech Xplore / AI generates full battery electrolyte recipes, matching top lithium metal battery performance
Battery electrolytes aren't just one chemical, but a complex mixture of salts, solvents, and additives interacting and reacting with each other. Artificial intelligence has made great headway in helping select ideal materials ...
Medical Xpress / An overlooked protein may decide how fast male fertility starts to unravel with age
A study led by researchers at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the Josep Carreras Leukemia Research Institute (IJC) along with researchers from Rutgers University (U.S.) has identified the Sirtuin 7 (SIRT7) ...
Phys.org / 'Shoot for the moon?' Aim a bit lower, researchers say
How ambitious should you be? Folk wisdom offers conflicting advice: "Shoot for the moon," but also, "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." A new study by researchers at the University of Wyoming, Stanford University ...
Phys.org / A hidden supermassive black hole may be lurking inside the Antennae galaxies
Astronomers may have uncovered a hidden supermassive black hole inside the famous Antennae galaxies NGC 4038/4039, a pair of colliding galaxies best known for their spectacular bursts of star formation. The paper outlining ...
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: Failure to launch; cellular mortality; heavy weather
Highlights from the last week of May, 2026: A key climate tipping point is disrupting the Arctic Ocean food chain (more of a lowlight, I guess). Scuba-diving tourism may not be the benefit to coral reef systems that we once ...
Phys.org / Topological states emerge in quantum Hall-superconductor devices with multiple channels
Topological phases are unusual states of matter that give rise to properties protected by a material's overall structure (i.e., "topology"), as opposed to microscopic details. These phases are of great interest for the development ...
Medical Xpress / Blood test with AI spots four dementia-related brain diseases with 92.3% accuracy
Many people living with dementia never receive an accurate diagnosis, in part because Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and related conditions are notoriously difficult to tell apart and often occur together. Now, ...
Phys.org / A trip to the United Arab Emirates' darkest spot reveals a rare view of the Milky Way
The gleaming skyscrapers and bright lights of the United Arab Emirates draw the eyes of all who travel there, a sign of the Arabian Peninsula nation's rapid, oil-fueled development over the last decades into a major hub for ...
Tech Xplore / Computer scientists clear a path to stream 3D 'volumetric' video
New research by Brown University computer scientists may be a key step in bringing volumetric video—video that can be viewed from virtually any perspective in a 3D scene—to computers and smart televisions.
