Phys.org / Lahontan Basin cave burials 'neither rare nor uncommon,' says new study
In a study published in American Antiquity, Dr. David Madsen and his colleagues address the proposition that the lower Lahontan drainage basin (LLDB), located in the Intermountain West, is "unique" for the use of caves and ...
Phys.org / Pulsar timing hints at a nearby dark matter 'sub-halo'
A group of US astronomers may have uncovered the first evidence for a dark matter sub-halo lurking just beyond our stellar neighborhood. Reporting their findings in Physical Review Letters, a team led by Sukanya Chakrabarti ...
Phys.org / Webb unveils nature of distant ultraviolet-luminous galaxy CEERS2-588
Astronomers from the University of Tokyo in Japan and elsewhere have employed the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe a distant ultraviolet-luminous galaxy known as CEERS2-588. Results of the observational campaign, ...
Phys.org / Achieving sustainable electrosynthesis of ethylamine at an industrial scale
From dyes to pharmaceuticals to emulsifiers—ethylamine (EA) is a versatile component used in many industries. The downside of EA is that its production is terribly complicated and energy intensive. However, it is not a ...
Tech Xplore / Why bitcoin is losing its luster after stratospheric rise
Bitcoin, the world's biggest cryptocurrency, sank this week, wiping out gains sparked by Donald Trump's presidential election victory in November 2024.
Medical Xpress / Researchers identify two emerging animal viruses as potential global health threats
Infectious disease experts are sounding the alarm about two pathogens in animals that have the potential to trigger the next major health crisis.
Medical Xpress / PRISM reanalyzes 4,400 tumors, reshaping the debate over tumor microbiomes
When scientists sequence tumor DNA, they typically find small amounts of genetic code from bacteria, viruses and fungi—microorganisms that—if actually present in tumor tissues—could influence how they grow, evade immunity ...
Medical Xpress / The reason why many older Americans skip seasonal vaccines
Many middle-aged folks and seniors are shrugging off their annual flu or COVID-19 shot for a very simple reason, a new survey has found.
Phys.org / What to do when your home is at risk of falling into the sea—the hard choices facing Britain's storm-battered coasts
Recent storms washed away large sections of roads in the UK after sea defenses were damaged. For residents, it was a shock. But for coastal scientists, it was not unexpected.
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: Imaginative bonobos; cannabis brain benefits; sneaky beetles
This week in science news: Nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas, may break down more rapidly in the atmosphere than previously thought due to climate change. A new, experimental pill dramatically reduces bad cholesterol. ...
Phys.org / New type of magnetism discovered in 2D materials
In collaboration with international partners, researchers at the University of Stuttgart have experimentally demonstrated a previously unknown form of magnetism in atomically thin material layers. The discovery is highly ...
Phys.org / Keeping long-term climate simulations stable and accurate with a new AI approach
Hybrid climate modeling has emerged as an effective way to reduce the computational costs associated with cloud-resolving models while retaining their accuracy. The approach retains physics-based models to simulate large-scale ...
