Phys.org / Gravitational waves as possible candidates for the origin of dark matter
Gravitational waves could be responsible for the production of dark matter during the early phases of our universe's formation, according to results of a new study by Professor Joachim Kopp from Johannes Gutenberg University ...
Phys.org / New disk-shaped catalyst turns carbon dioxide into methanol at lower temperatures
Low-temperature CO2 hydrogenation might have sounded almost paradoxical until a recent study made it possible. Researchers have designed new catalysts that can transform the greenhouse gas into methanol at temperatures ranging ...
Phys.org / New evidence challenges assumptions of mass feasting at ancient Mongolian burial mounds
Khirigsuurs are Late Bronze Age monuments found across Mongolia and parts of southern Siberia. They are typically thought to be burial monuments or ritual spaces, consisting of a burial mound surrounded by satellite features ...
Phys.org / Lakes forming next to Greenland's melting ice sheet are speeding up glacier flow
A growing network of meltwater lakes at the edge of the Greenland ice sheet is accelerating the flow of major glaciers, potentially increasing the pace of global sea-level rise. Warmer air and sea temperatures have led to ...
Tech Xplore / This paint changes colors when hit, revealing location and strength of impact
Imagine a paint that changes color depending on how hard its surface is hit. It could be used on football helmets to monitor concussion-level impacts, to record the handling history of shipped packages, or placed on insoles ...
Medical Xpress / Congo says its mpox outbreak is over after 2 years and more than 2,200 suspected deaths
Congo on Thursday declared the end of a two-year outbreak of the mpox disease that's believed to have caused more than 2,200 deaths in the country.
Phys.org / AI writes a research paper that passes peer review
To date, the main role of AI in scientific research has been to assist with narrow tasks such as discovering chemical structures, analyzing data or predicting protein shapes. But now, the technology has broken new ground ...
Phys.org / Gravitational waves suggest a 'forbidden zone' for stellar-origin black holes
An international team led by Monash University has uncovered evidence of a rare form of exploding star, helping to shed light on one of the most cataclysmic events in the universe. At the end of their lives, most massive ...
Phys.org / High nickel concentrations in Martian bedrock point to potential biosignatures
In 2024, NASA's Perseverance rover found surprising levels of Nickel in the Martian bedrock of an ancient river channel, called Neretva Vallis, which flowed into the Jezero crater. A new study, published in Nature Communications, ...
Tech Xplore / Alkaline steel and cement wastewater could capture 30 million tons of CO₂ annually
Alkaline industrial wastewaters from steel or cement production are ideally suited to bind and sequester carbon dioxide (CO₂) chemically, safely, and for the long term. This is the result of a study conducted by the Helmholtz-Zentrum ...
Phys.org / Positive views of the #Tradwife movement linked to higher levels of sexism among men
Men who generally perceive women through a negative lens tend to be the most likely to positively view the #tradwife movement, says the findings of the world's first study into men's attitudes surrounding the increasingly ...
Phys.org / Black hole mergers test the limits of general relativity
General relativity stands as one of the bedrock theories in modern physics. Its strange view of relative time and space has been confirmed by countless experimental and observational tests, from rotational frame dragging ...
