It's getting crowded up there. Over the past few years, the advent of SpaceX's Starlink and other players in the mega-satellite constellation game are adding an exponential load of satellites and orbital debris to the low ...
Phys.org / Physicists figure out how to reduce formation of 'viscous fingers'
When they reach the bottom of a soap dispenser, frugal handwashers might try adding water to the bottle to push out the last bit of soap. But usually, the water drills right through the soap and jets out an only slightly ...
Phys.org / Saturday citations: Two T. rexes and new exercise guidance that scientists are not calling 'easy'
John Hammond voice: "Welcome... to Saturday Citations." We're talking about different types of T. rexes today, along with some unwelcome news about cardiovascular health, but this week also brought news about the connection ...

At least 16 people have died of heatstroke in southern India so far this summer, officials said Sunday, as a heat wave grips swathes of the country following official health warnings.
Phys.org / Molecule-in-a-crystal system could boost quantum computing via chemically engineered qubits
Within a crystal's atomic structure, tiny atomic-scale flaws will naturally occur where electrons can become trapped. These defects have emerged as one of the leading platforms for quantum information processing. Through ...
Science X / A whale meets itself at last: Belugas may have crossed a cognition line to join an elite group of animals
For humans, recognizing our reflection comes naturally, and we barely give it a second thought. Called mirror self-recognition (MSR), it is widely considered a sign of self-awareness and cognitive development. In the animal ...
Medical Xpress / Thermoreversible biogel may solve a hairy problem for wearable brain-monitoring systems
A vital tool for health care practitioners, electroencephalography (EEG) systems measure electrical activity in the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp, but getting reliable readings can be surprisingly difficult. ...
Phys.org / Solar activity follows an 11‑year cycle. Here's how it controls eruptions and solar flares
When you look up at the sky on a sunny day, the sun might seem like a bright spot, unchanging in the sky. But the sun is a complex, dynamic celestial body, wrapped in electrical currents and magnetic fields that constantly ...
Science X / Hidden menstrual cycle patterns offer new way to track aging and long-term health
Scientists at SRI International in the US have developed an open-source tool designed to analyze the vast wealth of physiological data hidden within the menstrual cycle. Their long-term goal is to provide personalized health ...
