Phys.org / Sea levels are rising—but in Greenland, they will fall
Even as global warming causes sea levels to rise worldwide, sea levels around Greenland will likely drop, according to a new paper published in Nature Communications. "The Greenland coastline is going to experience quite ...
Phys.org / The shape of things to come: How spheroid geometry guides multicellular orbiting and invasion
As organisms develop from embryos, groups of cells migrate and reshape themselves to form all manner of complex tissues. There are no anatomical molds shaped like lungs, livers or other tissues for cells to grow into. Rather, ...
Phys.org / Heat waves are reshaping the behavior of Western Australia's western ringtail possum
Extreme heat is forcing Western Australia's critically endangered western ringtail possum (Ngwayir) to cut back on vital activity and feeding, new research shows.
Phys.org / Using AI to keep CRISPR technology in-check
Last year, a ten-month-old baby in the US was the first person in the world to have their rare genetic disease effectively cured through the use of CRISPR gene editing technology. But the rollout of CRISPR across a wide range ...
Medical Xpress / Racism packs a punch for those enduring it over a lifetime
Black Americans die younger than their White counterparts, with an estimated 1.63 million "excess" deaths having occurred between 1999 and 2020. These excess deaths are predominantly attributable to chronic conditions like ...
Phys.org / Physicists eye emerging technology for solar cells in outer space
Solar cells face significant challenges when deployed in outer space, where extremes in the environment decrease the efficiency and longevity they enjoy back on Earth. University of Toledo physicists are taking on these challenges ...
Phys.org / Arctic seas are getting louder as ice melts, posing risks: Study shows how to better measure noise
The Arctic is experiencing a steady rise in human-generated underwater noise as melting ice and increasing activity open the region to greater vessel traffic, with major implications for wildlife and local communities. New ...
Phys.org / Software allows scientists to simulate nanodevices on a supercomputer
From computers to smartphones, from smart appliances to the internet itself, the technology we use every day only exists thanks to decades of improvements in the semiconductor industry, that have allowed engineers to keep ...
Medical Xpress / Nearly half of CDC surveillance databases have halted updates, raising concerns about health data gaps
An audit of U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) public databases found that nearly half of routinely updated federal health surveillance systems had stopped or delayed updates in 2025, raising concerns that ...
Phys.org / From fleeting to stable: Scientists uncover recipe for new carbon dioxide-based energetic materials
When materials are compressed, their atoms are forced into unusual arrangements that do not normally exist under everyday conditions. These configurations are often fleeting: when the pressure is released, the atoms typically ...
Phys.org / New white paper on rebuilding trust at work amid AI-driven change and burnout published
University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies has published a new white paper, "Rebuilding the Social Contract," by TaMika Fuller, DBA, an affiliate of the Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research ...
Phys.org / Sloshing liquefied natural gas in cargo tanks causes higher impact forces than expected
What happens if liquefied natural gas (LNG) hits the wall of the cargo tanks in a ship? New research from the team of physicist Devaraj van der Meer from the University of Twente, published in the Proceedings of the National ...
