Cicada-palooza! Billions of bugs to blanket America

30Phys.org / 18h

They're loud. They're sexually aroused. And for one special, cacophonous month up to a trillion of them will engulf suburbs and woodlands across America.

Mapping the Milky Way's magnetic field in 3D

21Phys.org / 12h

We are all very familiar with the concept of the Earth's magnetic field. It turns out that most objects in space have magnetic fields but it's quite tricky to measure them. Astronomers have developed an ingenious way to measure the magnetic field of the Milky Way using polarized light from interstellar dust grains that align themselves to the magnetic field lines. A new survey has begun this mappi

Imagine predicting the exact finishing order of the Kentucky Derby from a still photograph taken 10 seconds into the race.

The first glow-in-the-dark animals may have been ancient corals deep in the ocean

Phys.org / 12h

Many animals can glow in the dark. Fireflies famously blink on summer evenings. But most animals that light up are found in the depths of the ocean.

Built-in bionic computing

ScienceDaily / 13h

The use of pliable soft materials to collaborate with humans and work in disaster areashas drawn much recent attention. However, controlling soft dynamics for practical applications has remained a significant challenge. Researchers developed a method to control pneumatic artificial muscles, which are soft robotic actuators. Rich dynamics of these drive components can be exploited as a computationa

New circuit boards can be repeatedly recycled

ScienceDaily / 11h

Researchers have developed a new PCB that performs on par with traditional materials and can be recycled repeatedly with negligible material loss. Researchers used a solvent that transforms a type of vitrimer -- a cutting-edge class of polymer -- into a jelly-like substance without damage, allowing solid components to be plucked out for reuse or recycling. With these 'vPCBs' (vitrimer printed circ

Computer vision researcher develops privacy software for surveillance videos

ScienceDaily / 11h

Computer vision can be a valuable tool for anyone tasked with analyzing hours of footage because it can speed up the process of identifying individuals. For example, law enforcement may use it to perform a search for individuals with a simple query, such as 'Locate anyone wearing a red scarf over the past 48 hours.'

ScienceDaily / 13h

Researchers co-led a study that will improve the detection of gravitational waves--ripples in space and time.

Breast cancer rates rising among Canadian women in their 20s, 30s and 40s

ScienceDaily / 10h

Rates of breast cancer in women under the age of 50 are rising in Canada according to a study which showed an increase in breast cancer diagnoses among females in their twenties, thirties, and forties.

From disorder to order: Flocking birds and 'spinning' particles

ScienceDaily / 11h

Researchers have demonstrated that ferromagnetism, an ordered state of atoms, can be induced by increasing particle motility and that repulsive forces between atoms are sufficient to maintain it. The discovery not only extends the concept of active matter to quantum systems but also contributes to the development of novel technologies that rely on the magnetic properties of particles, such as magn
