An “invisible forest” of phytoplankton is thriving in part of our warming ocean, new research shows. Phytoplankton are tiny drifting organisms that do about half of the planet’s “primary production”…
Meandering conduction channels and the tunable nature of quantized charge transport. Topological protection provides unprecedented robustness of physical phenomena against all kinds of perturbations; but in doing so, it exercises…
The discovery of a stable single-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms validates a century-old theory. Covalent bonds, in which two atoms are bound together by sharing a pair of…
Manganese is earth-abundant and cheap. A new process could help make it a contender to replace nickel and cobalt in batteries. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are growing in adoption, used in…
A new study shows Mars’ early thick atmosphere could be locked up in the planet’s clay surface. Mars wasn’t always the cold desert we see today. There’s increasing evidence that…
For the first time in Germany: Heart Center of the UMG uses new procedure for cardiac arrhythmias. The Optrell mapping catheter, which allows precise imaging of the heart, was used…
NASA’s Coronal Diagnostic Experiment (CODEX) is ready to launch to the International Space Station to reveal new details about the solar wind including its origin and its evolution. Launching in…
In space exploration, long-distance optical links can now be used to transmit images, films and data from space probes to Earth using light. But in order for the signals to…

By applying an electric field, the movement of microswimmers can be manipulated. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS), the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad…
Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory have developed a new combination of imaging and computational methods to study connections between immune cells in breast cancer and melanoma. A growing cancer is…
Roughly one third of patients with depressive symptoms have elevated levels of inflammation. Inflammation is however often only measured using very broad and unspecific markers. To better understand the connection…
Small drops, big impact: Over time, rain can damage the surfaces of rotor blades. This reduces the efficiency and profitability of wind turbines, especially at sea. Researchers from institutions of…
…takes sensor technology to extreme conditions. Researchers at Tampere University have developed the world’s first soft touchpad that can sense the force, area and location of contact without electricity. The…
Polaritons are coupled excitations of electromagnetic waves with either charged particles or vibrations in the atomic lattice of a given material. They are widely used in nanophotonics because of their…
Researchers discover new magnetic and electronic properties in kagome magnet thin films. A discovery by Rice University physicists and collaborators is unlocking a new understanding of magnetism and electronic interactions…
