Phys.org / Quantum-dot device can generate multiple frequency-entangled photons
Researchers have designed a new device that can efficiently create multiple frequency-entangled photons, a feat that cannot be achieved with today's optical devices. The new approach could open a path to more powerful quantum ...
Phys.org / Organisms in the Atacama Desert soil are remarkably diverse, study shows
A new study shows that resilient and remarkably diverse populations of organisms can persist in the soil despite harsh and extremely dry conditions. An international team led by researchers from the University of Cologne, ...
Phys.org / How the Tibetan Plateau-Himalayan uplift shaped Asian summer monsoons
Research from Monash University reveals the climate history behind Asia's summer monsoon—Earth's most influential climate system. In a new study published in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, an international team of ...
Phys.org / Magnetic fields slow carbon migration in iron by altering energy barriers, study shows
Professor Dallas Trinkle and colleagues have provided the first quantitative explanation for how magnetic fields slow carbon atom movement through iron, a phenomenon first observed in the 1970s but never fully understood. ...
Phys.org / Massive supernova from Wolf-Rayet star could be precursor to black hole binary
What we know of the birth of a black hole has traditionally aligned with our perception of black holes themselves: dark, mysterious, and eerily quiet, despite their mass and influence. Stellar-mass black holes are born from ...
Phys.org / Birding enthusiasts can help songbirds avoid Salmonella epidemics
UCLA biologists are developing a tool to predict when deadly Salmonella outbreaks are likely to happen in wild songbird populations so that people can protect their feathered friends by taking down bird feeders at the right ...
Phys.org / Uncovering a hidden mechanism in Met receptor activation
Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, in collaboration with Osaka University and the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology, have uncovered a previously unknown ...
Phys.org / Myth of Native Hawaiians causing bird extinctions debunked by study
Challenging a 50-year-old narrative about Hawaiʻi's native birds, a new study from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa found no scientific evidence that Indigenous People hunted waterbird species to extinction. Published ...
Phys.org / Impact of darkwaves on marine ecosystems revealed
An international team of scientists has developed ways to measure and compare the impact of "darkwaves"—when extreme weather events or human activities reduce underwater light for extended periods, affecting the stability ...
Phys.org / Urban soils get new life by mixing excavated dirt with organic waste
Excavated soil from construction sites usually ends up in landfills, but it has great potential. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) show how excavated soil can be enriched with organic waste so that it ...
Phys.org / The path to solar weather forecasts is paved with drops in cosmic rays
At times, the sun ejects energetic material into space, which can have consequences for space-based and even ground-based electronic technology. Researchers aim to understand this phenomenon and find ways to forecast it, ...
Phys.org / A dry surface thanks to fluid physics: Contact-free method gently remove liquids from delicate microstructures
Researchers at the University of Konstanz have developed a gentle, contact-free method to collect liquids and remove them from microscopic surface structures. The method uses vapor condensation to generate surface currents ...
