Phys.org / Particle shape and size predict asteroid strength, revealing Bennu's surface is 50 times weaker than ground coffee
In a new Nature Communications study, researchers developed a universal scaling framework for the strength of granular asteroids, showing that their tensile strength can be predicted from the size and shape of their constituent ...
Medical Xpress / Study identifies key driver of inflammation, opening door to potential new treatments
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine have uncovered a critical biological mechanism that helps explain how inflammation is triggered and sustained in a wide range of diseases—highlighting a promising avenue for future therapeutic ...
Phys.org / Lakes aren't just storing water—they're changing the carbon cycle
Lakes may look like picturesque stopping points along a river or stream, but they can have a big influence on what happens to carbon as it moves through a landscape. New research suggests that the more lake-rich a network ...
Phys.org / How bird movements are helping researchers track a global virus
While the highly virulent avian influenza strain has only recently been discovered on Australian shores, researchers at Deakin University have been working behind the scenes for years, anticipating what an outbreak might ...
Phys.org / Not a cheetah: Ancient DNA reveals the surprising Arctic life of extinct North American cat
A new study led by researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has overturned decades of assumptions about Miracinonyx trumani, the extinct predator popularly known as the American cheetah. By analyzing nuclear ...
Phys.org / The 20th data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), the largest multispectral imaging and spectroscopic redshift survey of the cosmos, has released its 20th data release (DR 20). It is also the third release of the survey's fifth phase ...
Medical Xpress / Cerebroid study hints at how maternal inflammation may influence fetal brain development
Past studies suggest that a mother-to-be's heightened immune responses during pregnancy are linked to a higher risk of conditions affecting their offspring's brain development. While this association is well documented, the ...
Phys.org / AI helps reveal the immersive sensory experiences of ancient Etruscan tombs
The Etruscan painted tombs in Tarquinia, Italy, date to the first millennium BCE and are known for their vivid scenes of music, feasting, processions and the afterlife. While these tombs have been extensively studied, archaeologists ...
Medical Xpress / New data presented on the use of coronary artery calcium for cardiovascular risk assessment
There was no difference in major cardiovascular events when statin initiation was based on coronary artery calcium compared with traditional risk factor assessment, according to results presented in a Hot Line session today ...
Phys.org / Climate change images are getting scarier—could fear help drive action?
Over the summer, Europe provided a stark new set of images of climate change. Wildfires raced across forests and grasslands, rivers and reservoirs dried up in droughts, and extreme heat disrupted everyday life.
Phys.org / How researchers are helping Canada understand a changing climate
More than two dozen University of Victoria researchers contributed to "Canada's Changing Climate Report 2026," the country's most comprehensive assessment of how climate change is affecting communities, ecosystems and coastlines ...
Phys.org / Behind the scenes: The science that confirmed Australia's first H5 bird flu case
When a suspected case of H5 bird flu arrived in Australia, CSIRO scientists knew the first hours would matter.
