Phys.org / Ultrathin nanotubes reach 1 nanometer, opening path to smaller electronics
Researchers in Japan have created some of the world's smallest semiconducting nanotubes, structures 100,000 times thinner than a human hair. By growing molybdenum disulfide inside protective tubes of boron nitride, the researchers, ...
Phys.org / White storks: Why introducing non‑native species in rewilding projects can be a good idea
White storks (Ciconia ciconia) are a majestic bird with a two-meter wingspan and an enormous circular nest.
Phys.org / Bumble bees show spontaneous problem-solving, challenging big-brain assumptions
In a new study, bumble bees solve a completely novel object-manipulation task. What makes this behavior especially remarkable is that the bees had never been trained. The findings challenge the long-standing assumption that ...
Phys.org / Stonehenge Altar Stone's epic transportation across ancient Britain detailed in new study
New research by Curtin University has revealed how one of Stonehenge's most mysterious stones was likely transported hundreds of kilometers across Britain through challenging terrain, highlighting the remarkable capabilities ...
Phys.org / Jupiter bow shock reveals electrons accelerating to relativistic speeds
Electrons around Jupiter have been caught in the process of being accelerated, revealing a potentially unified mechanism for particle acceleration. The findings, published in Nature, may help constrain how energetic particles ...
Phys.org / Rare wild goats in Northumberland prove to be a genetically distinct breed
New research shows Cheviot goats are one of the UK's most genetically distinct goat populations. Led by Newcastle University, this is the first genetic study to determine the ancestry and genetic health of a UK feral goat ...
Medical Xpress / Topical gel helps burn wounds heal faster using an existing FDA-approved drug
Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation and the University of Arizona College of Medicine have developed a topical gel formulation with 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), to treat burn wounds, achieving near-complete ...
Phys.org / Overlooked DNA structures help organize the genome
Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that little-studied DNA structures play a central role in organizing the human genome and controlling gene activity, according to a new study published in the Proceedings of ...
Science X / A routine soccer skill sets off brain injury signals, and the blood shows it fast
The iconic header goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo in a Manchester United vs. Real Madrid Champions League game was a marvel to watch. While heading a soccer ball can help a team climb the rankings, studies suggest it may ...
Phys.org / Quantum shell structure reveals new rule for proton-neutron pairing inside nuclei
Nuclear physicists used a little magic in their latest experiment conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, and the result has revealed surprising new information about the ...
Phys.org / Could it be aliens? From Cheyava Falls on Mars to exoplanet K2‑18b—here's what scientists really think
It may seem like we are on the verge of discovering alien life. In 2025, a press release stated that we have the "strongest hints yet" of extraterrestrial life on the exoplanet K2-18b. And when talking about a collected sample ...
Phys.org / First steps: America's grueling second spacewalk
One year after Gemini IV astronaut Edward H. White completed NASA's first spacewalk the agency prepared for a demanding second excursion. Originally scheduled for Gemini VIII, the extravehicular activity (EVA) was reassigned ...
