Researcher posits that electrons do spin, thanks to their fields
Deep inside all matter in the universe, electrons are buzzing around and behaving as if they are twirling around on their axes like spinning tops. These "spinning" electrons are fundamental to quantum physics and play a central role in our understand.....»»
Researcher: The true cost of food is far higher than what you spend at the checkout counter
After several years of pandemic-driven price spikes at the grocery store, retail food price inflation is slowing down. That's good news for consumers, especially those in low-income households, who spend a proportionally larger share of their income.....»»
Researcher proposes paradigm shift in enzyme biochemistry
Although you may never have heard of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes, these proteins play diverse and critical roles in humans through the metabolic processing of drugs, pesticides, fatty acids, fat-soluble vitamins, and chemical carcinoge.....»»

Diamonds are a chip"s best friend: Research determines spin-orbit effects on exciton complexes
Besides being "a girl's best friend," diamonds have broad industrial applications, such as in solid-state electronics. New technologies aim to produce high-purity synthetic crystals that become excellent semiconductors when doped with impurities as e.....»»
Laser-focused look at spinning electrons shatters world record for precision
Scientists are getting a more detailed look than ever before at the electrons they use in precision experiments......»»
Researchers overestimate their own honesty, finds study
The average researcher thinks they are better than their colleagues at following good research practice. They also think that their own research field is better than other research fields at following good research practice......»»
Management technique shows promise against emerging soybean pest
In the late 2010s, a mysterious pest—one that came to be identified as a new species of gall midge, Resseliella maxima—began infesting the soybean fields of Nebraska and neighboring states. Since then, the tiny but deadly fly has spread to at lea.....»»
Accelerator-on-a-chip advance steers and accelerates electrons at the microchip scale
Stanford researchers are getting closer to building a tiny electron accelerator based on "accelerator-on-a-chip" technology with broad potential applications in studying physics as well as medical and industrial uses......»»
Powering nitrogenases: Researchers find new targets for improving biocatalysts
Nitrogenases are considered promising candidates for the sustainable enzymatic production of ammonia and carbon compounds. Unfortunately, one bottleneck in this complex process, the supply of electrons to the enzymes, has remained a mystery until now.....»»
Age of Empires is Arriving for Mobile Platforms, but with a Catch
World's Edge studio and TiMi Studio Group announced they are collaborating on the mobile spin-off. The post Age of Empires is Arriving for Mobile Platforms, but with a Catch appeared first on Phandroid. The “Age of Empire” game.....»»
Starving mosquitoes for science
Researcher Jiayue (Gabriel) Yan is part of the Medical Entomology Program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His recent study appears in Communications Biology. In this article, he describes his work......»»
Stronger storms free more nutrients from mud flats, finds researcher
If storms become stronger in the future due to climate change, more nitrogen may be released from the bottom of coastal seas. This is shown by the research of marine biogeochemist Dunia Rios-Yunes at NIOZ in Yerseke. Rios-Yunes will defend her Ph.D......»»
Africa"s ice is disappearing: Tropical ice fields demonstrate speed of climate change
The few glaciers in Africa have long since become an important indicator of how rapidly and severely climate change is changing our planet. The ice on the high summits of the continent is rapidly disappearing, and Africa may lose its white peaks by t.....»»
Engineers use AI to wrangle fusion power for the grid
In the blink of an eye, the unruly, superheated plasma that drives a fusion reaction can lose its stability and escape the strong magnetic fields confining it within the donut-shaped fusion reactor. These getaways frequently spell the end of the reac.....»»
Electrons become fractions of themselves in graphene, study finds
The electron is the basic unit of electricity, as it carries a single negative charge. This is what we're taught in high school physics, and it is overwhelmingly the case in most materials in nature......»»
Researcher: A long voyage to Mars in a confined space could raise stress levels and make the journey more challenging
Within the next few decades, NASA aims to land humans on the moon, set up a lunar colony and use the lessons learned to send people to Mars as part of its Artemis program......»»
Do immigrant deaths at the border influence white and Latinx Americans" belief in the American dream?
The American dream narrative posits that anyone who works hard can become successful in the US, whereas the systemic racism narrative argues that the US is a racist country where minorities are systemically held back......»»
Spintronics research finds magnetic state of certain materials can be switched using surface induced strain
Electronics are based on electrical charges being transported from one place to another. Electrons move, current flows, and signals are transmitted by applying an electrical voltage. However, there is also another way to manipulate electronic current.....»»
Quantum dark states lead to an advantage in noise reduction
While atomic clocks are already the most precise timekeeping devices in the universe, physicists are working hard to improve their accuracy even further. One way is by leveraging spin-squeezed states in clock atoms......»»
Acid attacks are a form of violence against women—the law needs to treat them as such, researcher says
At the end of January, a 31-year-old woman and her daughters suffered horrifying injuries after being assaulted with an alkaline corrosive substance in London. Sadly, acid attacks like this are not isolated incidents. Over the last 15 years, they hav.....»»
