Pressure unlocks 3D superconductivity in tantalum disulfide at triple the temperature
Superconductors have long been considered a promising technology for the energy systems of the future. They can conduct electricity without resistance, thus eli...
15 years of climate research gathered on Lufthansa scheduled flights
For 15 years, a Lufthansa Airbus A340-300 has been carrying not only passengers around the world but also a piece of research from Jülich. On July 8, 2011, the...
Study unveils new genetic screen for understanding human development
A new genetic screening method allows researchers to efficiently modulate individual genes across entire tissues and provides new insights into human developmen...
New plasma-based hydrogel tech to speed up recovery for burn victims
A new medical engineering technology developed at the University of Newcastle could significantly improve recovery outcomes for burn patients. The breakthrough...
Medieval text family trees suggest 60% of works vanished over centuries
For every King Arthur or Roland, whose adventures readers can still enjoy today, another hero of ancient literature may have been lost forever. Before the print...
Using quantum entanglement to secure ground-to-satellite timing
From mobile phones and banking systems to aircraft, ships and emergency services, much of modern life relies on precise timing signals from satellites. Known as...
Rare color shifting discovered in iconic Australian frog
University of Newcastle researchers have documented one of the clearest examples of iridescence ever recorded in an amphibian, revealing that the endangered gre...
Parasites deliver long-chain omega-3 fatty acids to aquatic systems, feeding endangered fish
Wormlike parasites cause crickets to jump into streams, where the fatty insects nourish endangered fish. Ayano Medo and Takuya Sato sought to characterize the f...
Measuring iron in motion at Earth-core conditions
It was a journey to the center of the Earth, if only for the briefest of moments. But rather than tunneling thousands of miles from Earth's surface, researchers...
Baseline tool could separate alien life signals from geology on ocean worlds
When it comes to the search for life elsewhere in the universe, methane and other chemical compounds are seen as signs of biology because they are often produce...
What the wool remembers: The carbon secrets locked inside every fleece
It started as a joke. Representatives of menswear brand MJ Bale had spent three days in a design sprint with CSIRO scientists trying to nail what kind of tool t...
Ultra-compact sensor paves the way for more powerful and scalable silicon quantum processors
Researchers from the Quantum Hardware group at CIC nanoGUNE, in collaboration with the British company Quantum Motion, have demonstrated an advanced readout sen...
