Phys.org / Tiny mountain lakes pose big, overlooked flood risks, new study warns
A new international study involving scientists from the University of Aberdeen has revealed a critical blind spot in global climate risk assessments—the growing danger posed by small alpine lakes formed by glacier retreat ...
Medical Xpress / First-in-human immunotherapy more than doubles progression-free survival in glioblastoma patients
Glioblastoma, the most aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults, remains one of the most challenging cancers to treat because of limited treatment options and a poor prognosis. Patient outcomes have remained largely unchanged ...
Tech Xplore / AI job rejections felt least fair when avatars shared just one trait
Companies are increasingly using artificial intelligence in their hiring processes. It's not just CVs that are evaluated automatically. AI tools can also conduct job interviews—usually in the form of avatars, which are animated ...
Phys.org / This rare British butterfly looks familiar, but its genome tells a very different story
The British swallowtail butterfly (Papilio machaon britannicus) is the U.K.'s only native swallowtail and its largest native butterfly. It's instantly recognizable by its striking light yellow-and-black wings, with twin tail-like ...
Phys.org / AI reveals hidden San Andreas Fault movements
When people think about geological faults, they usually think about earthquakes. Yet faults do not move only during earthquakes. Sometimes they slip silently, without generating noticeable shaking, releasing stress over hours ...
Tech Xplore / Light-powered chip harvests energy, computes and senses chemicals in one stack
Most contemporary portable electronics, including laptops, smartphones and smart watches, are powered by batteries that need to be recharged daily or every few days. Over the past decade, however, some engineers have been ...
Tech Xplore / New AI add-on helps developers automate everyday programming tasks
Developers are increasingly relying on large language models (LLMs) for everyday computing tasks such as fixing bugs, explaining code and automating text-processing tasks like filtering logs.
Phys.org / New ligand engineering strategy creates more active nanocluster catalysts
A joint research group from Tohoku University, Tokyo University of Science, Tokyo Metropolitan University and the Japan Fine Ceramics Center has developed a thermal catalyst that exhibits high carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation ...
Phys.org / Ancient hobbit-like humans may have survived on meat left behind by Komodo dragons
Arguably one of the most curious ancient human relatives is Homo floresiensis, a 3-foot-tall species that lived on the Indonesian island of Flores and has been nicknamed "hobbit" for its diminutive stature. Even though they ...
Tech Xplore / New method improves control over organic semiconductor doping for flexible electronics
Organic semiconductors are paving the way for a new generation of lightweight, flexible electronics, including bendable displays, printable circuits, wearable sensors and devices that harvest energy from their surroundings. ...
Phys.org / JWST finds the most distant barred galaxy candidate in the early universe
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified what may be the most distant barred spiral galaxy ever discovered, dating to a time less than 1.2 billion years after the Big Bang. The paper outlining its ...
Phys.org / Ancient fossil may reveal animal kingdom's earliest right-handedness at 550 million years old
Scientists have uncovered what may be the earliest evidence of "right-handedness" in the animal kingdom, dating back more than half a billion years. The discovery comes from the fossil record of Spriggina floundersi, an organism ...
