Phys.org / Mining critical materials is creating 'sacrifice zones' that harm water and health of world's poor
There is a troubling contradiction at the heart of the global transition to a cleaner, greener, tech-driven future: Modern technologies—everything from AI to wind turbines, as well as cellphones, electric vehicles and defense ...
Medical Xpress / Online program soothes post-trauma stress in injured children
Car crashes, sports injuries, bad falls, severe burns and other sources of trauma can leave lasting scars in the minds of children and teens.
Phys.org / Where was your backyard millions of years ago?
An international team of Earth scientists led by Utrecht professor Douwe van Hinsbergen has developed an online tool that allows you to see, for any given location on Earth, what latitude it occupied in the distant past, ...
Phys.org / Journalism classes lack a consistent approach to AI use across institutions
Artificial intelligence is steadily becoming more embedded in journalism; part of how journalists write, edit, research and more. But little is known about how future journalists are learning about the technology. New research ...
Phys.org / Roman cup unearthed in Spain may have been a keepsake representing a soldier's time at the Hadrian Wall
Archaeologists recently analyzed a broken, decorative cup found unexpectedly on a Spanish farm. The cup appears to represent Hadrian's Wall—a place 2,000 miles away—and a time period almost 2,000 years ago. The new study, ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists recruit red blood cells to deliver genetic cargo with instructions to kill cancer
Scientists have developed a way to turn the body's own immune cells into cancer-fighting agents—without removing them from the body—by using red blood cells to deliver genetic instructions. Current CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) ...
Phys.org / Western music is getting simpler and more repetitive by the day and data prove it
Ever had that moment when a song comes on and it feels strangely familiar, like it reminds you of another song that came out just a few months ago? If you feel this phenomenon has become more frequent, then you are not imagining ...
Phys.org / Physicists reveal universal speed limit on quantum information scrambling
Theoretical physicists in the US have discovered a "speed limit" on the time taken for quantum information to spread through larger systems. Publishing their results in Physical Review Letters, Amit Vikram and colleagues ...
Phys.org / Researchers develop highly efficient, durable catalyst for chlor-alkali electrolysis
Efficient and durable catalysts for the chlorine evolution reaction (CER) are critical for chlor-alkali and related brine electrolysis processes, but conventional anodic materials often struggle to balance catalytic activity, ...
Medical Xpress / Lung scans can reveal important differences in sarcoidosis severity according to new study
A new study by researchers at National Jewish Health and collaborating institutions has found that different patterns seen on lung scans can signal how severe sarcoidosis may be, and how it affects breathing. The research ...
Phys.org / Levitated nano-ferromagnet confirms a 160-year-old physical prediction
Ferromagnets, such as iron, cobalt, and nickel, are materials with a strong, spontaneous, and permanent magnetic field. Over 150 years ago, the physicist and mathematician James Clerk Maxwell speculated that under specific ...
Phys.org / Oldest burial in Patagonia reveals early human settlement along South America's Atlantic coast
The peopling of South America has long been debated, with various routes proposed for how they spread across the subcontinent. However, routes along the Atlantic coast were typically much younger than their Pacific counterparts, ...
