Phys.org / How El Nino is choking the Panama Canal
The Panama Canal will restrict the number of vessels transiting the crucial waterway from Friday for only the second time because of drought caused by the El Niño climate phenomenon.
Medical Xpress / Novel PET/MRI approach improves detection of endometriosis in difficult-to-assess areas
A new PET/MRI technique that targets fibroblast activation protein (FAP) overexpressed in endometriosis is more effective at identifying lesions than conventional imaging. According to new research published in The Journal ...
Phys.org / France recorded 'hottest summer ever': Environment minister
France experienced its hottest summer on record in 2026, marked by heat waves, drought and massive wildfires, the environment minister said Thursday.
Phys.org / Soft nanoscale confinement prevents ice, exposing water's liquid-to-glass transition
An international collaboration of researchers has used ANSTO's facilities to uncover new properties of one of the most fundamental everyday materials, water, and answer an important scientific question. The findings, published ...
Phys.org / Tiny fossils reveal big insights about ant ancestors
Two tiny ant fossils recovered in southern Saskatchewan are helping scientists better understand the evolutionary history of modern ants. Ant fossils dating from 72–56 million years ago are rare. What happened to insects ...
Phys.org / Why doesn't Venus have a moon? A new study may have the answer
Venus is one of the solar system's most unusual planets. It may sometimes be called "Earth's twin" because of its similar size and density, but it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction of most planets, has surface ...
Phys.org / From peas to potatoes, AI identifies nearly 800 promising plant proteins for food and cosmetics
Scientists from Leeds' School of Food Science and Nutrition have developed an advanced AI process that can rapidly identify plant proteins capable of acting as emulsifiers from tens of millions of initial candidates. To date, ...
Phys.org / How an unassuming wildflower thrives in salt-laden air that kills other plants
On the windswept coasts of Oregon and California lives an unassuming little plant that can withstand salty blasts that kill its inland counterparts. It's called the yellow monkeyflower. Now, researchers are beginning to understand ...
Phys.org / Light-triggered interface lets adhesive peel cleanly and rebond through 15 cycles
Adhesives are essential in electronics, vehicles and other products, but they can hinder repair and recycling when bonded parts are difficult to separate cleanly. A research team led by The University of Osaka has developed ...
Phys.org / Hot subdwarfs come into focus as AI scans thousands of stars in Gaia data
There are myriad ways of "being a star," and scientists spend years trying to uncover and understand them. One unusual type is the so-called hot subdwarf—small stars that burn mysteriously hot for their size. Scientists from ...
Phys.org / Antarctic expedition reveals why Southern Ocean clouds remain one of climate science's greatest challenges
The Southern Ocean plays a pivotal role in regulating Earth's climate, yet the clouds that blanket this remote region remain among the least understood features in atmospheric science. By controlling both incoming sunlight ...
