And they have found a way to control what gets produced. The discovery could eventually contribute to the development of…Electrical signals reveal hidden magnetic information in altermagnets for first timeResearchers have experimentally demonstrated, for the first time, that it is possible to obtain from an altermagnet a spin current that can transport magnetic information. This result is supported by the theoretical model of…Newly discovered amoeba reproduces at 145 F, breaking heat record for eukaryotic lifeOrganisms are products of the environments they live and evolve in. While the physical world is governed by universal laws like thermodynamics and gravity, there are few laws of biology. An open question for biologists like me is…Planetary collisions may help young worlds hold on to their atmospheresA new study lets some of the air out of a long-held theory that growing, rocky planets will lose their atmosphere if they smash into a large object in space.Fresh as the microplastic-laden Sierra snow: Storms can deliver pollution to even remote locationsFor the first time, UC Riverside scientists have measured how much microplastic pollution falls on the Sierra Nevada during snowstorms and were surprised to find significant amounts even in the most remote locations.This page holds the headline and a short snippet as published by Phys.org, whose feed they came from.
