First wearable device to monitor health by detecting gases emitted from and absorbed through the skin. Researchers at Northwestern University have developed the first wearable device capable of measuring gases both released from and absorbed by the skin. By analyzing these gases, the device introduces a novel method for assessing skin health. It can monitor […]

RIKEN scientists have discovered how to manipulate molybdenum disulfide into acting as a superconductor, metal, semiconductor, or insulator using a specialized transistor technique. By inserting potassium ions and adjusting conditions, they could trigger dramatic changes in the material’s electronic state—unexpectedly even turning it into a superconductor or insulator. This new level of control over a […]

Scientists have unveiled a cutting-edge quantum microscope that allows them to observe how electrons interact with strange atomic vibrations in twisted graphene, including a newly revealed “phason.” This phenomenon could help explain mysterious behaviors like superconductivity in materials rotated to the “magic angle.” The breakthrough, made possible by operating the microscope at cryogenic temperatures, marks […]

In the United States, middle-aged adults are more likely to experience loneliness than older adults, a pattern that is also observed only in the Netherlands. A recent peer-reviewed study published in Aging and Mental Health reveals that middle-aged Americans report some of the highest levels of loneliness among adults aged 50 to 90. The study […]
