Tech Xplore / New method helps explain how solar cells can repair themselves using sunlight
Engineers at UNSW Sydney have developed a way to monitor solar cells at a microscopic level while they are operating to discover exactly how damage caused by ultraviolet light can be naturally repaired. The new monitoring ...
Tech Xplore / Low-cost system turns smartphones into emergency radiation detectors
Prompt, individual-based dose assessment is essential to protect people from the negative consequences of radiation exposure after large-scale nuclear or radiological incidents. However, traditional dosimetry methods often ...
Phys.org / Pushback couldn't derail this researcher's work in criminology
There's been much published about the Cambridge-Somerville Youth Study, which looked at the impact of intervention on delinquency in young Massachusetts boys. The groundbreaking research followed up with study participants ...
Phys.org / AI model accelerates defect-based material design
Across the physical world, many intricate structures form via symmetry breaking. When a system with inherent symmetry transitions into an ordered state, it can form stable imperfections known as topological defects. Such ...
Medical Xpress / What Australia's youth social media ban reveals
When Australia enacted a national law last week banning social media use for children under 16, it became one of the first democracies to attempt such a sweeping intervention. The policy has drawn global attention not only ...
Phys.org / Footprint tracker identifies tiny mammals with up to 96% accuracy
It might be less visible than dwindling lion populations or vanishing pandas, but the quiet crisis of small mammal extinction is arguably worse for biodiversity. These species are crucial indicators of environmental health, ...
Medical Xpress / The statin gap: Survey reveals many Americans are unaware of life-saving cholesterol alternatives
Unhealthy cholesterol levels are a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. When lifestyle changes like diet and exercise aren't enough to lower cholesterol, medications can help. A new national survey commissioned ...

Dialog / The hidden physics of watersheds: Why some are more sensitive to climate variability than others
Water is everywhere, from the snowpack in the mountains to the tap in our kitchens. But while we often think about rainfall and snow as the main drivers of our water supply, it turns out that something we rarely see has just ...
Phys.org / Study finds no evidence that using gender-inclusive language alone helps women in the workplace
The use of gender-inclusive language may not in itself help women in the workplace, a new study shows. Researchers could not find that its use in English and German had an impact on the short-term display of crucial traits ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists develop advanced low-damping impedance control for collaborative robots
Collaborative robots, or cobots, are required to maintain compliant interaction while delivering rapid response performance when subjected to sudden, strong forces, such as during impact riveting, resistance spot welding, ...
