Phys.org / Analysis of Diplodocus dinosaur scales reveals possible speckled color patterning
Scientists have long been trying to reconstruct the appearance of dinosaurs. The tidbits they are able to piece together from fossils and other analysis are displayed in museums, educational materials, and media, lending ...
Phys.org / Tiny optical modulator could enable giant future quantum computers
Researchers have made a major advance in quantum computing with a new device that is nearly 100 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
Medical Xpress / Drug resistance in pancreatic cancer: Scientists pinpoint major and minor signaling pathways that drive it
Cancer drug resistance is the devastating reason that treatments fail and cancers metastasize, spreading to distant sites seeding new resistant tumors elsewhere in the body.
Phys.org / Polar bears may be adapting to survive warmer climates, says study
New research reveals a link between rising temperatures and changes in polar bear DNA, which may be helping them adapt and survive in increasingly challenging environments.
Phys.org / Searchable Bronze Age site database could help answer key questions about ancient Anatolia
To boost our understanding of a little-known civilization that thrived more than 3,000 years ago, scientists have built an easy-to-use digital catalog of 483 Bronze Age sites in western Anatolia.
Medical Xpress / Early childhood adversity can disrupt brain networks and result in lifelong health burden
Scientists have known for some time that people who experience early childhood adversity are more prone to developing health and behavioral issues in adulthood, but the brain mechanisms behind these disparities are not well ...
Phys.org / Why do raccoons cross the road? Research shows they don't
A new study led by researchers from Saint Louis University, the Saint Louis Zoo, and partner organizations recently set out to understand how raccoons use space in one of the nation's largest urban parks.
Tech Xplore / Tumbleweed aerodynamics inspire hybrid robots for harsh terrains
A new study published in Nature Communications details a hybrid robot that combines the wind-driven mobility of tumbleweeds with active quadcopter control, offering a new paradigm for energy-efficient terrestrial exploration.
Phys.org / How Earth's mantle locked away vast amounts of water in early magma ocean
Some 4.6 billion years ago, Earth was nothing like the gentle blue planet we know today. Frequent and violent celestial impacts churned its surface and interior into a seething ocean of magma—an environment so extreme that ...
Tech Xplore / New system efficiently explains AI judgments in real-time
A research team led by Professor Jaesik Choi of KAIST's Kim Jaechul Graduate School of AI, in collaboration with KakaoBank Corp, has developed an accelerated explanation technology that can explain the basis of an artificial ...
Medical Xpress / Non-opioid 'pain sponge' therapy shows promise for chronic pain relief and halting cartilage degeneration
SereNeuro Therapeutics, a preclinical biotechnology company developing non-opioid pain therapies, has unveiled new data on a novel approach to chronic pain management and joint tissue preservation. The data highlight SN101, ...
Phys.org / Dual substitution induces room-temperature ferromagnetism and negative thermal expansion in BiFeO₃
Using a dual-cation substitution approach, researchers at Science Tokyo introduced ferromagnetism into bismuth ferrite, a well-known and promising multiferroic material for next-generation memory technologies. By replacing ...
