Millennials desperate to digitally disconnect are being hindered by the fear of missing out (FoMo), social influences, and the increasing digitalization of tourism services, new research reveals. The study, which was carried out by the University of Greenwich, the University of East Anglia (UEA), and the University of Westminster, looked at Millennials’ attitudes to digital ...
New research led by Newcastle University has shown that it is the volume of water used during the wash cycle, rather than the spinning action of the washing machine, that is the key factor in the release of plastic microfibers from clothes. Stop using the delicate wash cycle to help save our seas. Millions of ...
Two University of Hawai’i at Mānoa researchers have identified and corrected a subtle error that was made when applying Einstein’s equations to model the growth of the universe that didn’t take into account certain characteristics of dark energy. Physicists usually assume that a cosmologically large system, such as the universe, is insensitive to details of ...
Scientists have confirmed for the first time that bacteria can change form to avoid being detected by antibiotics in the human body, which can lead to antibiotic resistance. Studying samples from elderly patients with recurring urinary tract infections, the Newcastle University team used state-of-the-art techniques to identify that bacteria can lose their cell walls — ...
Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize technology, medicine, and science by providing faster and more efficient processors, sensors, and communication devices. But transferring information and correcting errors within a quantum computer remains a challenge to making an effective quantum computer. In a paper published in the journal Nature, researchers from Purdue University and the University of Rochester, ...
K2-18b, which is eight times the mass of Earth, is now the only planet orbiting a star outside the Solar System, or “exoplanet,” known to have both water and temperatures that could support life. The discovery, published in Nature Astronomy, is the first successful atmospheric detection of an exoplanet orbiting in its star’s “habitable zone” ...
The mortuary house in question measured five by three meters. It had corner posts, and the walls were made of standing planks, in a building style similar to that used in early stave churches. Archaeologists could see that the building was solidly constructed, even though the only thing that remains is a rectangular ditch with ...
Coral reefs around the world, such as Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, are under increasing stress due to a combination of local and global factors. As such, long-term investigations are becoming increasingly important to understanding ecosystem responses. A new study — the longest coral reef survey to date — provides an in-depth look at Australia’s Great ...
Suppose Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity holds. In that case, a black hole, born from the cosmically quaking collisions of two massive black holes, should itself “ring” in the aftermath, producing gravitational waves much like a struck bell reverberating sound waves. Einstein predicted that these gravitational waves’ particular pitch and decay should be a ...
A gigantic, balloon-like structure has been hiding in plain sight, right in the center of our own galaxy. An international team of astronomers, including Northwestern’s Farhad Yusef-Zadeh, discovered the structure, which is one of the largest ever observed in the center of the Milky Way. The newly spotted pair of radio-emitting bubbles reach hundreds of ...
