Administrator Schizophrenia’s lost brain connections follow a surprising pattern Specialized brain scans reveal that schizophrenia is linked to widespread loss of the synapses that connect brain cells, with the left side of the brain hit especially hard. The damage follows a surpr... devices medical
Administrator Physicists create a tiny “Big Bang” with surprisingly small atomic nuclei Researchers at CERN have created microscopic versions of the early Universe by colliding surprisingly small atomic nuclei at nearly the speed of light. The collisions produced quark-gluon plasma, the ... materials science
Administrator Hidden magnetism inside atoms may explain mysterious gamma rays For decades, scientists have puzzled over why certain atomic nuclei unexpectedly produce large numbers of low-energy gamma rays. A new experiment traced the effect to magnetic changes inside the nucle... materials science
Administrator Scientists turn tiny “defects” into a 5.5x heat transfer boost Scientists have developed an ultrathin coating that could dramatically improve how efficiently heat is transferred during condensation. By turning tiny polymer structures once considered “defects” int... materials science
Administrator The magnetic secret inside steel finally explained For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon at... chemistry science
Administrator New catalyst makes plastic upcycling 10x more efficient than platinum Scientists are finding new ways to replace expensive, scarce platinum catalysts with something far more abundant: tungsten carbide. By carefully controlling how tungsten carbide’s atoms are arranged a... chemistry science
