Quantum anomaly: Breaking a classical symmetry with ultracold atoms
A new study of ultracold atomic gases finds a quantum anomaly: strongly interacting particles breaking classical symmetry in a 2-D Fermi gas.
People can handle the truth (more than you think)
New research explores the consequences of honesty in everyday life and determines that people can often afford to be more honest than they think.
Improving ‘silvopastures’ for bird conservation
The adoption of 'silvopastures' -- incorporating trees into pastureland -- can provide habitat for forest bird species and improve connectivity in landscapes fragmented by...
Fiber optic sensor measures tiny magnetic fields
Researchers have developed a light-based technique for measuring very weak magnetic fields, such as those produced when neurons fire in the brain.
Newly identified African bird species already in trouble
Central Africa's Albertine Rift region is a biodiversity hotspot consisting of a system of highlands that spans six countries. Recent studies have shown that...
Scientists examine variations in a cell’s protein factory
Scientists are studying the factors within a cell that can influence noise. They discovered that for 85 percent of genes, the noise magnitude is...
Commercially relevant bismuth-based thin film processing
Researchers prepared 2D layered, visible-light-absorbing bismuth sulfide semiconductors using a two-step process. The resulting film exhibited morphology that supported excellent semiconductor performance. The simplicity...
Strategies to protect bone health in hematologic stem cell transplant recipients
A new review looks at the major factors affecting bone health in mematologic stem cell transplant recipients, and provides expert guidance for the monitoring,...
Anti-inflammatory protein promotes healthy gut bacteria to curb obesity
Scientists have discovered that the anti-inflammatory protein NLRP12 normally helps protect mice against obesity and insulin resistance when they are fed a high-fat diet....
Mineral weathering from thawing permafrost can release substantial CO2
The amount of carbon dioxide released from thawing permafrost might be greater than previously thought, according to a new study by ecologists. The research...
