Medical Xpress / European women's lung cancer mortality rates predicted to level off by 2026
After increasing for more than 25 years, lung cancer death rates are finally leveling off among women in European Union (EU) countries apart from Spain, according to predictions of mortality rates from the disease for 2026.
Phys.org / Researchers solve mystery of universe's 'little red dots'
Since the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) went into operation, red dots in its images have puzzled researchers around the world. Now, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have explained these enigmatic findings, ...
Phys.org / Wormholes may not exist—we've found they reveal something deeper about time and the universe
Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a misunderstanding of work by physicists Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen.
Medical Xpress / Can Canada's health systems handle increased demand during FIFA World Cup?
Excitement is building for FIFA World Cup soccer games in Toronto and Vancouver in June and July, yet Canada's overburdened health systems may buckle with any additional demand, cautions an editorial published in CMAJ (Canadian ...
Phys.org / NASA's new moon rocket moves to the pad ahead of astronaut launch as early as February
NASA's giant new moon rocket moved to the launch pad Saturday in preparation for astronauts' first lunar fly-around in more than half a century.
Phys.org / Experiments bring Enceladus' subsurface ocean into the lab
Through new experiments, researchers in Japan and Germany have recreated the chemical conditions found in the subsurface ocean of Saturn's moon, Enceladus. Published in Icarus, the results show that these conditions can readily ...
Phys.org / New state of matter discovered in a quantum material
At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The definition of topological states should be generalized.
Phys.org / New class of strong magnets uses earth-abundant elements, avoids rare-earth metals
Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious metals—a breakthrough that could significantly advance clean energy technologies and consumer electronics ...
Phys.org / How to prevent charge buildup in a lunar rover
As they roll across shadowed regions of the moon's surface, future lunar rovers could develop hazardous buildups of electric charge on their wheels. Through new analysis published in Advances in Space Research, Bill Farrell ...
Tech Xplore / New memristor training method slashes AI energy use by six orders of magnitude
In a Nature Communications study, researchers from China have developed an error-aware probabilistic update (EaPU) method that aligns memristor hardware's noisy updates with neural network training, slashing energy use by ...
Phys.org / Siwarha's wake gives it away at Betelgeuse
Betelgeuse is the star that everybody can't wait to see blow up, preferably sooner rather than later. That's because it's a red supergiant on the verge of becoming a supernova and there hasn't been one explode this close ...
Phys.org / Scientists design artificial pain receptor that senses pain intensity and self-heals
All over the body are tiny sensors called nociceptors whose job is to spot potentially harmful stimuli and send warning signals to the brain and spinal cord, helping protect us from injury or tissue damage.
