Dead stars in our cosmic backyard: Astronomers spot four white dwarfs hiding under our nos
Researchers at the University of Warwick and the University of Colorado Boulder have directly observed, for the first time, four white dwarfs in binary star systems in our nearby region of space. These stellar binaries are all within 65 light-years of Earth, and one contains the
Climate disclosure gives Canadian companies an edge with European investors, new research
Canadian companies that disclose their climate-related risks and impacts have a considerable advantage over those that don't when it comes to attracting financing from European institutional investors, according to our recent report for the Institute for Sustainable Finance at Qu
Advances in materials science are helping unlock secrets of nanomaterials
New instruments on the horizon promise the most precise tools yet to study and experiment on the smallest and most complex materials ever manufactured. In a paper published in the journal Nature Materials, University of Cincinnati assistant professor Hanxun Jin highlighted advanc
Scientists create optical skyrmions using a two-century-old light phenomenon
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) scientists have used a classic optical phenomenon known as the Poisson spot to create stable patterns of light called optical skyrmions, which are tiny, swirling configurations in the properties of light—akin to the spik
Australia's echidnas reveal a prickly scientific puzzle
An echidna in Tasmania looks very different from one in Western Australia. But the differences run much deeper than appearance. A new review published in Australian Zoologist by University of Tasmania zoologist Stewart Nicol, an associate professor from the School of Natural Scie
Natural symbiosis: How plants and microbes share vital nutrients in fragile ecosystems
Nitrogen is essential for all living organisms, but in many ecosystems it is in short supply. Plants and soil microbes both rely on nitrogen to grow, leading to intense competition below ground. Researchers at The University of Manchester have uncovered how plants and soil microb
Pathway to high-fidelity quantum computing identified
Researchers from the University of Sydney, working with IBM, have identified and quantified important factors limiting the performance of quantum computers and demonstrated ways to overcome their impact.
Attitudes, not personality, may drive deepfake pornography creation
New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) suggests attitudes, particularly those that excuse harmful behavior, may be a stronger predictor of willingness to create deepfake pornography than personality traits. The findings are published in the Journal of Sexual Aggression.
New breakthrough spots deadly methanol without opening bottles
A new optical technique developed by researchers at the University of St Andrews and Adelaide University allows toxic methanol in alcoholic spirits to be detected without opening the bottle. Published in the Journal of Physics: Photonics, this new work offers a powerful new tool
Crop diversity and perennial grains could strengthen soil health under climate stress, stu
A McGill University study suggests that diversifying crops and replacing annual wheat with a perennial grain could help protect soil health as climate change brings more variable rainfall. The research is published in the journal Applied Soil Ecology.
Discovery of how cells maintain their DNA could shield key healthy cells from chemotherapy
A new study conducted by scientists at the University of Sheffield in collaboration with researchers from UT Southwestern Medical Center in the U.S. has found a protein that could help guide which cells chemotherapies target. The findings, published in Molecular Cell, open up a p
