Phys.org / New research calls for 'heat literacy' in Australia
James Cook University (JCU) research argues Australians urgently need better education about heat to prepare for longer, hotter and more dangerous heat waves driven by climate change.
Phys.org / Genomics: Decoding the blueprints for Australia's biodiversity
Every living organism has its own genetic "blueprint": the source code for how it grows, functions and reproduces. This blueprint is known as a genome. When scientists sequence a genome, they identify and put in order the ...
Medical Xpress / Does the cold really 'seep into your bones?'
Another cold snap is approaching. Some people deal with it by taking an invigorating walk outside, while others hibernate with a cozy blanket and biscuits. But one thing seems to be common when temperatures drop: we like ...
Tech Xplore / SpaceX to compete in Pentagon contest for autonomous drone tech
Elon Musk's SpaceX and wholly owned subsidiary xAI are competing in a secretive new Pentagon contest to produce voice-controlled, autonomous drone swarming technology, according to people familiar with the matter.
Phys.org / Ban or guide? Teens say parents and schools should listen, not restrict
There is much debate about the role of social media in young people's lives. But what do adolescents themselves think about it? In any case, they feel they are not being listened to enough, according to a new study by Radboud ...
Medical Xpress / Younger men experience more harms using steroids than older men, study finds
Younger men who use anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) experience a greater overall burden and complexity of harms than older men, new Griffith University research has found. Researchers investigated whether age influenced ...
Medical Xpress / Sexual trauma victims more likely to experience hallucinations
Psychotic disorders affect millions worldwide, and hallucinations are just one symptom that can severely impact daily life, leading to isolation, distress, and reduced quality of life. A significant association has been found ...
Phys.org / Beyond the beaches, Wellington's catastrophic sewage spill could be bad news for coastal ecosystems
Public concern over the total failure of the Moa Point wastewater treatment plant on Wellington's south coast has been growing, despite this week's announcement of an independent review.
Medical Xpress / FDA expands tater tot recall tied to possible plastic contamination
A recall of frozen tater tots has expanded after federal officials warned that hundreds of thousands of pounds could contain pieces of plastic.
Phys.org / Widespread 'enhanced rock weathering' could slow global warming
It's one of the latest technologies for sequestering carbon: crush silicate rocks, add to crop soil, and let the rock dust naturally react with carbon dioxide. The reactions bind carbon into stable mineral forms that can ...
Phys.org / How a certain form of dark matter may lead to the generation of cosmological magnetic fields
Tiny highly uniform magnetic fields are known to pervade the universe, influencing various cosmological processes. To date, however, the physical mechanisms underpinning the generation of these fields remain poorly understood. ...
Phys.org / Physicists explain the exceptional energy-harvesting efficiency of perovskites
Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at converting solar energy into electricity. Their efficiency is approaching that of silicon-based solar ...
