Researchers find unexpected excitations in a kagome layered material
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy Ames National Laboratory have discovered an unexpected chiral excitation in the kagome layered topological magnet TbMn6Sn6. This chiral excitation can be viewed as a localized magnetic swirl or vortex. T.....»»
Florida conchs are in hot water: Can moving them deeper revive a plunging population?
The rescue mission began with a splash. Flippered and masked snorkelers rolled off a boat anchored near Marathon and into chest-high water. It didn't take long to spot the target......»»
Key mechanism in nuclear reaction dynamics promises advances in nuclear physics
Researchers have made significant progress in understanding the transfer of neutrons in weakly bound nuclei. The experiment, performed at Legnaro National Laboratory, focused on the one-neutron stripping process in reactions involving lithium-6 and b.....»»
Vision Pro bug fixed; websites can no longer fill your room with bats
Apple has fixed a Vision Pro bug which would have allowed a website to fill your room with an unlimited number of virtual 3D objects. Those objects – flying bats in the proof of concept – would then persist even after you quit Safari. The bug.....»»
Spectroscopic technique that singles out water molecules lying on the surface reveals how they relax after being excited
A more complete picture of how excited water molecules at an interface with air lose their energy has been uncovered by RIKEN scientists in a study published in the journal Nature Communications. This finding will be valuable for better understanding.....»»
AI can help forecast toxic "blue-green tides"
A team of Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists plan to use artificial intelligence modeling to forecast, and better understand, a growing threat to water caused by toxic algal blooms. Fueled by climate change and rising water temperatures, these.....»»
Verizon Business Complete launches as an end-to-end smartphone management solution
Verizon is out today with a new offering for business and enterprise customers who would like a comprehensive smartphone solution. In a single program, Verizon Business Complete includes purchasing, setup, mobile device management (MDM), 24/7 support.....»»
Mini liver model innovations promise more effective drug testing
A laboratory-grown mini liver model uniquely created with liver cells and a synthetic nanoscaffold has shown to be effective in mimicking the liver, promising a new and more effective testing method for medicines that is more ethical than animal test.....»»

Thin and light is back in style, and Apple’s M4 iPad Pro is proof it can be done right
Not too long ago, Apple was on a mission to make all of its devices thinner and lighter. This ambition resulted in iPhones that bent, and MacBook Pros that removed pro ports and had a terrible keyboard. In the past few years, Apple has shifted gea.....»»
New theory broadens phase transition exploration
In a paper recently published in Physical Review Letters, Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers offer a new theory that predicts defect density across a variety of phase transitions. The research opens new routes for the exploration of defect fo.....»»
Nations realize they need to take risks or lose the race to the moon
The NASA-led Artemis-3 mission will place the first human boots on the surface of the moon since Apollo 17's Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt left the lunar surface in December 1972......»»
Starlings found to expend 25% less energy in follower position compared to flying solo
A multidisciplinary, multi-institutional team of researchers in the U.S. has found that starlings that fly in a follower position expend 25% less energy than when they fly solo. In their study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of.....»»
Investigating nematode-microbe interactions in lab-simulated decomposed beetle environments
Beneath the surface, bacterivorous nematodes are key players in the nutrient cycle, consuming bacteria that decompose organic matter. Traditionally, these nematodes are studied in laboratory environments where isolated bacterial strains are used to m.....»»
New development opens the door to more studies of protein movements
A new way to study protein movements has been developed by researchers at Umeå University and the MAX IV Laboratory in Lund. The method enables significantly more experiments than before and allows us to learn more about vital processes in the cells.....»»
Research team prepares ESA"s Arctic Weather Satellite for liftoff
With ESA's Arctic Weather Satellite due to launch in a few weeks, the satellite is now at the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California being readied for its big day. Once in orbit, this new mission will show how short-term weather forecasts in the A.....»»
