Exotic vibrations in new materials: New insights show universal applicability of carbyne as a sensor https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/06/exotic-vibrations-in-new-materials-new-insights-show-universal-applicability-of-carbyne-as-a-sensor https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/06/exotic-vibrations-in-new-materials-new-insights-show-universal-applicability-of-carbyne-as-a-sensor#respond Mon, 02 Jun 2025 06:04:34 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/06/exotic-vibrations-in-new-materials-new-insights-show-universal-applicability-of-carbyne-as-a-sensor

For the design of future materials, it is important to understand how the individual atoms inside a material interact with each other quantum mechanically. Previously inexplicable vibrational states between carbon chains (carbyne) and nanotubes have puzzled materials scientists.

Researchers from Austria, Italy, France, China and Japan led by the University of Vienna have now succeeded in getting to the bottom of this phenomenon with the help of Raman spectroscopy, innovative theoretical models and the use of machine learning. The results, published in Nature Communications, show the universal applicability of as a sensor due to its sensitivity to external influences.

For the design of future materials, it is important to understand how matter interacts on an atomic scale. These quantum mechanical effects determine all macroscopic properties of matter, such as electrical, magnetic, optical or . In experiments, scientists use Raman spectroscopy, in which light interacts with matter, to determine the vibrational eigenstates of the atomic nuclei of the samples.

A novel microscopic imaging technique, developed by Brown University engineers to capture 3D images using quantum entanglement, may finally solve the problem of phase wrapping.

Undergraduate students Moe (Yameng) Zhang and Wenyu Liu presented their work at the recent Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics. They worked on an independent project under the supervision of senior research associate Petr Moroshkin and Professor Jimmy Xu.

Anti-Aging Cocktail Extends Mouse Lifespan by About 30 Percent https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/05/anti-aging-cocktail-extends-mouse-lifespan-by-about-30-percent https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/05/anti-aging-cocktail-extends-mouse-lifespan-by-about-30-percent#respond Thu, 29 May 2025 22:04:53 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/05/anti-aging-cocktail-extends-mouse-lifespan-by-about-30-percent

Scientists in Europe have tested an anti-aging drug cocktail in mice and found that it extended the animals’ lifespans by around 30 percent. The mice stayed healthier for longer too, with less chronic inflammation and delayed cancer onset.

The two drugs are rapamycin and trametinib, which are both used to treat different types of cancer. Rapamycin is also often used to prevent organ rejection, and has shown promise in extending lifespans in animal tests. Trametinib, meanwhile, has been shown to extend the lifespan of fruit flies, but whether that worked in larger animals remained to be seen.

So for a new study, a research team led by scientists from the Max Planck Institute in Germany investigated how both drugs, on their own and together, could extend lifespan in mice.
