A recent study illuminates the origins of low-frequency ripples in space-time. Nanohertz gravitational waves, detected in 2023, are subtle space-time disturbances whose origins are still debated; recent studies suggest that their creation may involve complex physics beyond current understanding, challenging earlier theories of their linkage to early cosmic phase transitions. Just as a stone dropped […]

Researchers have created a disk-like nanostructure that dramatically improves light frequency conversion efficiency. This innovation in photonics combines material and optical resonances in a compact form, paving the way for advanced optical and photonic applications. Scientists at Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, have for the first time succeeded in combining two major research fields […]

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have pioneered the first detailed map of the human brain during pregnancy, tracking both the decrease in gray matter and increase in white matter across the gestational period. This groundbreaking study reveals the brain’s remarkable neuroplasticity during pregnancy, offering new insights into women’s health and potentially aiding in the early […]

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1057678 The U.S. Geological Survey has developed a new nationwide landslide susceptibility map, showing that nearly half the country is at risk of landslides. This map, built using an inventory of nearly 1 million previous landslides and high-resolution elevation data, provides a detailed, county-by-county analysis to aid in risk reduction and land-use planning. It not […]

Researchers at West Virginia University are advancing pancreatic cancer treatment by targeting a specific enzyme, myeloperoxidase, which typically aids in fighting infections but exacerbates cancer when overactive. The study, inspired by poor outcomes in existing therapies and a survival rate of only 13% for pancreatic cancer patients, explores how inhibiting this enzyme could enhance the […]
