Phys.org / Origin of lowest density super-puff planet remains a hazy mystery
A thick layer of haze around the ultra-low-density planet Kepler-51d likely obscures not only the strange planet's composition, but also its origin, according to a new study. A team led by Penn State researchers used NASA's ...
Tech Xplore / Novel AI semiconductor uses hydrogen ions for learning and memory
A research team led by Lee Hyun Jun and Noh Hee Yeon from the Division of Nanotechnology at DGIST has succeeded in implementing the world's first two-terminal-based artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor that precisely ...
Medical Xpress / Automated intervention shows significant increase in smoking cessation behavior
Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) found that a new automated tobacco treatment system integrated into routine pediatric care helped drive a 3.9% absolute increase in smoking cessation among mothers—a ...
Phys.org / Molecular chains with bite: Customized carbon nanoribbons open a cleaner path to molecular electronics
The longest chains of the conductive polymer poly(p-phenylene; PPP) produced to date are just under one micrometer (thousandth of a millimeter) long—almost an order of magnitude longer than previously possible. A research ...
Tech Xplore / Mechanically activated liquid metal powder lets users draw circuits on paper
What if electronic circuits could be created simply by drawing lines with a pencil on paper or leaves—and then immediately applied to soft robots or skin-attached health monitoring devices? Korean researchers have developed ...
Medical Xpress / Upgraded smart mask tracks breath biomarkers for days with solar cell
Exhaled breath can provide a treasure trove of health information, offering a noninvasive window to both respiratory microenvironments and systemic physiological states. But collecting such data is a challenge.
Tech Xplore / Key transistor for next-generation 3D stacked semiconductors operates without current leakage
A research team led by Professor Jae Eun Jang and Dr. Goeun Pyo from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at DGIST has developed "dual-modulated vertically stacked transistors" that operate stably ...
Phys.org / Rapid sequencing method offers same day detection of antibiotic resistance
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a rapid and cost-efficient sequencing method that can identify antibiotic resistance within the same working day. The technique, called s5PSeq, measures how bacterial ribosomes ...
Phys.org / A 60-year old mystery about the moon's magnetosphere is finally solved
One particularly well-known fact about the moon is that it doesn't have much of a magnetosphere to speak of. There's no blanket to protect it from the solar wind ravaging its surface, blowing away its atmosphere and charging ...
Phys.org / Ocean bacteria team up to break down biodegradable plastic
Biodegradable plastics could help alleviate the plastic waste crisis that is polluting the environment and harming our health. But how long plastics take to degrade and how environmental bacteria work together to break them ...
Medical Xpress / Working memory may rely on calcium-tuned synaptic boosts, study suggests
Working memory is a cognitive function that is essential for carrying out everyday activities and temporarily retaining information. This process enables us to understand information, learn and manage responses in a controlled ...
Medical Xpress / How serotonin can be hijacked in the brain
Scientists have uncovered a powerful strategy that the brain uses to coordinate chemical signaling. In a new study, researchers found that in the striatum, a brain region central to learning and moving, one chemical signaling ...
