Tech Xplore / How are data centers impacting health?
Data centers have become a contentious issue across the country.
Tech Xplore / New software tool lets users repair AI-generated 3D models, then fabricate them just the way they want
A guiding principle for many software engineers—"What you see is what you get" —means creating programs where the content you're editing looks the same as the final product. But when you're using generative AI (genAI) systems ...
Phys.org / Estuary water quality trends have $100M implications, researchers find
Estuaries across the United States are facing the same trends of warming waters, algal growth and declining oxygen concentrations that threaten water quality and fish populations, regardless of geographic location, according ...
Tech Xplore / Chinese electric bike imports surge as Africa's EV investments diversify
Africa's imports of electric motorcycles and three-wheelers from China rose sharply in the first half of 2026, an increase that highlights a divide in the continent's transition to electric vehicles.
Medical Xpress / Tiny astrocyte sensors in the brain's fear center point to a potential target for anxiety and depression
A new study led by UCLA Health researchers has identified a specific type of brain cell and a tiny structure on its surface that changes when the body is under stress, which may help explain why stress can lead to anxiety ...
Phys.org / Four in five researchers report harmful interactions during geoscience fieldwork. A new survey suggests a path forward.
Fieldwork is a vital part of geoscience research, allowing scientists and students to directly observe, interact with and collect data about Earth processes that cannot be replicated in the lab.
Tech Xplore / Ultrablack wool offers a sustainable route to low-cost water purification
Scientists project that by 2050, nearly half the global urban population will not have enough potable water—a 50% increase since 2016. New and sustainable methods for desalination are needed, and Cornell researchers have ...
Phys.org / X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals the surface chemistry of bio-based hybrid materials
Just a few atomic layers at the surface can strongly influence how effectively a material binds pollutants from water or how efficiently a photocatalyst responds to light. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied ...
Medical Xpress / Widespread COVID death underreporting around the world raises broader questions
During the COVID-19 pandemic, governments around the world faced the same basic challenge: measuring a fast-moving public health crisis and communicating its severity to citizens.
Phys.org / The trapdoor spiders giving a leg up to science
WA's trapdoor spiders are endangered. Jackson Rendall is here to help—because he thinks they're "just really cool."
Phys.org / AI and big data can help logistics companies navigate supply-chain disruptions
Artificial intelligence and big-data capacity might help logistics companies withstand supply-chain disruptions by making them more agile and resilient, according to research in the International Journal of Business Performance ...
Phys.org / Luck or merit? Not all inequality is equally acceptable
Do you think it's fair that some people are better off financially than others? Does it perhaps matter whether those earnings stem from a lottery win or hard work? These are the kinds of questions economist Ingvild Almås ...
