New research shows how to challenge the rising tide of global hate
A global team of researchers, including Professor Stephen Reicher from the School of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of St Andrews, have produced...
42 years of measuring the sun, the Earth and the energy in between
On Jan. 31, 1958, Explorer 1 became the first satellite launched by the United States. Its primary science instrument, a cosmic ray detector, was designed to me...
A few weeks of X's algorithm can make you more right-wing—and it doesn't wear off quickly
A new study published in Nature has found that X's algorithm—the hidden system or "recipe" that governs which posts appear in your feed and in which order—shift...
Natural olive-derived compound, controls insecticide-resistant cabbage stem flea beetle
Scientists at Rothamsted Research and ApresLabs Ltd have demonstrated that SYN-A, a naturally derived synergist extracted from olive oil, can restore the effect...
Is this glass square the long, long future of data storage?
Scientists at Microsoft Research in the United States have demonstrated a system called Silica for writing and reading information in ordinary pieces of glass w...
Terahertz spectroscopy finds nitrogen can lengthen GaAs-like LO phonon decay
An Osaka Metropolitan University-led research team investigated the decay time of coherent longitudinal optical (LO) phonons both in a GaAs1−xNx epilayer and in...
Can human heart failure interventions work in dogs?
Mitral regurgitation is the most prevalent valvular heart disease in humans. It's also common among dogs, especially older and smaller breed dogs. In both speci...
Obstacle or accelerator? How imperfections affect material strength
Imagine a material cracking—now imagine what happens if there are small inclusions in the material. Do they create an obstacle course for the crack to navigate,...
How one molecule's 'voice' was captured: Infrared light meets scanning tunneling microscopy
When things vibrate, they make sounds. Molecules do too, but at frequencies far beyond human hearing. Chemical bonds stretch, bend, and twist at characteristic...
What 'housane' rings are and why a light-powered route may matter for drugs
When developing new drugs, one thing is particularly important: finding and producing the right molecules that can be used as active ingredients. The key elemen...
A 'magic blueprint' for converting CO₂ into resources through atom-level catalyst design
A research team led by Professor Su-Il In of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST has uncovered the principle that the products and reactio...
Cheaper green hydrogen? New catalyst design cuts energy losses in AEM electrolyzers
Producing clean hydrogen from water is often compared to storing renewable energy in chemical form, but improving the efficiency of that process remains a scien...
