Scientific discoveries and research
Researchers demonstrate organic crystal emitting red light from UV and green from near-infrared
Invisible light beyond the range of human vision plays a vital role in communication technologies, medical diagnostics, and optical sensing. Ultraviolet and nea...
Broken inversion symmetry lets 3D crystals mimic 2D Ising superconductivity
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, in general, allow the realization of unique quantum phenomena unattainable in the common three-dimensional (3D) world. A prime e...
Quantum encryption method demonstrated at city-sized distances for the first time
Concerns that quantum computers may start easily hacking into previously secure communications has motivated researchers to work on innovative new ways to encry...
A dinosaur with spikes exhibiting unprecedented properties discovered in China
Documented for 200 years, the Iguanodontia group is expanding with the discovery of a brand-new species, the first known to bear spikes with properties never be...
Why rethinking wellness could help students and teachers thrive
Teachers supervising students in school-sponsored work sites tend to prioritize emotional and social well-being in the workplace, according to research from Rut...
Three-way quantum correlations fade exponentially with distance at any temperature, study shows
The properties of a quantum material are driven by links between its electrons known as quantum correlations. A RIKEN researcher has shown mathematically that,...
Gut microbe Blautia luti uses formate, not hydrogen, to shuttle electrons
Among the many trillions of microorganisms in the human gut is Blautia luti. Like many gut bacteria, it metabolizes indigestible dietary components, such as fib...
Study strengthens the potential of mycoprotein as an alternative to meat
Plant-based food as an alternative to meat is high on the agenda today, and mycoprotein (fungal protein) in particular has come into focus in recent years. A ne...
New database enables comparative archaeological and historical urbanism
Archaeology offers an unparalleled material record of urban dynamics, spanning thousands of years and operating in varied environmental and cultural contexts. T...
'Energy efficiency' proves key to how mountain birds adapt to changing environmental conditions
Research led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) sheds new light on how mountain birds adapt to changes in climate. Scientists know that species diversity ch...
Watching a critical green-energy catalyst dissolve, atom by atom
Iridium oxide is one of the most important—and most problematic—materials in the global push toward clean energy. It is currently the most reliable catalyst use...
Study reveals microscopic origins of surface noise limiting diamond quantum sensors
A new theoretical study led by researchers at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory has identified the microscopic mechanisms by which diamo...
