Making pride more inclusive means creating space for 2SLGBTQ+ people with disabilities, say researchers
Pride month is a celebratory time for many queer people. It is an opportunity for greater visibility in the public sphere. Although 2SLGBTQ+ people are becoming more accepted, those living with disabilities still struggle to be seen and heard......»»
Alchemy: Much more than male-driven pseudoscience
What has long been seen as a deluded effort to turn base metals into gold is being reassessed by researchers as a serious precursor to chemistry in which women were heavily involved......»»
Reconstructing an alien astronomer"s view of our home galaxy"s chemistry
Researchers have reconstructed what alien astronomers observing our Milky Way galaxy from afar would find if they analyzed our home galaxy's chemical composition. The study, which is led by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, is.....»»
Microsoft claims to have achieved first milestone in creating a reliable and practical quantum computer
A team of researchers at Microsoft Quantum has reportedly achieved a first milestone toward creating a reliable and practical quantum computer. In their paper, published in the journal Physical Review B, the group describes the milestone and their pl.....»»
Begging dolphins prompt calls to reform recreational fishing
University of Queensland researchers have found bottlenose dolphins in Moreton Bay off Brisbane could be teaching other dolphins to "beg" for food from recreational fishers, with the behavior creating short and long-term risks......»»
Smart yet simple: Creating uniform DNA-encapsulating microgels that mimic a living cell
The living cell harbors physiologically relevant components such as the genetic material (DNA) and proteins in a "self-organized" setting. Understanding this process of self-assembly can reveal the underlying mechanism of self-organization of living.....»»
Q&A: How can the Chignik, Alaska, earthquake help predict future risk?
Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the tectonic plates that make up Earth's crust. Off the coast of Alaska, the Pacific plate thrusts underneath the North American plate creating enormous pressure at the Alaska-Aleutian fault. Between 2020 and.....»»
Apple releases visionOS SDK for creating Vision Pro apps, dev kit applications opening soon
When Apple announced Vision Pro at WWDC, the company promised to make a robust set of tools available for developers. That day has already arrived, with Apple announcing in a press release that developer tools for Vision Pro are now available, start.....»»
Fusion simulations reveal the multi-scale nature of tokamak turbulence
Creating efficient, self-sustaining fusion power requires good confinement of the heat in the plasma. Plasma confinement is limited by particle and energy losses due to turbulence. A new analysis has used a powerful supercomputer to study this turbul.....»»
New sensor could protect firefighters from harmful chemicals
Chitvan Killawala and Umer Bakali want to help protect firefighters from a potential threat. Their strategy to do so does not involve creating a better forcible-entry axe or a thicker face shield, but relies instead on deploying a device no bigger th.....»»
