Phys.org / New Artemis II 'Earthset' shot revisits Apollo 8's iconic 'Earthrise,' 57 years on
The Artemis II astronauts snapped a stunning shot of Earthset—the moment when Earth dips below the moon's horizon—on their long journey back home Tuesday after wrapping up a historic lunar flyby.
Phys.org / Hot-dry extremes could hit 28% of humanity five times more often by end of century
In their current state, climate policies around the world could leave a significant chunk of the global population exposed to simultaneous extreme heat and drought over five times more often by the end of this century than ...
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 / 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 / Analysis finds geometric thinking may come from wandering, not a human-only math module
Debates over how geometry is understood and learned date back at least to the days of Plato, with more recent scholars concluding that only humans possess the foundations of this understanding. However, a new analysis by ...
Phys.org / Quantum computing without interruptions
Mid-circuit measurements are one of the biggest practical hurdles in quantum error correction on encoded qubits. Researchers in Innsbruck and Aachen have now proposed and experimentally demonstrated that a universal fault-tolerant ...
Phys.org / Parasitic tapeworm—a risk to domestic dogs and humans—found in Washington coyotes
New evidence suggests that a disease-causing tapeworm that has been spreading across the United States and Canada has arrived in the Pacific Northwest. The tapeworm, called Echinococcus multilocularis, lives as a parasite ...
Phys.org / Oyster reefs stack up for shoreline protection
Oyster reef living shorelines have been found to provide a resilient and adaptive alternative to conventional hard coastal protection, reducing wave energy while supporting oyster colonization.
Phys.org / Tech can enable cross-species experiences, new research suggests
Giving lemurs the chance to use technology to share control of sensory experiences with zoo visitors can help create meaningful connections between humans and animals, new research suggests.
Phys.org / A layered approach sharpens brain signals in optical imaging
Near-infrared spectroscopy, or fNIRS, offers a way to monitor brain activity without surgery or radiation by tracking changes in blood flow and oxygenation. Light sources placed on the scalp send near-infrared light into ...
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 ...
Medical Xpress / A new add-on for combat PTSD treatment: MRI-guided TMS significantly reduces symptoms in clinical trial
An advanced version of a procedure using magnetic fields to stimulate brain nerve cells in treating depression was significantly effective for 85% of active military and veterans suffering from combat post-traumatic stress ...
