New high-energy-density physics research provides insights about the universe
Atoms and molecules behave very differently at extreme temperatures and pressures. Although such extreme matter doesn't exist naturally on the earth, it exists in...
Non-invasive imaging technique could reduce need for repeat cancer surgeries
A team of University of Alberta engineers is refining a new imaging technique that could reduce the number of repeat surgeries patients undergo to...
The best material for homemade face masks may be a combination...
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people wear masks in public. Because N95...
Researchers watch the dynamics of plasmonic skyrmions made from light on...
The destructive force of a tornado occurs due to the extremely high rotational speeds in its center, which is called a vortex. Surprisingly, similar...
Seismic map of North America reveals geologic clues, earthquake hazards
How do mountains form? What forces are needed to carve out a basin? Why does the Earth tremble and quake?
Earth scientists pursue these fundamental...
Tectonic plates started shifting earlier than previously thought
An enduring question in geology is when Earth's tectonic plates began pushing and pulling in a process that helped the planet evolve and shaped...
Scientists invent nanoparticle that could improve treatment for bone defects
A team of biomaterials scientists and dentists at the UCLA School of Dentistry has developed a nanoparticle that, based on initial experiments in animals,...
Human-caused warming will cause more slow-moving hurricanes, warn climatologists
Hurricanes moving slowly over an area can cause more damage than faster-moving storms, because the longer a storm lingers, the more time it has...
New design could make fiber communications more energy efficient
Researchers say a new discovery on a U.S. Army project for optoelectronic devices could help make optical fiber communications more energy efficient.
The University of...
Hungry galaxies grow fat on the flesh of their neighbours
Galaxies grow large by eating their smaller neighbours, new research reveals.
Exactly how massive galaxies attain their size is poorly understood, not least because they swell over...
Research sheds light on how silver ions kill bacteria
The antimicrobial properties of silver have been known for centuries. While it is still a mystery as to exactly how silver kills bacteria, University...
