Phys.org / Stealth quantum sensors unlock possibilities anywhere GPS doesn't work
As commercial interest in quantum technologies accelerates, entrepreneurial minds at the University of Waterloo are not waiting for opportunities—they are creating them.
Medical Xpress / Understanding how right- or left-hand dominance could open a window into the autistic brain
Most people take for granted which hand they use to reach for a cup of coffee or a puzzle piece. However, a new study out of York University suggests that for autistic individuals, which hand they use for various tasks is ...
Phys.org / Deep reading can boost your critical thinking and help you resist misinformation—here's how to build the skill
The average American checks their phone over 140 times a day, clocking an average of 4.5 hours of daily use, with 57% of people admitting they're "addicted" to their phone. Tech companies, influencers and other content creators ...
Phys.org / Denitrification looks different in rivers versus streams
Human activities add large quantities of nitrogen to the environment, much of which gets washed into streams and rivers. These waterways transport some of that nitrogen to the oceans, but they also remove a significant portion ...
Phys.org / All ears: New study pinpoints what determines ear length in dogs
Ever see a basset hound and find yourself wanting to (gently) grab its long, floppy ears and give them a little waggle? The cute aggression caused by those droopy eared canines is real. And researchers at the University of ...
Phys.org / AI helps reveal global surge in floating algae
For the first time and with help from artificial intelligence, researchers have conducted a comprehensive study of global floating algae and found that blooms are expanding across the ocean. These trends are likely the result ...
Medical Xpress / Being cold doesn't make you sick, so why are illnesses more common in winter?
Many people across cultures grow up hearing that cold weather makes you sick. Going outside without a coat, breathing in cold air, sleeping in a chilly room, getting caught in cold rain or snow, or simply feeling chilled ...
Tech Xplore / Liquid metal powers a whole new kind of motor
Researchers at UNSW have developed a new type of motor that spins, not with rigid components, but with a droplet of liquid metal. The breakthrough could transform soft robotics, flexible electronics, and medical devices.
Phys.org / Scientists uncover hidden 'winter memory' inside plants
Scientists have developed a powerful new microscope that reveals, for the first time, how plants store a 'memory' of winter deep inside their cells.
Phys.org / Lifting magnetic fingerprints using scanning probe microscopy
A Czech and Spanish-led research team has demonstrated the ability to distinguish subtle differences between magnetic ground states using a new form of scanning probe microscopy.
Phys.org / Reprogramming the cancer messenger: A new era of tumor extracellular vesicle engineering
Researchers at National Taiwan University have developed a modular platform to reprogram tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), transforming them from oncogenic messengers into safe, customizable drug delivery vehicles ...
Phys.org / 'Supercooling' keeps salamanders from freezing in Canadian winters
On a frigid April day, Brock University Professor of Biological Sciences Glenn Tattersall, then-Ph.D. student Danilo Giacometti and wildlife researcher Patrick Moldowan ventured out into Ontario's Algonquin Provincial Park ...
