Laser pulses capture unexplored polaronic states
In an international experiment, researchers observed Jahn–Teller polarons—quasiparticles that could play an important role in future ultrafast spintronic device...
Scientists develop predictive roadmap to boost performance in next-gen spintronics
Chiral 2D metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are among the most promising materials for future technologies that exploit the spin of electrons in spin-based optoel...
Morocco's hidden history: Archaeology, DNA and carbon dating rewrite the story of the ancient world
For decades, stories about the ancient Mediterranean have centered on the grand cultures of Greece, Rome, Phoenicia and Egypt. Northwest Africa seldom enters th...
Warming may slow forest growth and cut carbon storage by 30%, model shows
Forests and land play an important role in absorbing carbon dioxide emissions, but current models and forecasts don't incorporate a surprising ecological discov...
Inorganic nanoscale device behaves like a single neuron, opening doors for AI and retinal implants
McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes information. The neuron-like behavior emer...
What are supermassive black holes? Everything you need to know about these mysterious objects
Nearly every massive galaxy observed hosts a supermassive black hole at its center. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered that some of these supermas...
Looking for work? Don't worry about seeming too eager
Many people worry that responding too quickly to a prospective employer could make them seem too available or even desperate. New research published in Manageme...
Ultra-precise technology can count damaged DNA fragments
The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has developed an ultrasensitive immunoassay-based analytical platform that can detect and quantify trace a...
Dog's skull shape and body weight linked to spinal fluid disorder risk
A new Cornell University study helps deepen the understanding of skull shapes in dogs of different sizes and draws a link between cranial and facial shapes, bod...
Scientists measure hidden quantum forces that could power a new generation of pharmaceutical drugs
It's one thing to design a pharmaceutical drug. It's another to know if and why it actually works; not on paper or in a computer model, but inside the chaotic w...
Novel rice paddy approach aims to prevent toxic metals from tainting rice
In a perspective published in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, Colorado State University researchers describe a management approach to prevent the uptake of...
Why AI rules in science matter now: Nature backs wider debate beyond mathematics
In an editorial, Nature endorses the "Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics," which was published earlier this month by researchers from...
