Phys.org / Escape hatch could spare undersized Arctic crabs
Researchers working in Norway's Barents Sea say a simple modification to snow crab pots could sharply reduce the number of undersized animals accidentally caught in the Arctic fishery.
Phys.org / How stories of personal experience cut through climate fatigue in ways that global negotiations can't
When Cop30 convened in Belém, deep inside the Amazon, the world's attention turned once again to negotiations, emissions pledges and political maneuvering. The global stage was set against one of Earth's most biodiverse ...
Medical Xpress / Hospital infections associated with higher risk of dementia
A large-scale meta-analysis, led by first author Wei Yu Chua from the National University of Singapore and corresponding author Eng-King Tan at the National Neuroscience Institute and Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore, ...
Phys.org / Experimental proof shows quantum world is even stranger than previously thought
The quantum world is famously weird—a single particle can be in two places at once, its properties are undefined until they are measured, and the very act of measuring a quantum system changes everything. But according ...
Medical Xpress / Evaluating the effectiveness of a state-level SNAP incentive program
When Eat Well, Be Well was launched in Rhode Island in January 2024, it was the first program of its kind in the country to offer a financial incentive for those in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to ...
Phys.org / After nearly 100 years, scientists may have detected dark matter
In the early 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed galaxies in space moving faster than their mass should allow, prompting him to infer the presence of some invisible scaffolding—dark matter—holding the galaxies ...
Medical Xpress / Reducing social media use for just a week can improve mental health
In a new study, published in JAMA Network Open, 295 participants report promising mental health benefits after reducing their social media usage for a week. The cohort consisted of young adults from the ages of 18 to 24—the ...
Tech Xplore / The world's most efficient solar cell: Chinese researchers explain how they designed and built it
Earlier in 2025, Chinese solar manufacturer Longi announced it had built the world's most efficient solar cell. The hybrid interdigitated back-contact (HIBC) cell achieved 27.81% efficiency, which was verified by Germany's ...
Phys.org / New X-ray method captures 3 image-contrast types in a single shot
University of Houston researchers developed a new X-ray imaging method capable of revealing hidden features in a single shot, a breakthrough that could advance cancer detection, disease monitoring, security screening and ...
Phys.org / Puzzling ultraviolet radiation in the birthplaces of stars
Researchers used the MIRI instrument onboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to identify the presence of ultraviolet radiation in five young stars in the Ophiuchus region, and to understand its role in the formation ...
Medical Xpress / Myeloid mimicry enables kidney tumors to resist immunotherapy and worsen rapidly, study finds
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have found that renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) cells use an adaptive mechanism called "myeloid mimicry" to hide from the immune system and promote disease ...
Phys.org / Adaptive method helps light-based quantum processors act more like neural networks
Machine learning models called convolutional neural networks (CNNs) power technologies like image recognition and language translation. A quantum counterpart—known as a quantum convolutional neural network (QCNN)—could ...
