Phys.org / Experts say oceans soaked up record heat levels in 2025
The world's oceans absorbed a record amount of heat in 2025, an international team of scientists said Friday, further priming conditions for sea level rise, violent storms, and coral death.
Phys.org / Q&A: What do scientists need to learn next about blocking enzymes to treat disease?
Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive virtually every chemical reaction in our cells. For decades, scientists have designed drugs to slow ...
Phys.org / Blazar Ton 599's complex variability investigated by long-term observations
Using the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT), an international team of astronomers have performed long-term photometric observations of a luminous blazar known as Ton 599. Results of the observations, published in the Astronomy ...
Phys.org / How Mycobacterium tuberculosis safeguards itself from foreign DNA
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), with collaborators from the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc), have discovered how a key protein in the tuberculosis bacterium helps protect it from the influence ...
Phys.org / Active solar region observed for record 94 days
In May 2024, the strongest solar storm in twenty years raged. An international team led by ETH Zurich observed it. Their findings are now helping to improve space weather forecasts.
Phys.org / Catching a radical in motion with µSR spectroscopy
Using muon spin rotation spectroscopy, researchers from Japan and Canada have successfully captured the rapid conversion of an imidoyl radical into a quinoxalinyl radical occurring within nanoseconds. The technique enabled ...
Tech Xplore / Carbon shell design curbs shuttle effect in thermal battery cathodes
Transition metal fluorides are widely regarded as promising cathode materials because of their high theoretical voltages and excellent thermal stability. However, in real batteries, these materials tend to dissolve and migrate ...
Medical Xpress / Diabetes costs the global economy trillions, says study
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder and one of the most prevalent non-communicable diseases worldwide. On average, one in ten adults is affected. The number of people living with diabetes continues to rise, ...
Phys.org / Fault-tolerant quantum computing: Novel protocol efficiently reduces resource cost
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers on some complex computational problems. These computers rely on qubits, units of quantum ...
Phys.org / Uncovering a secret room that a giant virus creates inside its host amoeba
A virus relies on the host's translation machinery to replicate itself and become infectious. Translation efficiency partially depends on the usage of a codon, or sequence of three nucleotides, that matches the cellular pool ...
Medical Xpress / Assisted reproductive technology associated with higher risk of childhood atopic diseases
Collaborating institutions in Taiwan report higher risks of atopic disease among children conceived via assisted reproductive technology compared to those conceived naturally.
Phys.org / Lysosomes in focus: New study reveals how cells keep them intact
When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and damaging the cell. Now, researchers at Umeå University have revealed the molecular sensors that detect ...
