Phys.org / Physicists discover attractive forces between molecular condensates may cause running off
Inside cells, certain functions are carried out by locally adjusting molecular composition. This condensation of material results in the formation of dense droplets that can dynamically rearrange. Because of this, interactions ...
Phys.org / A new strategy for assembling π-conjugated panels into square molecules revealed
A research group has developed a new method for selectively synthesizing three-dimensional macrocycles,⁽¹⁾ in which four panels are arranged in a square, by connecting planar π-conjugated molecules⁽²⁾ at right angles.
Phys.org / Dengue is no longer just a travel risk—what Google's mosquito plan could mean for your summer
This is not science fiction or some perverse prank. A Silicon Valley tech giant is seeking federal approval to release up to 64 million sterilized male mosquitoes in California and Florida over the next two years.
Phys.org / AI brews a caffeine-powered safety switch for future cell therapies
For many of us, a warm cup of coffee is how we start our day. For Texas A&M Health researchers, it may also offer a new way to control engineered cells in future medicines.
Phys.org / Warming boosts natural methane emissions as microbes fail to keep pace
A new study led by Professor Mark Trimmer of Queen Mary University of London, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, explains how increases in natural methane emissions will be maximized under future climate warming.
Phys.org / Magnetic field helps binary star systems form, new simulations indicate
New simulations show that interactions with a magnetic field can work to decrease the distance between still forming binary protostars. These results can help explain the characteristics of the binary star systems observed ...
Phys.org / Passive AI use at work increases feelings of work meaninglessness, study finds
Approximately 88% of organizations around the world implemented artificial intelligence (AI) into at least one business function by the end of 2025, the latest McKinsey Global Survey on the state of AI found. Despite promised ...
Phys.org / Hawai'i's last false killer whales threatened by nutritional stress and warming seas
A seven-year collaborative study has revealed alarming fluctuations in the health of Hawaii's endangered insular false killer whales, with some individuals losing nearly a quarter of their body weight in just a few months. ...
Phys.org / North Atlantic spring storms have grown more common since 1940, analysis reveals
Storm Dave, which swept across northern Europe over the Easter weekend, is an example of what new research from the University of Gothenburg has revealed. Spring storms forming over the North Atlantic have become more common ...
Phys.org / Visual AI tracks nearly 100 wildlife species to improve conservation
Wildlife research projects worldwide could benefit from a new AI system which can automatically find, name, and follow individual animals in footage.
Phys.org / How 'asymmetric alloying' is creating the next generation of luminescent materials
Metal cluster molecules are discrete compounds containing multiple metal atoms held together by metal–metal and metal–ligand bonding. They serve as excellent candidates for catalysts, biosensors, and even for drug development. ...
Phys.org / RNA-guided transposon mechanics show use of figure-eight intermediate and direct-transfer route
IS110 transposons are a large, diverse family of bacterial insertion sequences (IS elements)—small, mobile DNA elements that can move from one genomic location to another. They have recently attracted broad interest due to ...
