Phys.org / Temporal anti-parity–time symmetry offers new way to steer energy through systems
The movement of waves, patterns that carry sound, light or heat, through materials has been widely studied by physicists, as it has implications for the development of numerous modern technologies. In several materials, the ...
Phys.org / Antarctic submillimeter telescope enables more complete view of the carbon cycle in star-forming regions
Chinese researchers have braved the cold and harsh environment of Antarctica in order to get a unique view of star formation in the interstellar medium (ISM). The Chinese National Antarctica and Arctic Research Expedition ...
Phys.org / Construction emissions are higher than thought—but the solution isn't building less, new study finds
Many cities are making great strides in the fight against climate change, such as improving building energy efficiency, reducing traffic congestion and switching to renewable power sources. But there is another often overlooked ...
Phys.org / How concrete jungles could be changing dandelion seed dispersal in Japan
Dandelions are incredible plants with a highly efficient seed-dispersal system, meaning even a gentle breeze can carry seeds and their parachutes great distances. But in several places in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, they have ...
Phys.org / Wormholes may not exist—we've found they reveal something deeper about time and the universe
Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a misunderstanding of work by physicists Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen.
Phys.org / Mummified cheetahs found in Saudi caves shed light on lost populations
Scientists have uncovered the mummified remains of cheetahs from caves in northern Saudi Arabia.
Phys.org / Utah's other Great Salt Lake is underground, ancient, deep....and fresh
Under the Great Salt Lake playa lies a potentially vast reservoir of pressurized freshwater that has accumulated over thousands of years from mountain-derived snowmelt, according to new research from University of Utah geoscientists. ...
Phys.org / 'Reborn' black hole awakens after 100 million years of silence
One of the most vivid portraits of "reborn" black hole activity—likened to the eruption of a "cosmic volcano" spreading almost 1 million light-years across space—has been captured in a gigantic radio galaxy.
Phys.org / Insects are victims, not just invaders, says study
Insects are often seen as invaders due to high-profile species like the yellow-legged (Asian) hornet, the harlequin ladybird and fire ant. But new research reveals insects are also major victims of invasive alien species—exacerbating ...
Phys.org / Perovskite display technology demonstrates record efficiency and industry-level operational lifetime
A research team has developed a hierarchical-shell perovskite nanocrystal technology that simultaneously overcomes the long-standing instability of metal-halide perovskite emitters while achieving record-breaking quantum ...
Phys.org / New microscopy technique preserves the cell's natural conditions
Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy technique capable of improving the observation of living cells. The study, published in Optics Letters, ...
Phys.org / Turning crystal flaws into quantum highways: A new route towards scalable solid-state qubits
Building large-scale quantum technologies requires reliable ways to connect individual quantum bits (qubits) without destroying their fragile quantum states. In a new theoretical study, published in npj Computational Materials, ...
