Phys.org / Antarctica is offering 30 to 50 years' worth of warning on sea level rise, models suggest
Scientists predict that the next three to five decades provide a critical window to anticipate and plan for Antarctic ice loss and its contribution to sea level rise. Research published in Nature, led by Monash University ...
Medical Xpress / How people use music shapes their emotional experiences, new study finds
A new study from the University of Jyväskylä shows who is more likely to experience mixed emotions while listening to music—and that our relationship with music is more complex and nuanced than we might assume. The study ...
Phys.org / Pumice rafts encroach on Admiralty Islands
On May 8, 2026, satellites detected signs of an unexpected submarine volcanic eruption in the Bismarck Sea near the islands of Papua New Guinea. Over the next several weeks, plumes of steam and ash streamed over the sea, ...
Science X / Deep in Libya's Sahara, tiny primate fossils are rewriting how our ancient cousins got to Africa
Hidden beneath the scorched expanse of the central Libyan Sahara lies a prehistoric graveyard that was once a lush, green gateway to a continent. For decades, the origin of Africa's higher primates has been one of evolution's ...
Tech Xplore / Shake-powered capsule tests and disinfects unsafe drinking water
It is a sobering fact that in the 21st century, 1 in 4 people still lack access to safe, clean drinking water, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The figures increase slightly during natural disasters, when ...
Medical Xpress / Nordic walking significantly reduces depression symptoms in as little as five weeks, trial finds
Walking with poles is often associated with trekking, but these accessories are part of a very effective aerobic activity called Nordic walking. The specially designed poles make it a full-body exercise that engages up to ...
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: Intermittent fasting and chronic stress; macroscopic entanglement; gamma-ray bursts
Researchers reported this week a deadly outbreak of plague in Siberia 5,500 years ago, revealing that Yersinia pestis evolved lethal genetic traits far earlier than suspected. A drug developed for heart tissue repair may ...
Phys.org / AI-designed protein unlocks virus-like shells that could reshape vaccine and drug delivery
An international research team led by a Korean scientist has succeeded in designing large-scale protein structures that faithfully replicate the self-assembly principles found in naturally occurring viruses, using artificial ...
Phys.org / Novel generative AI model enables atomic-scale prediction of protein-protein interactions
Proteins are the molecular workhorses of the human body. They perform a vast range of essential functions, from building tissues and transporting molecules to regulating cellular communication and defending against infection. ...
Phys.org / Infrared navigation lets magnetic nanorobots deliver drugs with real-time precision tracking
Nanorobots have shown great promise in precision medicine over the past few decades. Yet one key challenge remains: how to track and guide these tiny devices in real time as they move through complex physiological environments. ...
Phys.org / Australian farmers are desperate to escape the latest mouse plague—and may soon get relief
For months, a flood of mice has engulfed Western Australia's agricultural regions. For people living through it, this latest mouse plague is all-consuming. Houses, sheds, paddocks and roads are blanketed with mice. And the ...
Phys.org / Training class increases time fathers spend with children and on housework, improving mothers' access to work
