Phys.org / NASA space telescope maps magnetic fields of 'Lighthouse' pulsar
For the first time, scientists have used NASA's IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) to directly measure the magnetic fields of PSR J1101−6101, a pulsar located within what is often referred to as the Lighthouse Nebula. ...
Phys.org / Genomic study of the Asian house shrew reveals a complex history of Indo-Pacific trade and human migration
Sometimes mistaken for a strange-looking mouse with a long, pointed snout, the Asian house shrew is a small, furry animal known for its musky odor. It's usually found lurking near homes and farms, ports and cities, across ...
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired hardware brings faster, lower-power anomaly detection to AI systems
The brain's cerebellum doesn't waste energy analyzing every moment. Instead, it constantly monitors the world for the unexpected—and springs into action only when something suddenly changes.
Phys.org / New model maps solar storms across 1 million miles around Earth
A team at the Applied Physics Lab is working to understand the complex science behind predicting invisible threats that can quickly cripple electric grid infrastructure on Earth.
Phys.org / Study links newspaper closures to distorted crime reporting
Local newspapers serve as a vital check on public institutions, including law enforcement, according to new research from the University at Buffalo School of Management. Published in the American Journal of Criminal Justice, ...

Phys.org / Hidden health risks found in New York City's free-roaming cats
Cats may be cute and adorable, but stray and feral cats can sometimes pose a risk to human health. Veterinary researchers have discovered that more than 50% of free-roaming cats in New York City carry parasites that could ...
Phys.org / Could exoplanets locked in eternal day and endless night support life?
Ever so slightly bigger than Earth, the exoplanet LHS 3844b orbits its parent star, LHS 3844, a red dwarf 48.5 light-years from our solar system. Its rotational speed mirrors its orbital speed. The result? One side of LHS ...
