Phys.org / Astronomers determine the fate of a double white dwarf binary
Utilizing the stellar evolution code named Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA), Chinese astronomers have investigated the evolution of a recently discovered ultra-compact double white dwarf binary system ...
Phys.org / New index reveals global water resources' growing dependence on extreme rainfall
As global temperatures climb, rainfall patterns are shifting in ways that could put water resources and agriculture under increasing strain, a new study published in Water Resources Research suggests.
Phys.org / Lost mosaic reveals first image of female beast-fighter from the Roman era
When you think of a fight between an animal and a human in ancient Roman sports, the mental image is usually of a big man vs. an animal in a big arena filled with cheering spectators. In a new study, Alfonso Manas, a researcher ...
Phys.org / SimCells successfully target and kill drug-resistant bacteria
We are continually in an evolutionary arms race with bacteria. As we develop new antibiotics, they develop resistance, and so it goes on until some of our treatments no longer work. Superbugs and antimicrobial resistance ...
Phys.org / New catalyst enables targeted antibiotic redesign to beat resistant bacteria
Antibiotics, our infantry against bacteria, are losing their ability to fight against bacterial infections due to the rise of superbugs—microbes that have developed resistance to medications that are designed to kill them. ...
Phys.org / Gaia analysis finds Messier 35 is larger and older than earlier estimates
Astronomers from Egypt and Turkey have conducted a comprehensive analysis of kinematic, structural, and astrophysical parameters of a nearby open cluster known as NGC 2168. Results of the new study, published March 23 on ...
Phys.org / Targeting tumor supporting cells: Lipid nanoparticles advance CAR T success in pancreatic cancer
Often diagnosed when surgery is no longer an option, pancreatic cancer is one of the most difficult cancers to treat and has one of the lowest rates of survival among major malignancies. Like many solid tumors, the most common ...
Phys.org / NASA begins the countdown for humanity's first launch to the moon in 53 years
NASA began the countdown Monday for humanity's first launch to the moon in 53 years.
Phys.org / Tracking the footsteps of West Africa's prehistoric metalworkers
The discovery of a 2,400-year-old metalworking workshop in Senegal provides new insights into the history of iron production in Africa. Despite decades of archaeological research, the origins of iron metallurgy in sub-Saharan ...
Phys.org / Quantum magnetism: Spin-flip process in atomic nucleus does not account for all magnetic behavior
In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the universe. Understanding the structure of the atomic nucleus is crucial for research with implications ...
Phys.org / Can planes evacuate in 90 seconds? New simulations show the safest cabin layout
In case of an emergency, the Federal Aviation Administration requires aircraft to be able to evacuate within 90 seconds. However, as the median age of the global population increases, the growing number of elderly airline ...
Phys.org / Legged robot could accelerate resource prospecting on the moon and the search for life on Mars
Planetary surface missions currently operate cautiously. On Mars, communication delays between Earth and rovers (typically between four and 22 minutes), as well as data transfer constraints due to uplink and downlink limitations, ...
