Layer Hall effect and hidden Berry curvature in antiferromagnetic insulators
Every time a new Hall effect is discovered, a wave of research is inspired. The first experiment on a new type of Hall effect, the layer Hall effect, had been reported by Xu's group at Harvard University. In the layer Hall effect, electrons from the.....»»
Biogeochemistry scientists from around the world publish position paper on tackling "hidden" phosphorus
As the world tries to mitigate agriculture's effect on the environment, much of the story can be found in soil, which stores and cycles nutrient elements of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus......»»
Overcoming magnetic disorder: Toward low-energy topological electronics
Overcoming magnetic disorder is key to exploiting the unique properties of quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulators. A Monash-led team has demonstrated that the breakdown in topological protection is caused by magnetic disorder, explaining previous ob.....»»
Astronomers discover a long-hidden small black hole in an unusually evolved binary system
Chinese researchers have discovered a promising mass-gap black hole using radial velocity and astrometry methods. The study was published online in Nature Astronomy on Sept. 10, and was conducted by a team led by Dr. Wang Song, an associate researche.....»»

Legislation to protect fish in Brazil could have opposite effect
A new law aimed at the protection of migratory fish in Brazil's Pantanal wetlands will harm thousands of local and Indigenous fishers, and puts the environment at greater risk from infrastructure development, finds a new study by a UCL researcher and.....»»
AI cybersecurity needs to be as multi-layered as the system it’s protecting
Cybercriminals are beginning to take advantage of the new malicious options that large language models (LLMs) offer them. LLMs make it possible to upload documents with hidden instructions that are executed by connected system components. This is a b.....»»
Hidden, compact galaxies in the distant universe—searching for the secrets behind the little red dots
Astronomers exploring the faraway universe with the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA's most powerful telescope, have found a class of galaxies that challenges even the most skillful creatures in mimicry—like the mimic octopus. This creature can imp.....»»

Solving the side effect problem of siRNA drugs for genetic disease treatment
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) drugs are a class of therapeutic agents that silence specific genes associated with inherited diseases. However, siRNA drugs have challenges because siRNAs often silence genes other than the target ones, causing side eff.....»»
The ozone hole above Antarctica will keep opening up each spring for decades to come: Why that still matters
At this time of year, as the sun rises over Antarctica, a "hole" opens up in Earth's ozone layer......»»
Unlocking oceanic mysteries: Satellites shed light on aerosol layer height
Aerosol layer height (ALH) is a key parameter for assessing aerosol impacts on weather, climate, and atmospheric correction. Accurate ALH retrieval improves the understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions and aids in surface air quality monitoring......»»
