This electric field trick boosted heat flow by nearly 300%

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), working with The Ohio State University and Amphenol Corporation, have uncovered a surprising new way to control how heat moves through solid materials. Their findings challenge long held assumptions about heat transport and could lead to more efficient cooling…

Second pregnancy changes the brain in surprising new ways

A second pregnancy changes the brain in ways that are both familiar and distinct from a first pregnancy, according to new research from Amsterdam UMC published in Nature Communications. Building on earlier work showing that a first pregnancy reshapes the brain, the researchers found that each pregnancy leaves its own…

Physicists finally build a quantum material predicted more than a decade ago

Physicists from the University of Jyväskylä and Aalto University in Finland have successfully created a two dimensional topological crystalline insulator, marking the first experimental realization of a quantum material that scientists had predicted for more than a decade. Until now, attempts to produce it had been held back by difficulties…

Tiny bubbles could revolutionize inkjet printing

Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new way to control how ink dries by adding ultra fine bubbles to ink droplets instead of chemical additives. By simply changing the number of bubbles in each droplet, the team found they could dramatically alter the pattern left behind as the…

Why the human body has so many design flaws

The human body is often described as a marvel of “perfect design”: elegant, efficient and finely tuned for its purpose. Yet, when we look closer, a rather different picture emerges. Far from being a flawless machine, the body reads more like a patchwork of compromises shaped by millions of years…

Rare fossil goose rewrites the story of New Zealand's giant birds

A rare fossil goose discovered in the remains of an ancient lake in Central Otago is changing scientists’ understanding of how New Zealand’s unique bird life evolved. According to researchers from the University of Otago — Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka, the find adds to growing evidence that the origins of Aotearoa’s…

Europe just unveiled a new rival to SpaceX’s Starship

When SpaceX’s Starship lifted off from the Texas coast in the summer of 2023, it marked a milestone that aerospace engineers had discussed for decades but few expected to witness so soon. The towering stainless steel rocket, standing taller than a 30 story building, ignited all 33 of its engines…

Scientists discover the one nutrient beneficial parasites can't live without

Intestinal worms may help reduce inflammation, but new research suggests they can only do so when they have enough dietary fiber to thrive. Without sufficient fiber, these worms enter a hibernation-like state and lose their ability to provide anti-inflammatory benefits. The findings, published in Nature Communications, come from parasitologists at…

NASA satellites are watching Earth's newest island rise from the sea

Oceanographers often point out that scientists have mapped the surfaces of the Moon and Mars in greater detail than much of Earth’s deep ocean. That contrast is especially striking in the Bismarck Sea north of Papua New Guinea, where the seafloor remains poorly understood despite its remarkable geological complexity. The…

Heavy marijuana smoking may increase cancer risk, researchers warn

As marijuana becomes legal in more states, many people assume it is relatively safe. But when it comes to cancer, the picture is far less clear. While tobacco smoking has long been established as a major cause of lung cancer, scientists are still working to understand exactly how marijuana affects…
