Phys.org / Seagrass found to produce new genetic individuals rather than clone itself, offering hope for 'underwater meadows'
In many underwater ecosystems, seagrass meadows act as a food source, a safe haven, and an ecological lynchpin. But until now, very little was known about how these plants reproduce—critical information for conserving the ...
Science X / Hidden menstrual cycle patterns offer new way to track aging and long-term health
Scientists at SRI International in the US have developed an open-source tool designed to analyze the vast wealth of physiological data hidden within the menstrual cycle. Their long-term goal is to provide personalized health ...
Phys.org / Black holes may avoid singularities when charge and Hawking radiation combine, theoretical physicist argues
Black holes are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, even light, can escape. Einstein's theory of general relativity breaks down inside black holes, either by the presence of a so-called "curvature singularity" ...
Phys.org / Quantum supremacy just ran into an unexpected rival: An ordinary laptop armed with new math
Using a conventional computer and cutting-edge mathematical tools and code, physicists at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) at the Simons Foundation's Flatiron Institute and collaborators at Boston University ...
Phys.org / Ancient seas get a new T. rex as massive mosasaur emerges from Texas fossils
There's a new T. rex in the fossil record, only this one terrorized the ancient seas. New research led by scientists at the American Museum of Natural History, the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas, and Southern ...
Phys.org / 'Seed Transfer Zones' could help restore vast areas of degraded land in Brazil
A new study divides Brazil into 48 zones, each defined by its climate and soil conditions. Restoration projects can use these zones to identify which native seeds are best suited to each location under both current and future ...
Phys.org / Romania dig uncovers 350-square-meter megastructure in 45-house prehistoric settlement
Researchers from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have found new indications of how large prehistoric settlements were organized. Their research focused on a special type of building known as a megastructure. ...
Phys.org / Crystals of space and time: A structural phenomenon that may collapse into tiny black holes
A team from Vienna and Frankfurt has found a formula describing a strange phenomenon: Space and time can form a kind of "crystal" that may turn into a black hole. The results are described in Physical Review Letters.
Medical Xpress / Can AI help predict how you might be feeling in the future?
From the weather to sports to the performance of the stock market, predictions are a regular feature of our lives. Most of these sectors rely on past data and models that can give us a decent sense of what to expect in the ...
Phys.org / NASA's AWE instrument completes mission to study Earth's effect on space weather
On May 21, ground controllers powered down NASA's AWE (Atmospheric Waves Experiment) instrument, bringing the data collection phase of the mission to a successful and scheduled end, surpassing its planned two-year mission.
Tech Xplore / New earphone design verifies users by their heartbeat, simplifying authentication
The use of biometric data in personal devices has been popular with consumers for tracking things like heart rate and sleep stages, but it is becoming increasingly common for identification purposes too. Identifying data ...
Phys.org / Television news coverage of climate policy is limited and polarized in the US, study finds
Two-thirds of Americans want action on climate change, but people vastly underestimate public support for climate solutions and policy. Historically, U.S. news outlets overrepresented views on climate change that went against ...
