Phys.org / Some black holes grow much faster than their galaxies
Nearly every galaxy has a supermassive black hole. The few that don't have had theirs ejected during a galactic collision. That's because galaxies and their black holes have formed hand in hand. There is still some debate ...
Phys.org / Grooming-related messages reach almost two-thirds of children
Nearly two-thirds of Australian children surveyed in a recent study received at least one form of grooming-related communication from a stranger online in the past year, while almost one-third reported receiving direct requests ...

Phys.org / NASA technique for manipulating satellite photos now reveals ancient images
High in the central tower of Angkor Wat, an ancient Cambodian temple, paintings depict horseback riders and a traditional musical ensemble. Thousands of visitors pass these images daily without noticing them because they ...
Phys.org / Chesapeake Bay underwater grasses increase 7%, buoyed by gains in salty waters
Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), one of the Chesapeake Bay's most important indicators of ecosystem health, increased by 7% in 2025, according to researchers at William & Mary's VIMS & Batten School.
Phys.org / Why does Southeast Asia keeps breathing the same haze—and can ASEAN do more to stop it?
Southeast Asia has spent decades trying to tackle haze from forest fires. Yet every few years, the region finds itself breathing it again. The transboundary environmental problem has become a recurrent phenomenon in the region.
Phys.org / Why a wetter Tibetan Plateau still faces 'hot-dry' extremes: The roles of ENSO and the North Atlantic
Since the 1950s, the Tibetan Plateau has experienced pronounced warming and wetting. However, an overall shift toward wetter conditions does not necessarily mean that drought risk has diminished. On the contrary, against ...
Medical Xpress / Improved health should guide obesity treatment, not weight loss alone
A new scientific statement released today by the Endocrine Society highlights the benefits of obesity treatment beyond weight loss, including improved overall health and reduced risk of conditions such as heart disease, sleep ...
Phys.org / Tiny backpacks reveal the secret, sometimes circuitous migrations of small songbirds
Squinting through my binoculars, I scanned the dense branches of a black spruce, trying my best to catch a glimpse of the thin legs of a small black, white and yellow songbird. I was on the hunt for a yellow-rumped warbler—a ...
Phys.org / New computational method pushes cryo-electron microscopy beyond traditional resolution limits
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has become a powerful tool for determining the structures of proteins, viruses and molecular complexes at near-atomic resolution. However, achievable resolution is fundamentally limited ...
Phys.org / Action on climate and air pollution likely to boost economy, UN says
Every US$1 invested in tackling climate change and air pollution together can generate around US$15 in economic benefits, according to a report published today by the U.N. Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Climate and ...
