A new algorithmic framework that can predict flooding could help save lives and reduce the devastation as climate change drives more intense and unpredictable rainfall. https://phys.org/news/2025-12-disaster-multi-scale-deep-neuro.html Earth Sciences Mon, 01 Dec 2025 21:00:01 EST news683822739 Western Australian scientists have developed a new method to monitor and predict Western Australia's rock lobster populations using satellite technology, in a study that could transform fisheries management worldwide. https://phys.org/news/2025-02-satellite-tracking-reveals-key-western.html Ecology Tue, 25 Feb 2025 10:41:24 EST news659702481 Recent findings of signatures of high-temperature superconductivity (HTSC) with Tc ≈ 80K at pressures above 14GPa in the crystals of La3Ni2O7 have attracted tremendous research interest as a new family of HTSC. https://phys.org/news/2024-10-scientists-bulk-high-temperature-superconductivity.html Superconductivity Wed, 09 Oct 2024 15:17:44 EDT news647705860 With data from the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission, researchers have revealed seasonal variations in intertidal seagrass across Western Europe and North Africa. As a key indicator of biodiversity, these new findings offer valuable insights for the conservation and restoration of these vital ecosystems. https://phys.org/news/2024-10-sentinel-reveal-significant-seasonal-variations.html Ecology Thu, 03 Oct 2024 15:24:13 EDT news647187848 Climate change is a global emergency challenging scientists, engineers, and industry experts from a wide array of disciplines to use their knowledge and skills in pursuit of solutions to protect our planet. https://phys.org/news/2023-03-qa-ai-combat-climate.html Environment Wed, 08 Mar 2023 10:00:05 EST news597492001 Trapping and controlling electrons in bilayer graphene quantum dots yields a promising platform for quantum information technologies. Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have now achieved the first direct visualization of quantum dots in bilayer graphene, revealing the shape of the quantum wave function of the trapped electrons. https://phys.org/news/2020-11-visualization-quantum-dots-reveals-function.html Nanophysics Tue, 24 Nov 2020 03:46:53 EST news525412007 Experienced operators claim they can tell if their machine is functioning properly merely by listening to the sounds it makes. EU-funded researchers have gone one better by developing technology based on the human auditory system that can, through sound analysis, 'hear' if industrial machinery is due for maintenance. https://phys.org/news/2018-10-software-fault-machinery.html Software Mon, 08 Oct 2018 09:30:02 EDT news458207618 If you only account for the matter we can see, our entire galaxy shouldn't exist. The combined gravitational pull of every known moon, planet, and star should not have been strong enough to produce a system as dense and complex as the Milky Way. https://phys.org/news/2018-08-large-scale-simulations-dark-elements-cosmos.html Astronomy Thu, 23 Aug 2018 09:55:49 EDT news454236937 Ongoing research by Mercyhurst University biologists intended to expand and expedite testing for potential pathogens in beach water at Presque Isle State Park has resulted in a new method that delivers near real-time water quality results. https://phys.org/news/2012-06-real-time-quality-results.html Cell & Microbiology Fri, 15 Jun 2012 11:03:02 EDT news258976955 A group of scientists from the University of Gothenburg and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden, have become the first group in the world to demonstrate that theories about nanoscale spin waves agree with observations. This opens the way to replacing microwave technology in many applications, such as mobile phones and wireless networks, by components that are much smaller, cheaper, and that require less resources. The study has been published in the scientific journal Nature Nanotechnology, the most prestigious journal in nanoscience. https://phys.org/news/2011-09-nanoscale-microwaves.html Nanophysics Wed, 07 Sep 2011 13:18:26 EDT news234620293 The integration of single-spin magnetoelectronics into standard silicon technology may soon be possible, if experiments confirm a new theoretical prediction by physicists at the Naval Research Laboratory and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. https://phys.org/news/2010-08-intrinsic-magnetism-silicon-surfaces-single-spin.html Condensed Matter Thu, 26 Aug 2010 12:12:42 EDT news202043535 (AP) -- Ten years ago, we would have been blown away by a cell phone with far more computing power and memory than the average PC had in 1999, along with a built-in camera and programs to manage every aspect of our lives. Ten years from now, the iPhone and its ilk will be antiques. https://phys.org/news/2009-12-devices-denser-webs-2010s.html Consumer & Gadgets Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:46:34 EST news180117034
