Self-cleaning fabric could eliminate the need for detergent
Detergents may begin their journey by cleaning our clothes, but they end up contaminating the environment, flowing into rivers, ponds, and oceans, where they se...
Quantum computers could have a fundamental limit after all
The performance of quantum computers could cap out after around 1,000 qubits, according to a new analysis published in the Proceedings of the National Academy o...
Saturn-mass world discovered orbiting two low-mass stars
Researchers report the discovery of a Saturn-sized exoplanet orbiting two M-dwarf stars, which are smaller and cooler than our sun. The findings from this disc...
Hydrogen shell detected around Nova Persei 1901 may be a planetary nebula
Using NASA's SPHEREx space telescope, astronomers have observed remnants of the eruption of Nova Persei 1901. As a result, they detected a bipolar molecular hyd...
Did you hear the one about scientists telling jokes? Not many did, according to a study of humor at conferences
To engage audiences and help keep their attention, many public speakers sprinkle their speeches with a little humor. It's a useful tool, but something that scie...
Electric current stabilizes spins at unstable points for new types of computing
A research team has discovered a new way to control tiny magnetic properties inside materials using electric current, which could possibly pave the way for new...
Superconducting quantum processor performs well with significantly less wiring
Quantum computers, computing systems that process information using quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical computers on some computational tasks...
Field-portable assays help scientists study and explore caves
A new study has demonstrated that we now have the tools to study the incredibly complex ecosystems of caves in near real-time with field-portable assays. The st...
Police misconduct is often traceable to warning signs before hire: Study recommends national hiring standards
Past behavior matters, especially in law enforcement where certain pre-hire misbehavior by law enforcement candidates sharply increases the likelihood of police...
How soil microbes may control the future of our planet
The soil beneath our feet is a huge carbon bank storing up to approximately three times more carbon than the entire atmosphere. That makes it a significant play...
Research team examine ethical and methodological use of generative artificial intelligence in higher education
University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies scholars Patricia Akojie, Ph.D., Marlene Blake, Ph.D., and Louise Underdahl, Ph.D. have published new research...
'Space archaeology' reveals first dynamic history of a giant spiral galaxy
A team of astronomers led by the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard and Smithsonian have for the first time used galactic archaeology, the study of detailed chem...
