Tech Xplore / Ultrasonic device dramatically speeds harvesting of water from the air
Feeling thirsty? Why not tap into the air? Even in desert conditions, there exists some level of humidity that, with the right material, can be soaked up and squeezed out to produce clean drinking water. In recent years, ...
Medical Xpress / Social media use drives distrust among Gen Z teenage girls
Social media use in adolescence is linked to delayed bedtimes, negative self-image and, especially among teenage girls, greater distrust, a new UCL study shows.
Phys.org / Antarctic ice loss linked to 'storms' at ocean's subsurface
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have identified stormlike circulation patterns beneath the Antarctic ice shelves that are causing aggressive melting, with major implications ...
Phys.org / Five factors can assess human costs account of overshooting goals, experts suggest
In a Perspective, the authors suggest that the social and humanitarian impacts of overshooting the Paris Agreement's aspirational goal of a 1.5 degrees Celsius rise in global mean temperature remain largely unknown, despite ...
Phys.org / How would a 'drone wall' help stop incursions into European airspace?
Violations of national airspace by drones are on the rise in Europe. When European leaders discussed these events at a meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark, in October 2025, they responded by announcing plans for a defensive "drone ...
Phys.org / Andes glaciers will fail to buffer megadroughts by century's end, study suggests
In light of the ongoing fifteen-year megadrought in Chile, an international team of researchers, including Francesca Pellicciotti from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), addressed a bold future scenario. ...
Medical Xpress / Body's circadian rhythm may increase overnight cardiovascular risk in people with sleep apnea
New research suggests that the circadian system in people with obstructive sleep apnea may disrupt blood vessel function overnight, which may help explain the higher risk of nighttime heart attacks in people with sleep apnea.
Phys.org / Weather behind past heat waves could return far deadlier
The weather patterns that produced some of Europe's most extreme heat waves over the past three decades could prove far more lethal if they strike in today's hotter climate, pushing weekly deaths toward levels seen during ...
Tech Xplore / Combating climate change with better semiconductor manufacturing
The average global temperature has risen by 1.5 C since the pre-industrial era due to climate change, and it is poised to continue increasing. In response, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has developed the Global ...
Phys.org / Oregano oil shows promise as natural fire ant repellent
Since fire ants first came to the United States in the early 20th century, researchers have searched for ways to control their destructive spread and eradicate them from areas where people live.
Medical Xpress / Deep brain stimulation succeeds for 1 in 2 patients with treatment-resistant severe depression and anxiety in trial
Deep brain stimulation—implants in the brain that act as a kind of "pacemaker"—has led to clinical improvements in half of the participants with treatment-resistant severe depression in an open-label trial.
