389 MXene breakthrough boosts conductivity 160x with perfect atomic order

ScienceDaily
ScienceDaily · 04/04/2026 04:32 EDT

A new breakthrough is transforming MXenes—ultra-thin, high-tech materials—into something far more powerful and precise. Researchers have developed a cleaner, more controlled way to build these materials using molten salts and iodine, eliminating the messy chemical processes that once left their surfaces disordered. The result is a perfectly arranged atomic structure that lets electrons flow with remarkable ease, boosting conductivity by up to 160 times.

Research suggests the habit of deferring happiness — ‘I’ll enjoy life when the kids leave, when I retire, when things calm down’ — isn’t patience, it’s a pattern that simply moves the horizon forward no matter how much you achieve

New research reveals that people who habitually postpone happiness while waiting for the "perfect moment" actually experience more negative emotions in their daily lives, creating a self-defeating cycle where contentment remains perpetually out of reach. Read more

Эволюция людей как вида идёт всё время

Совсем недавно вышло огромное по массе данных исследование. И сразу часть "журналистов" стали орать, что мол доказано, европеоиды умнее других рас, потому что... Ну короче вот мол исследование и оно это доказало. Ответ научный - ложь. В исследовании просто подтвердили, что в результате падения уровня жизни в силу войн или природных катаклизмов ( а обычно это шло парами ), начинают лучше выживать более умные и сдержанные, а психически нестабильные и...

A surprising new study suggests that eating a very healthy diet—packed with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—might be linked to a higher risk of lung cancer in younger non-smokers. Researchers found that patients under 50 diagnosed with lung cancer often had better-than-average diets, raising the possibility that pesticide exposure from conventionally grown produce could be a hidden culprit.

Researchers have shown that blending quantum computing with AI can dramatically improve predictions of complex, chaotic systems. By letting a quantum computer identify hidden patterns in data, the AI becomes more accurate and stable over time. The method outperformed standard models while using far less memory. This could have big implications for fields like climate science, energy, and medicine. Read more

As the Moon swallowed the Sun during the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse, something remarkable happened on the ground—cities went eerily quiet. Scientists analyzing seismic data found that human-generated vibrations, usually caused by traffic, construction, and daily activity, dropped sharply during totality. The effect was so pronounced that it created a clear “seismic hush” across urban areas directly in the eclipse’s path, before quickly rebounding afterward. Read more

Some of the ocean’s fastest and most fearsome predators—like great white sharks and tuna—are running hotter than expected, and it’s costing them dearly. New research shows these warm-bodied fish burn nearly four times more energy than cold-blooded species, forcing them to eat more while also struggling to shed excess heat. As oceans warm, this creates a dangerous “double jeopardy”: rising temperatures push them closer to overheating, while shrinking food supplies... Read more

Scientists drilling deep beneath Greenland’s ice have uncovered a startling clue about its past—and future. Evidence shows that the Prudhoe Dome, a major high point of the ice sheet, completely melted around 7,000 years ago during a relatively mild natural warming period. That means this supposedly stable ice cap is far more fragile than once thought, raising concerns that today’s human-driven warming could trigger similar or even faster ice loss. Read more

That “magic” sponge under your sink may be hiding an environmental downside. While melamine sponges are famous for effortlessly scrubbing away stubborn stains, they slowly break down as you use them—shedding tiny plastic fibers that wash into water systems. Researchers estimate that globally, these sponges could release over a trillion microplastic fibers every month, potentially entering the food chain and affecting wildlife. Read more

Sitting all day might not be as damaging as once feared—if you’re willing to move more. A massive study tracking over 72,000 people found that simply increasing daily steps can significantly reduce the risk of death and heart disease, even for those who spend long hours sedentary. Hitting around 9,000–10,000 steps a day delivered the biggest benefits, cutting mortality risk by nearly 40% and cardiovascular disease by over 20%. Read more

By watching these jets get pushed and bent by the fierce stellar winds of a nearby supergiant... Read more
