Phys.org / Psychosocial safety pressures across Australian universities
A landmark report from Adelaide University is providing the most comprehensive picture to date of psychosocial safety across Australia's higher education sector. The study identifies widespread well-being and psychosocial ...
Phys.org / New study assesses potential dust control options for Great Salt Lake
A new collaborative study, led by University of Utah Professor of atmospheric sciences Kevin Perry, provides policymakers, agency leaders, and the public with the most comprehensive assessment to date of potential dust control ...
Phys.org / Why phage contamination is hard to kill, and how charged nanoparticles could help
Bacteriophages are viruses that can kill bacteria through highly specific interactions. While this property can be beneficial in selected applications, bacteriophages represent a serious threat to laboratories and industries ...
Phys.org / 'Virgin' frescoes emerge from Pompeii suburb
Amid the remains of a sumptuous villa near Pompeii, the hard-hatted conservationist scraped away centuries-old ash to reveal a vibrant red fresco.
Phys.org / Thailand uses a birth control vaccine to curb its elephant population near expanding farms
Thailand has begun using a birth control vaccine on elephants in the wild to try and curb a growing problem where human and animal populations encroach on each other—an issue in areas where farms spread into forests and ...
Phys.org / Gravitational lensing technique unveils supermassive black hole pairs
Supermassive black hole binaries form naturally when galaxies merge, but scientists have only confidently observed a very few of these systems that are widely separated. Black hole binaries that closely orbit each other have ...
Phys.org / New study maps where wheat, barley and rye grew before the first farmers found them
Using advanced machine learning and climate models, researchers have shown that the ancestors of crops like wheat, barley, and rye probably were much less widespread in the Middle East 12,000 years ago than previously believed. ...
Phys.org / Cutting down on quantum-dot crosstalk: Precise measurements expose a new challenge
Devices that can confine individual electrons are potential building blocks for quantum information systems. But the electrons must be protected from external disturbances. RIKEN researchers have now shown how quantum information ...
Medical Xpress / New research finds data-driven staffing model delivers major cost savings for health care systems
New research published in Operations Research shows that health care systems can substantially reduce overtime, idle time, and overall staffing costs by adopting a multilocation, dynamic staff-planning model for anesthesiologists. ...
Medical Xpress / World-first toolkit puts autistic lens on suicide prevention
Researchers from La Trobe University have launched a world-leading toolkit for health care professionals to better identify and support Autistic adults at risk of suicide.
Phys.org / Who stays together for life? The 'three-legged stool' of love
Valentine's Day is upon us again. But what does it really take for couples to stay together for a long time?
Phys.org / Photonic integrated circuits enable programmable non-Abelian 'braiding' of light states
A research team has successfully implemented a programmable spinor lattice on a photonic integrated circuit (PIC). This platform enables the realization of non-Abelian physics, in which the outcome of operations depends on ...
