Phys.org / Saturday Citations: Cruise ship pathogen spread in ancient Rome; Plus: Pomegranates, retinal implants
This week, researchers reported that malaria influenced population distribution in Africa thousands of years ago. Mathematicians at MIT report that classical physics formulations can explain quantum phenomena. And a study ...
Phys.org / 'Aquila Booster' challenges theoretical limits of particle acceleration in pulsar wind nebulae
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has detected PeV (1015 eV) gamma-ray emission from a pulsar wind nebula powered by PSR J1849-0001 in the constellation Aquila, marking the discovery of a new PeVatron ...
Phys.org / New approach to detect ultra-rare part-per-sextillion isotopes could also sharpen dark matter searches
The detection and study of isotopes, atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, could expand the scope of physics research and enable new scientific discoveries. So far, rare isotopes have been primarily ...
Medical Xpress / Mechanical forces from the beating heart may help prevent cancer cell growth
Scientists may have discovered another way the human body tries to protect itself from cancer. New research on mice suggests that the heart's constant beating may prevent tumor growth in cardiac tissue. Most organs are vulnerable ...
Phys.org / These eight coastal cities sit on America's flood front line, and AI shows why
New York, New Orleans and Miami are among the eight cities along the US Gulf and Atlantic coasts facing the highest flood risk, according to a new study published in Science Advances. Scientists developed a new AI-driven ...
Phys.org / Physicists revive 1990s laser concept to propose a next-generation atomic clock
Researchers in the US and Germany have unveiled a theoretical blueprint for an atomic clock driven by a highly synchronized laser, where atoms work in concert rather than independently. Publishing their results in Physical ...
Phys.org / How deceptive content reached millions of voters during the 2020 US elections
Over the past decades, the diffusion of fake news and other deceptive content on social media platforms has become a heated topic of debate. Some past studies have explored the broad impact of online misinformation, while ...
Phys.org / Neutrinos caught on camera: Testing the first prototype of a new elementary particle detector
Some innovations in physics come from entirely new technologies, others from fresh theoretical insights. Others still take shape by bringing together existing tools in new ways, working out how to combine them to outperform ...
Medical Xpress / Microplastics in human liver could be fueling global surge in disease
There is considerable evidence that microplastics and nanoplastics are present in the livers of humans, and wild animal populations on land and in the ocean. Now experts in environmental and human health are investigating ...
Phys.org / LAMOST maps open cluster NGC 1647, linking broad main sequence to differential reddening
Using the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), astronomers have observed a nearby young open cluster known as NGC 1647. Results of the new observations, presented in a paper published April ...
Medical Xpress / HIV disrupts lung 'clock,' raising COPD and emphysema risk
People living with HIV face a greater risk of developing lung diseases at a much younger age, even if they have never smoked. FIU researchers have now uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps explain how HIV causes ...
Phys.org / 42 lost pages of the new testament manuscript discovered
An international team of academics led by Professor Garrick Allen at the University of Glasgow has successfully recovered 42 lost pages from one of the world's most important early New Testament manuscripts: Codex H.
