Phys.org / Polymers built inside the body through blood-catalyzed chemistry allow on-demand brain control
The 19th-century science fiction novel Frankenstein explores the idea of combining artificial materials with human body components, purely as a matter of imagination. Two centuries later, such concepts have become integral ...
Phys.org / Artemis II crew breaks Apollo 13 record, reaching 252,760 miles from Earth
The four astronauts embarking on NASA's lunar flyby became on Monday the humans to travel farthest from our planet, as they begin documenting areas of the moon never before seen by the naked eye.
Phys.org / Exploding primordial black holes might have reshaped the early universe, and created all matter as we know it
The early universe is absolutely so far outside our understanding of how the world works it's hard to describe in words. Back then, the cosmos wasn't filled with stars and galaxies but with a boiling soup of quarks and gluons, ...
Phys.org / Astronomers find a third galaxy missing its dark matter, validating a violent cosmic collision theory
Astronomers have long argued that dark matter is the invisible scaffolding that holds galaxies together. Without its immense gravitational pull, the rotational spins of galaxies would force them to simply fly apart. But now, ...
Medical Xpress / Train transfer hub linked to reduced health care spending
Japan's transition to a super-aged society is intensifying pressure on health care and social security spending. In response, national policy has promoted "Compact Plus Network" planning, which encourages people to live near ...
Phys.org / How the female baboon body has the final say in sperm selection
Just because a female olive baboon has mated with a specific male doesn't mean he will be the father of her offspring. According to a new study published in PLOS Biology, mate selection continues long after copulation as ...
Phys.org / New plan aims to track microplastics in U.S. drinking water, EPA says
U.S. officials are taking a closer look at what's in America's drinking water, including microplastics and leftover medications.
Phys.org / Tiny African fish caught climbing to the top of a 50-foot waterfall
For over half a century, people in Central Africa have told tales of the fish seen climbing waterfalls, but these claims have never been officially confirmed. Now, these fish have finally been caught on camera, studied more ...
Phys.org / Ytterbium atomic clock could open a new window on fundamental physics
For the first time, an international team of physicists has successfully harnessed a rare orbital transition in atoms of ytterbium to create a new type of atomic clock that is both highly precise and extremely sensitive to ...
Medical Xpress / Affirming racial and gender identity supports mental health, finds study
People of color who are also part of sexual and gender minority groups face unique challenges shaped by overlapping forms of discrimination. While much research has focused on the mental health risks they experience, far ...
Phys.org / Astronomers thought the early universe was full of hydrogen: Now they've found it
The Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) has discovered tens of thousands of gigantic hydrogen gas halos, called "Lyman-alpha nebulae," surrounding galaxies 10 billion to 12 billion years ago. Known as Cosmic ...
Phys.org / Spectacular fossil treasure trove pushes back origins of complex animals
A newly discovered fossil site in southwest China has transformed our understanding of how complex animal life emerged on Earth, revealing that many key animal groups had already evolved before the start of the Cambrian Period. ...
