NA64 uses the high-energy SPS muon beam to search for dark matter
The NA64 experiment started operations at CERN's SPS North Area in 2016. Its aim is to search for unknown particles from a hypothetical "dark sector." For these searches, NA64 directs an electron beam onto a fixed target. Researchers then look for un.....»»
Chinese researchers issue critical warning on groundwater flooding risks
Karst regions, which cover about 15% of the Earth's land surface, provide freshwater for about a quarter of the world's population. Despite their importance, these areas are prone to frequent and often unnoticed groundwater flooding......»»
Webb cracks case of inflated exoplanet
Why is the warm gas-giant exoplanet WASP-107 b so puffy? Two independent teams of researchers have an answer......»»
Study explores long-term impacts of climate change on plant pollinators and food production
A study published in Oecologia from researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington; the University of Nevada, Reno; and Virginia Tech shows that climate change has led to decreased pollen production from plants and less pollen more diversity tha.....»»
Researchers map meerkat chit-chat
Meerkats use two different types of vocal interactions to stay in touch with their group mates. Sometimes the call simply broadcasts information, whereas other times meerkats engage in a call exchange with their neighbors, as researchers from the Cen.....»»
Using hybrid nanotubes to enhance cancer treatment with intracellular protein delivery
The intracellular delivery of proteins is an important technique for unveiling the cellular functions, protein complex structure, and therapeutics. However, conventional delivery methods have several limitations......»»
Actin research shows how butterfly wings get their vibrant colors
The secret of how butterfly wings get their vibrant colors has been revealed in a new study. Using cutting-edge super resolution microscopy, researchers from the University of Sheffield and the Central Laser Facility have been able to investigate the.....»»
Low-income groups bear greater health burden in food systems: Study
Across regions where food is produced, emissions from agriculture pose health risks to local populations. Among them, low-income groups are hit the hardest, a study published in Nature Food by researchers at Peking University (PKU) and collaborators.....»»
Researchers identify new drivers of antibiotic resistance in bacteria
Two newly discovered mechanisms in bacteria have been identified that can contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance. Changing the number of copies of resistance genes in bacteria increases antibiotic resistance, and can do so very quickl.....»»
Iso-propagation vortices: Optical multiplexing for unprecedented information capacity
The future of optical communications just got brighter. In a development reported in Advanced Photonics, researchers from Nanjing University have introduced iso-propagation vortices (IPVs), a novel concept that offers a solution to a long-standing ch.....»»
I traded my mechanical keyboard for a magnetic one. I’m not going back
When my old mechanical keyboard broke down, I decided to go magnetic and try Turtle Beach's Vulcan 2 TKL Pro......»»
Cameras reveal wombat burrows can be safe havens after fire and waterholes after rain
Australia's unprecedented Black Summer bushfires in 2019–20 created ideal conditions for misinformation to spread, from the insidious to the absurd......»»
Researchers realize multiphoton electron emission with non-classical light
Strong field quantum optics is a rapidly emerging research topic, which merges elements of non-linear photoemission rooted in strong field physics with the well-established realm of quantum optics. While the distribution of light particles (i.e., pho.....»»
How hunting may have turned humans into long-distance runners
Researchers have discovered hundreds of historical accounts of humans hunting prey by chasing them down over long distances, which some believe is why we evolved our unique talent for endurance running......»»
Researchers develop world"s smallest quantum light detector on a silicon chip
Researchers at the University of Bristol have made an important breakthrough in scaling quantum technology by integrating the world's tiniest quantum light detector onto a silicon chip. The paper, "A Bi-CMOS electronic photonic integrated circuit qua.....»»
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sues Meta, citing chatbot’s reply as evidence of shadowban

Researchers calculate the carbon footprint of building a wooden house in Japan
Researchers at Kyushu University have published a comprehensive analysis on the carbon footprint of constructing a wooden house in Japan. The study covered the total amount of emissions produced, taking into consideration the entire supply chain incl.....»»
New sensor gives unprecedented look at changes in ATP levels inside a cell
Just as the US economy runs on the dollar, the cellular economy runs on adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The energy-carrying molecule fuels nearly all processes inside the cell, making ATP critical for cellular life......»»
Researchers develop a detector for continuously monitoring toxic gases
Most systems used to detect toxic gases in industrial or domestic settings can be used only once, or at best a few times. Now, researchers at MIT have developed a detector that could provide continuous monitoring for the presence of these gases, at l.....»»
Proteomic analysis reveals how phosphite contributes to the fight against chemically resistant dieback
Having previously confirmed dieback is resistant to chemical control on crops such as avocados, stone fruits and pines, Curtin University researchers have gained new insights into how phosphite works against the fungus-like disease, in a potential br.....»»
