Phys.org / Higher resolution climate models show 41% increase in daily extreme land precipitation by 2100
Despite continuous efforts to evaluate and predict changes in Earth's climate, most models still struggle to accurately simulate extreme precipitation events. Models like the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phases 5 ...
Phys.org / Second exoplanet discovered in the TOI-1422 system
European astronomers report the discovery of a second alien world in the TOI-1422 planetary system located some 500 light years away. The newfound exoplanet, which received designation TOI-1422 c, is nearly three times larger ...
Phys.org / Growing human organs for medical implants: New method gives human stem cells an edge in chimeric embryos
Scientists have discovered a method of helping human stem cells thrive in an animal embryo—a key development in efforts to grow human organs in animals for medical transplants.
Medical Xpress / Daily coffee drinking may slow biological aging of people with major mental illness
Drinking a maximum of 3–4 cups of coffee a day may slow the "biological" aging of people with severe mental illness, by lengthening their telomeres—indicators of cellular aging—and giving them the equivalent of 5 extra ...
Phys.org / Red spider nebula photo taken by Webb
Using its Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam), NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured never-before-seen details of the Red Spider Nebula, a planetary nebula, in this image released on Oct. 26, 2025. NIRCam is Webb's primary ...
Medical Xpress / New possible treatment pathway for Shank3-related autism discovered
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in communication, behavior and the processing of sensory information. Past research has shown that some individuals diagnosed with ...
Phys.org / Anomalous electronic state opens pathway to room-temperature superconductivity
Superconductive materials can conduct electricity with no resistance, but typically only at very low temperatures. Realizing superconductivity at room temperature could enable advanced, energy-efficient electronics and other ...
Medical Xpress / Metabolic roots of memory loss: Early obesity and low choline levels linked to brain inflammation risk
For decades, scientists have known that what harms the body often harms the brain. Conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure and insulin resistance strain the body's vascular and metabolic systems. Over time, that stress ...
Phys.org / A foot-tall elephant? 'Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age' on Apple TV reveals surprising creatures
If you've seen any of the "Ice Age" animated Disney movies, we have some bad news: You don't know the real ice age.
Tech Xplore / Programmable metamaterial can morph into more configurations than there are atoms in the universe
The Wave Engineering for eXtreme and Intelligent maTErials (We-Xite) lab, led by engineering assistant professor Osama R. Bilal, has developed a reconfigurable metamaterial that can control sound waves—bending them, dampening ...
Phys.org / Endangered lemurs face new threat from the luxury meat trade
Lemurs, the small primates with bushy tails and large, expressive eyes, are among the world's most endangered species. According to the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List, of the 112 species of ...
Tech Xplore / Study finds lower emissions from higher-ethanol gasoline
California residents will soon get some price relief at the pump and reductions in harmful vehicle emissions, thanks in part to a landmark UC Riverside vehicle emissions study.
