We commonly consider spiritual practices sources of peace and inspiration. A recent study led by researchers of the University of Vienna shows that they can also be experienced differently: Many persons feel bored during these practices – and this can have far-reaching consequences.
At the end of January, Empa opened a new laboratory that aims to harness quantum effects from carbon. This could pave the way for sustainable quantum technologies, including quantum computers. The project is supported by the Werner Siemens Foundation.
Using super-sensitive detectors smaller than a stamp, a new experiment is searching for dark matter at masses no other experiment has explored.

To overcome these limitations, a research team led by Dr. Tae Ann Kim of the Convergence Research Center for Solutions to Electromagnetic Interference in Future-mobility (SEIF) at Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a new polymeric material with self-healing capabilities and high recyclability.
Teens and adults who started on stimulant medications for ADHD during via telehealth were on the whole no more likely to develop substance use disorders a year later, but young adults age 26-34 did have a higher risk. The findings could inform telehealth policy.
New AI defense method shields models from adversarial attacks
A team of Tufts University researchers created Morpho, an open-source programmable environment that enables researchers and engineers to conduct shape optimization and design for soft materials. Applications can be for anything from artificial hearts to robot materials that mimic flesh and soft tissue.
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital used positron emission tomography (PET) with edaravone, a drug used to treat ALS, to detect oxidative stress, which leads to brain damage, offering a clear path to detecting neurological conditions.
Cancer cells have an insatiable appetite for energy as they multiply more rapidly than normal cells. Greedy cancer cells hijack various cellular functions to find and exploit energy and other resources, including a group of enzymes that help normal cells maintain a balance of energy.
Cutting edge technology may come with downsides
Women diagnosed with chronic conditions, such as osteoarthritis, multiple sclerosis and diabetes, experiencing poor sleep are at a higher risk of needing mobility aids sooner in life. Addressing sleep issues in these women may be crucial to better mobility.
Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its grasp to avoid damaging or mishandling whatever it holds.
During his first visit to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Energy Secretary Chris Wright compared the urgency of the lab’s World War II beginnings to today’s global race to lead in artificial intelligence, calling for a “Manhattan Project 2.”
Measles cases are rising in the U.S., with Pennsylvania reporting its first case this year. A Penn State Health pediatric infectious disease physician answers your questions about the highly contagious virus and why vaccination remains the best defense.
Not every new technology meets the needs of every higher education setting. Joshua Owolabi, PhD, FAcadMEd, an associate professor at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, South Georgia, recently developed the ASIC (Adaptation, Standardization, Integration, and Compliance) Framework to determine the appropriateness of new technology.
在不通电的情况下，玻璃具有将信息长期甚至无限期保存的潜力。因此数十年来，研究人员一直在探索将数据存储在玻璃中的方法。一种称为光致变色玻璃的特殊材料能够在不同波长下呈现不同颜色，有望用于实现稳定、可重复使用的数据存储。研究人员近期开发出一种掺杂光致变色玻璃，有望无限期存储可重写数据。该研究发表在 ACS Energy Letters 上。
A genetic mutation in mice affects cells required for sexual reproduction and holds clues about male infertility that could pave the way for new treatments and male contraceptives, a Rutgers University–New Brunswick researcher and colleagues have discovered. Writing in Nature Communications, Devanshi Jain, an assistant professor with the Department of Genetics at the School of Arts and Sciences, addresses a fundamental question about how humans and animals develop germ cells that go on to form sperm.
Cement manufacturing and repair could be significantly improved by using biocement-producing bacteria, but growing the microbes at construction sites remains a challenge. Now, researchers report a freeze-drying approach in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces that preserves the bacteria, potentially allowing construction workers to ultimately use powder out of a packet to quickly make tiles, repair oil wells or strengthen the ground for makeshift roads or camps.
Researchers carefully positioned lasers to compress billions of electrons together, creating a beam five times more powerful than ever before.
