Exactly solvable model reveals how trapped light can create magnetic order in one-dimensional spin chainsA research team wanted to better understand how the forces between particles inside a material change. They discovered that by confining one-dimensional classical spin chains inside a mirror box cavity with light, they could…European flounder can complete whole life cycle in freshwaterMost flounders sampled in Lake Pulmanki in northern Finland had spent their entire lives in freshwater. The study provides the first evidence of the species living entirely in freshwater. The work is published in Evolution.Industrialization reshapes gut microbes, from bacterial communities to their DNA, studies findThe totality of bacteria, viruses and fungi that exist in and on a multicellular organism forms its natural microbiome. The interactions between the body and these microorganisms significantly influence the host organism's…Not in a FEMA flood zone? Your home could still be at risk—and you could suffer more than your neighborIf your home isn't in a federally designated flood zone, flooding might seem like someone else's problem. No one requires you to buy flood insurance, and the map suggests you're in the clear. But reality may be very different.Molecular dinitrogen anions pave the way for low-temperature ammonia synthesisWhile ammonia (NH₃) is best known for its role in fertilizer production, it is attracting attention as a carbon-free hydrogen carrier, potentially offering a practical way to store and transport clean fuel. Despite this promise…According to science, you may be more likely to gain respect and status by helping othersHuman intelligence is still a bit of an enigma. Researchers have some ideas about why advanced intelligence evolved in humans, but they have not come to a conclusive answer. One prominent idea is that intelligence serves a social…This page holds the headline and a short snippet as published by Phys.org, whose feed they came from.
