Phys.org / Outdoor lights may keep mosquitoes biting and breeding deeper into autumn

In some parts of the world, autumn brings welcome relief from mosquitoes, such as the Northern house mosquito (Culex pipiens). As the days grow shorter, the waning light is a signal for them to enter a winter state of dormancy ...

Phys.org / Catalysts that prevent boil-off losses in liquid hydrogen production hold promise for a hydrogen-energy society

A joint research team has discovered high-performance catalysts capable of significantly reducing "boil-off losses," which had been a longstanding issue in liquid hydrogen storage and transportation. These composite catalysts, ...

Phys.org / Predator-triggered orange tails may help tadpoles survive by redirecting deadly bites

Bright colors in animals are beautiful but often considered risky because they are more obvious to predators. However, conspicuous colors can also serve defensively, signaling toxicity or even luring predators away from more ...
