Phys.org / Peculiar core-collapse supernova breaks the mold with a long, dim plateau
Astronomers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have employed the Lijiang 2.4-m telescope to perform optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of a core-collapse Type IIP supernova designated SN 2024abfl. ...
Phys.org / Back-to-back Amazon droughts trigger record forest stress
Two back-to-back droughts in 2023 and 2024 caused the most severe decline in forest moisture and biomass (the total mass of living vegetation such as leaves, trunks and branches) in the Amazon since 1992, according to a study ...
Medical Xpress / Not wanting to eat protein may be early herald of cancer cachexia
A majority of people with advanced cancers endure cachexia, a muscle-, fat-, and organ-wasting condition that is currently incurable and can be life-threatening. Detecting and intervening early can slow progression, but poor ...
Phys.org / Using menstrual blood-derived particles to treat osteoarthritis
New research by an interdisciplinary team in Lithuania has revealed a promising and unconventional approach to cartilage regeneration. Using extracellular vesicles derived from menstrual blood stromal cells, the researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Women's immune systems show bigger age-related changes than men's, study reveals
Statistics show clear differences in the population's immune system according to sex: men are more susceptible to infections and cancers, while women have stronger immune responses, which translate, for example, into better ...
Medical Xpress / A lung cancer that changes its identity may be hiding in plain sight
A new study co-led by the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) shows that some lung cancers can change identity as they evolve, shifting from one cancer type to another in ways that may make them more aggressive and harder ...
Phys.org / The Cascadia Subduction Zone isn't shutting down—but it's more complicated than previously thought
Recent seismic imaging off Vancouver Island has revealed something extraordinary: a tear in the subducting oceanic plate beneath the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The finding briefly raised the public's hopes that Cascadia might ...
Tech Xplore / Why are communities pushing back against data centers?
Data centers, which house computer systems that help train AI models, are blanketing the country, a boom fueled by surging interest in AI and state tax breaks. More than 4,000 are already in operation, mostly in Virginia, ...
Phys.org / Tropical cyclone Narelle struck three major reef systems in one epic trek
Coral reefs are important in many ways, but they also play a major role in protecting much of the world's coastlines from erosion by blocking up to 90% of incoming wave energy. During a tropical cyclone, the waves breaking ...
Phys.org / Unlocking Earth's 4.5-billion-year secret: The case of the missing lead
Geoscientists have long relied on different forms of lead to understand Earth's geological history and how it was created over billions of years. However, there is a mystery that has been puzzling scientists for decades: ...
Tech Xplore / When AI meets muscle: Context-aware electrical stimulation guides humans through new movements
Imagine traveling in a foreign country, reaching for a window you've never seen before, and instead of struggling to open it, you feel your own muscles gently guide you through the motion, as if an invisible teacher was there, ...
Phys.org / Glaciers rapidly declining, with extreme losses in 2025
Earth's glaciers are continuing to shrink at alarming rates, with new international research revealing that 2025 was among the worst years on record for global ice loss. Published in the Climate Chronicles collection of Nature ...
