Phys.org / 'Chocolate-flavored' honey created using cocoa bean shells
A group of researchers from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, developed a product made from native bee honey and cocoa bean shells that can be consumed directly or used as an ingredient ...
Phys.org / A new way to look 'inside' water's microscopic structure
Water is essential for all chemistry and life, yet understanding how it interacts with dissolved ions—such as sodium and magnesium—has long been a major scientific challenge.
Phys.org / When superfluids collide, physicists find a mix of old and new behavior
Physics is often about recognizing patterns, sometimes repeated across vastly different scales. For instance, moons orbit planets in the same way planets orbit stars, which in turn orbit the center of a galaxy.
Phys.org / Physicists demonstrate the constancy of the speed of light with unprecedented accuracy
In 1887, one of the most important experiments in the history of physics took place. American scientists Michelson and Morley failed to measure the speed of Earth by comparing the speed of light in the direction of Earth's ...
Phys.org / New nanogel technology destroys drug-resistant bacteria in hours
As the threat of antibiotic resistance grows, a Swansea University academic has led the development of a novel technology capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine—with over 99.9% effectiveness ...
Phys.org / Scientists observe metabolic activity of individual lipid droplets in real time
A research team has developed a fluorescent probe that allows scientists to visualize how individual lipid droplets break down inside living cells in real time. The probe changes its fluorescence properties depending on the ...
Phys.org / Key driver of extreme winds on Venus identified
Imagine the catastrophic winds of a category 5 hurricane. Now, imagine even faster winds of more than 100 meters per second, encircling the planet and whipping clouds across the sky, with no end in sight. This scenario would ...
Phys.org / Family dogs' ADHD-like traits are linked to learning and self-control
In two newly published studies, researchers at the Department of Ethology, Eötvös Loránd University (Hungary) investigated how family dogs' ADHD-like traits relate to their learning and self-control. Dogs resemble humans ...
Phys.org / Newly discovered Colombian orchid faces 'foretold' extinction under climate change
A team of Colombian botanists has issued an urgent wake-up call after discovering a remarkable new orchid species, only to project its likely extinction within decades due to climate change.
Phys.org / Rich dinosaur site discovered in Transylvania
The Hațeg Basin in Transylvania is world-famous for its dinosaur remains, which have been unearthed from dozens of sites over the past century. Despite the high number of fossil localities, dinosaur finds are generally considered ...
Phys.org / Lost signal: How solar activity silenced Earth's radiation
Researchers from HSE University and the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences analyzed seven years of data from the ERG (Arase) satellite and, for the first time, provided a detailed description of a ...
Phys.org / White rhino born at Spain zoo in conservation success
A southern white rhino calf has been born at a zoo in eastern Spain, in a success for a European program aimed at preserving the threatened species.
