Phys.org / Climate-sensitive tropical pollinators require region-responsive conservation planning, study argues
Pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and beetles, shape global food production and support vast natural ecosystems. For years, efforts to protect these critical species have leaned on broad global targets and uniform ...
Phys.org / Oldest mule in western Europe found in early Iron Age burial site
Researchers from the Prehistoric Studies and Research Seminar and the Institute of Archaeology of the University of Barcelona have identified the oldest mule documented in the western Mediterranean and continental Europe, ...
Phys.org / Simulations reveal how black holes generate intense light from infalling matter
Surprisingly, some of the universe's brightest objects are black holes. As scorching gas and dust flow around and into a black hole, they glow with fierce intensity across the light spectrum. Now, a team of computational ...
Medical Xpress / Does mental illness have a silver lining? New paper says yes
An estimated one in five U.S. adults live with mental illnesses, conditions that are almost universally characterized by their negative consequences. But there are also positive attributes associated with psychological disorders— ...
Phys.org / Missing transporter protein found: How rice distributes iron to young leaves
Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for the healthy growth of plants, including many staple crops like rice. Its deficiency remains a common agricultural problem that slashes crop yields, as it leads to impaired photosynthesis, ...
Phys.org / Heat can cut insect survival but boost reproduction, study shows
Rising global temperatures are changing the rules for survival—and reproduction—for many species. A new study from Saint Louis University reveals that predicting which species will persist under climate change is more ...
Phys.org / Pinning down spinless glueballs: New look at hidden structure inside subatomic particles
SUNY Poly Professor of Physics Dr. Amir Fariborz recently published a paper in Physical Review D titled "Spinless glueballs in generalized linear sigma model." The work takes on a central challenge in modern physics: understanding ...
Tech Xplore / Alternative solvent helps produce environmentally-friendly tin perovskite solar cells
Perovskite solar cells are widely regarded as the next generation photovoltaic technology. However, they are not yet stable enough in the long term for widespread commercial use. One reason for this is migrating ions, which ...
