Phys.org / Ultra-thin metasurface can generate and direct quantum entanglement
Quantum technologies, devices and systems that process, store, detect, or transfer information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential to outperform classical technologies in a variety of tasks. An ongoing ...
Phys.org / JWST discovers a new extremely metal-poor dwarf galaxy
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered a new dwarf galaxy, which received designation CAPERS-39810. Further investigation of CAPERS-39810 revealed that it is an extremely metal-poor galaxy. ...
Phys.org / Stacked graphene sandwich reveals switchable memory without traditional ferroelectrics
A research team led by Professor Youngwook Kim from the Department of Physics and Chemistry, DGIST, in collaboration with the research team of Professor Gil Young Cho at KAIST, have discovered a new memory principle that ...
Phys.org / Tiny droplets navigate mazes using 'chemical echolocation,' without sensors or computers
A recent study by a team of researchers led by TU Darmstadt has found that tiny amounts of liquid can navigate their way through unknown environments like living cells—without sensors, computers or external control. The ...
Phys.org / High-tech scans of an enigmatic 400-million-year-old lungfish reveal new details
New pieces have been added to the puzzle of the evolution of some of the oldest fish that lived on Earth more than 400 million years ago. In two separate studies, experts in Australia and China have found new clues about ...
Phys.org / Niobium's superconducting switch cuts near-field radiative heat transfer 20-fold
When cooled to its superconducting state, niobium blocks the radiative flow of heat 20 times better than when in its metallic state, according to a study led by a University of Michigan Engineering team. The experiment marks ...
Phys.org / Stable boron compounds pave the way for easier drug development
A major step toward simpler drug development has been taken at the University of Gothenburg. In a new study, researchers have developed stable boron-fluorine compounds that make it possible to increase the effect or reduce ...
Phys.org / Using duality to construct and classify new quantum phases
A team of theoretical researchers has found duality can unveil non-invertible symmetry protected topological phases, which can lead to researchers understanding more about the properties of these phases, and uncover new quantum ...
Phys.org / Infrared-activated hydrogel uses lysozyme 'nets' to combat resistant bacteria
Each year, bacterial infections are responsible for roughly 7.7 million deaths worldwide, with this problem further exacerbated by rising antibiotic resistance. Not only are wound infections increasingly difficult to treat, ...
Phys.org / How species competition shapes trait diversity worldwide
Every ecosystem is shaped by billions of invisible battles: organisms competing for light, nutrients, space, or mates. These competitive interactions determine which species survive, how they evolve, and how vibrant and resilient ...
Phys.org / From leadership to influencers: New study shows why we choose to follow others
For a long time, most scientists believed that early human hunter-gatherer societies were mostly equal, with little hierarchy or leadership, and that strong inequalities only emerged later with farming and complex societies. ...
Phys.org / From sea to soil: Molecular changes suggest how algae evolved into plants
Before plants evolved, vegetative life consisted of primitive green algae living in the sea. Like plants, these algae survived by performing photosynthesis, turning sunlight into energy. However, little light reaches the ...
