Phys.org / Study warns of deadly future marine heat waves in East Coast estuaries
A first-of-its-kind study led by William & Mary's Batten School & VIMS is predicting estuaries along the East Coast of the U.S. will experience marine heat wave conditions for up to a third of the year by the end of the century. ...
Phys.org / Plants struggled for millions of years after the world's worst climate catastrophe, scientists reveal
A team of scientists from University College Cork (UCC), the University of Connecticut, and the Natural History Museum of Vienna have uncovered how plants responded to catastrophic climate changes 250 million years ago.
Medical Xpress / Engineered stem cells automatically deliver arthritis drugs at prescribed times of day
With nearly 1.5 million people suffering from rheumatoid and juvenile arthritis in the United States, researchers at Shriners Children's St. Louis have discovered a revolutionary way to potentially minimize flare-ups and ...
Tech Xplore / Perovskite solar cells reach new efficiency heights with novel additive
A small team of optical and solar cell specialists and electrical engineers affiliated with several institutions in China, and one in France, has found that adding pyrrodiazole to formamidinium iodide perovskite films can ...
Phys.org / A pinch of salt can steer colloids for improved water purification and drug delivery
The ability to better steer particles suspended in liquids could lead to better water purification processes, new drug delivery systems, and other applications. The key ingredient, say Yale researchers, is a pinch of salt.
Phys.org / Astronauts could replace their own mitochondria to treat radiation sickness
Skeptics love to bring up one particular topic regarding long-term human space exploration—radiation. So far, all of the research completed on it has been relatively limited and has shown nothing but harmful effects. Long-term ...
Medical Xpress / Neurostimulation shows promise as potential Alzheimer's treatment in preliminary trial
Repeated sessions of electrical stimulation to brain networks associated with memory improved verbal learning in some Alzheimer's disease patients for up to eight weeks in a preliminary trial led by UT Southwestern Medical ...

New research by Curtin University has achieved a breakthrough in eco-friendly display technology, creating highly efficient and stable blue quantum dot LEDs (QLEDs) that could power the next generation of televisions, smartphones, ...
Phys.org / Hubble spies a spiral in the constellation Hydra
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of a vibrant spiral galaxy called NGC 5042 resides about 48 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Hydra (the water snake). The galaxy nicely fills the frame of this ...
Medical Xpress / AI could be better than humans at predicting correlations between answers to personality test questions
Artificial intelligence (AI)-based models have proved to be promising tools for predicting some data trends and future outcomes with good accuracy. These models' ability to make predictions by analyzing data can be particularly ...
Phys.org / Indigenous languages: The pace of extinction is slower than expected—but still alarming
On average, every month across the globe, two Indigenous languages disappear, according to the United Nations. And 40% of the world's languages, mostly Indigenous, are threatened with long-term extinction as fewer and fewer ...
Tech Xplore / Tiny 'rhinoceros beetle' robot does micro-scale manipulation in extreme conditions
Engineers have designed a tiny, low-weight and cordless robot that can act independently and with ultra-high precision in all directions in some of the most extreme conditions. The robot, which the designers call "Holonomic ...
