Simulations predict the existence of black hole radio-wave hot spots
Black holes, regions in spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape from them, are among the most fascinating and widely studied cosmic phenomena. While there are now countless...
Study hints at the potentially crucial role of shear stress in the activation of pain sensing neurons
Feelings of pain and discomfort are crucial to the survival and evolution of animals, as they help to detect injuries or existential threats and pinpoint their location in the body. Pain signals are...
An architecture that gives users full control of their smartphones
In recent years, many smartphone users have become concerned about the privacy of their data and the extent to which companies might have access to this data. As things stand today, the applications...
Study rules out initially clustered primordial black holes as dark matter candidates
Primordial black holes (PBHs) are fascinating cosmic bodies that have been widely investigated by astrophysicists worldwide. As suggested by their name, these are black holes believed to have...
Whispering gallery modes with fractional optical angular momentum in photonic crystal micro-rings
Whispering gallery modes, a type of wave that can travel around concave surfaces, have proved to be promising for the development of new technologies, particularly in photonics. Due to geometrical...
An amorphous high-capacity iron fluorosulfate cathode
Chemists and engineers have been trying to create increasingly efficient, affordable and stable battery technologies to power a wide range of electronic devices. To do this, they have been...
A strategy to monitor electrolyte evolution in Na- and Li-ion batteries under real working conditions
To meet the growing global demand for electronics that can operate for long periods of time, engineers will need to develop highly performing and stable batteries with increasingly longer lifetimes....
The observation of an anomalous Hall effect in altermagnetic ruthenium dioxide
The Hall effect is a conduction phenomenon discovered by physicist Edwin Herbert Hall that describes the development of a transverse electric field in solid materials carrying electric current that...
Researchers realize perovskite-based phase heterojunction solar cells
Over the past few decades, engineers and material scientists have created increasingly advanced and efficient solar technologies. Some of these technologies are based on photovoltaics with a...
Study on rodents shows that the activity of single motor neurons is stable over time
While many studies have investigated the underpinnings of the mammalian motor system (i.e., the collection of neural networks that allow mammals to move in specific ways), some questions remain...
