No matter where you live in the United States, you have likely seen headlines about PFAS being detected in everything from drinking water to fish to milk to human bodies.
Phys.org / Research clarifies record-late monsoon onset, aiding northern Australian communities
Every year, Australia experiences a summer monsoon characterized by the reversal of winds, heavy rainfall, and flooding. In 2024–2025, however, the Australian summer monsoon (ASM) was the latest on record since measurements ...
Phys.org / The circular economy may not be taking off: Here are six ways stakeholders can make it happen
Around the world, governments and businesses are talking more and more about the need to move from today's "take, make, waste" economy to a circular one, where products are designed to last, materials stay in use, and waste ...
Phys.org / Fast-growing trees are taking over the forests of the future and putting biodiversity, climate resilience under pressure
Trees play a central role in life on Earth. They store CO₂, provide habitats for animals, fungi, and insects, stabilize soils, regulate water cycles, and supply resources that humans rely on—from timber and food to recreation ...
Phys.org / Superfluids are supposed to flow indefinitely. Physicists just watched one stop moving
Ordinary matter, when cooled, transitions from a gas into a liquid. Cool it further still, and it freezes into a solid. Quantum matter, however, can behave very differently. In the early 20th century, researchers discovered ...
Medical Xpress / Innovations in asthma care can improve the health of Detroiters living with this chronic disease
Researchers and doctors are beginning to modernize asthma treatment using innovative therapies.
Phys.org / Deforestation is drying out the Amazon rainforest faster than previously thought
Deforestation is having a more devastating effect on the Amazon rainforest than earlier data suggested. While cutting down large swaths of trees destroys vital habitats, it also harms the region's ability to generate its ...
Phys.org / Do trees prevent landslides? What science says about roots, rainfall and stability
In the days since last week's fatal landslides at Mount Maunganui, there has been widespread discussion about what may have caused the slopes above the campground to fail, including the possible role of recent tree removal ...
Phys.org / Just the smell of lynx can reduce deer browsing damage in recovering forests
New research shows that the mere smell of predators is enough to change deer behavior and limit browsing damage to tree saplings. The findings, published in the Journal of Applied Ecology, offer a potential tool for forest ...
Phys.org / The infant universe's 'primordial soup' was actually soupy, study finds
In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles zinged around at light speed, creating a "quark-gluon plasma" that lasted for only a few millionths ...
Phys.org / Surprising green ice on Lake Lipno: Cyanobacteria bloom in mid-winter
An unusual natural phenomenon appeared on Lake Lipno in South Bohemia, the Czech Republic, at the end of 2025. Large amounts of accumulated cyanobacteria in the water caused the ice to turn green. The phenomenon was thoroughly ...
Medical Xpress / New nanotherapy eases bone metastasis pain by disrupting tumor-nerve crosstalk
A new nano-sized drug carrier that finds bone tumors and releases treatment exactly where it's needed is here to improve the precision and comfort of cancer therapy. Designed by a team of researchers from China, this smart ...
