Radar data from an agricultural area in South Africa, shown in a vivid color palette, reveal crop types and how they changed during the Southern Hemisphere's growing season.
Phys.org / IceCube detects break in cosmic neutrino spectrum, ruling out simple power-law model
A new study published in Physical Review Letters by the IceCube Collaboration reports evidence that the energy spectrum of astrophysical neutrinos is not a simple straight line.
Phys.org / Mars's manganese 'bathtub ring' reveals ancient ocean timeline and its potential for life
Past research has indicated Mars's largest northern basin, Utopia Planitia, was once the location of a large body of water, but details surrounding when this body of water may have existed have not been resolved. Researchers ...
Phys.org / Diamond quantum sensor could reveal elusive altermagnets
For nearly a century, there were two known kinds of magnets. Ferromagnets are the classic magnets that attract metal and keep pictures stuck to the refrigerator. Antiferromagnets hide their magnetism at the atomic scale but ...
Phys.org / Fish-microbe partnership may influence ocean health by making carbon-trapping minerals
New research reveals a potential link between the gut microbes of a fish and global ocean processes, offering new insight into how marine ecosystems help regulate ocean chemistry and the marine carbon cycle. The study, titled ...
Phys.org / Tardigrades reveal extreme heat-blocking survival trick while in tun state
Tardigrades, also known as water bears or moss piglets, are tiny eight-legged animals that can survive in extreme environments, where humans and most other animals would die. This resistance to extreme conditions, including ...

Moving more and sitting less could lower the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Phys.org / Predator-triggered orange tails may help tadpoles survive by redirecting deadly bites
Bright colors in animals are beautiful but often considered risky because they are more obvious to predators. However, conspicuous colors can also serve defensively, signaling toxicity or even luring predators away from more ...
Phys.org / Are taxpayers being gaslighted by street lamp charm?
Gas streetlights might look quaint, but researchers at the University of Cincinnati say they are costly, wasteful and release toxic pollutants into the air. In two studies examining their use in Boston, Massachusetts, and ...
Tech Xplore / Outdated power market rules could raise renewable energy costs, dissertation concludes
The transition to renewable energy is not just about installing more solar panels and wind turbines. Without smarter market rules, the energy transition could become unnecessarily expensive and deepen inequality. That is ...
Phys.org / Plants hit the brakes on immunity to survive viral infections
When viruses invade a plant, you might expect an all-out immune war. But new research published in Science shows that, much like in humans, too strong an immune response can actually do more harm than good.
