Phys.org / Scalable method enables ultrahigh-resolution quantum dot displays without damaging performance
Over the past decade, colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as promising materials for next-generation displays due to their tunable emission, high brightness, and compatibility with low-cost solution processing. However, ...
Phys.org / Toddlers with facial tattoos: How Christianity expanded body art in Nile Valley civilizations
Ancient Nubians who lived between the 7th and 9th centuries tattooed the cheeks and foreheads of their infants and toddlers. This surprising discovery was made during a systematic survey of more than 1,000 human remains from ...
Phys.org / Rare Hall effect reveals design pathways for advanced spintronic materials
Scientists at Ames National Laboratory, in collaboration with Indranil Das's group at the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (India), have found a surprising electronic feature in transitional metal-based compounds that could ...
Medical Xpress / Compulsive behaviors may stem from too much (misguided) self-control
A long-held view is that compulsive behaviors involve individuals getting stuck in a "habit loop" that overrides self-control, but new research in rats from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) suggests this might not ...
Phys.org / Drug-resistant Candida auris harnesses CO₂ to survive on skin, research reveals
A new study involving the Medical University of Vienna shows how the multi-resistant fungus Candida auris utilizes carbon dioxide (CO₂) to survive on the skin and become resistant to antifungal therapies. The research team ...
Phys.org / Molecular mechanisms behind speciation in corals identified
Matías Gómez-Corrales, a recent biological sciences Ph.D. graduate from the University of Rhode Island, and his advisor, Associate Professor Carlos Prada, have published a paper in Nature Communications, revealing key mechanisms ...
Phys.org / West Antarctica's history of rapid melting foretells sudden shifts in continent's 'catastrophic' geology
Due to its thick, vast ice sheet, Antarctica appears to be a single, continuous landmass centered over the South Pole and spanning both hemispheres of the globe. The Western Hemisphere sector of the ice sheet is shaped like ...
Phys.org / Why a chiral magnet is a direction-dependent street for electrons
RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special kind of magnet. This finding could help to realize future low-energy devices.
Tech Xplore / Magnetic control of lithium enables a safe, explosion-free 'dream battery'
A new battery technology has been developed that delivers significantly higher energy storage—enough to alleviate EV range concerns—while lowering the risk of thermal runaway and explosion.
Phys.org / A DIY, fly-powered food waste recycling system
UC Riverside scientists have created a small-scale system that transforms food waste into high-protein animal feed and fertilizer using black soldier flies, offering a sustainable solution to a major environmental problem.
Medical Xpress / To flexibly organize thought, the brain makes use of space
Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new information. How does the well-controlled and yet highly nimble nature of cognition emerge from the brain's ...
Medical Xpress / New ALS drug stabilizes decline with a trend toward improved strength and mobility for some
Historically, people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) experience a relentless decline in neurological function that eventually robs them of the ability to move, speak, eat or breathe. Now, researchers from Washington ...
