Phys.org / New mathematical models shed light on the mechanics of crystal defects
Crystals are known far and wide for their beauty and elegance. But even though they may appear perfect on the outside, their microstructure can be quite complicated, making them difficult to model mathematically.
Phys.org / Rabi-like splitting observed under electrical control in artificial magnets
Rabi-like splitting is one of the key concepts in modern quantum technology. Fully understanding it can help us advance our knowledge in quantum information processing. Assistant Professor Aakanksha Sud (Tohoku University), ...
Tech Xplore / Solid-state batteries promise faster charging, longer life, and improved safety
Solid-state batteries charge in a fraction of the time, run cooler, and pack more energy into less space than traditional lithium-ion versions.
Phys.org / Climate change intensifies marine heat waves, threatening ocean biodiversity and ecosystem services
The long-term impacts of marine heat waves on biodiversity and management strategies required to mitigate further damage were the focus of a review by researchers at The University of Western Australia.
Phys.org / New approach for testing multiple treatment combinations at once could aid in development of cancer drugs
MIT researchers have developed a new theoretical framework for studying the mechanisms of treatment interactions. Their approach allows scientists to efficiently estimate how combinations of treatments will affect a group ...
Medical Xpress / Who really hears the best? Visuals sway some musicians more than others
When we listen to a symphony, a jazz performance, or a pop song, we naturally tend to assume that our ears are the primary judges of quality. For many people, music is primarily an auditory experience, and they instinctively ...
Medical Xpress / Deafness and loneliness accelerate cognitive decline in older adults, findings reveal
Isolation, communication difficulties, reduced alertness—hearing impairment or loss is a real challenge in daily life. Over time, it can also become a risk factor for cognitive decline. A team from the University of Geneva ...
Phys.org / Subaru telescope discovers 'fossil' in outer solar system
The Subaru Telescope has made an exciting discovery: a small body beyond Pluto, with implications for the formation, evolution, and current structure of the outer solar system.
Medical Xpress / From tea towels to TV remotes: Eight everyday bacterial hotspots, and how to clean them
From your phone to your sponge, your toothbrush to your trolley handle, invisible armies of bacteria are lurking on the everyday objects you touch the most. Most of these microbes are harmless—some even helpful—but under ...
Phys.org / Heat melts Alps snow and glaciers, leaving water shortage
June's heat wave has caused French Alps snow and glaciers to melt faster, causing water shortages at mountain shelters just before the summer tourist hiking season gets into full swing.
Medical Xpress / Scientists develop tool that improves tissue cancer analysis
Researchers have developed a powerful new tool that makes it easier to study the mix of cell types in human tissue, which is crucial for understanding diseases such as cancer.
Phys.org / How rising living costs are changing the way we date, live and love
If it feels like rising prices are affecting your dating life or friendships, you're not imagining it. Around the world, economic pressures are taking a significant toll on personal relationships.
