Phys.org / Scientists want to 3D print houses on Mars with the help of yeast
Mars is a terrible place to build a house. It's bitterly cold, blasted by radiation and a near vacuum. Not to mention that the building materials, even for a modest shelter, could spend months hurtling through space before ...
Phys.org / Sun's largest sunspots may have potential to trigger superflares
The sun is capable of great things. In massive eruptions, it repeatedly hurls particles and radiation into space. This solar bombardment can be dangerous for technical infrastructure on Earth: For example, satellites and ...
Phys.org / Water isotopes reveal early drought signals in Central Amazon rainfall
The historic droughts of 2023 and 2024 in the Amazon reduced river flows and altered the region's rainfall composition. Daily monitoring in Manaus, the capital of the Brazilian state of Amazonas, revealed these changes through ...
Medical Xpress / Light-based scans can uncover hidden tissue damage in pelvic organ prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse is a common but often overlooked condition that affects millions of women. It occurs when the tissues that support the pelvic organs weaken, allowing organs such as the bladder, uterus or rectum to shift ...
Phys.org / Rare pulsar unleashes 114 giant pulses in a single hour
Astronomers have detected extreme, never-before-seen behavior from a rare kind of pulsar and stumbled on a surprising link to one of astronomy's biggest current mysteries. Using 174 hours of radio observations, researchers ...
Tech Xplore / AI may cut junior coding tasks and weaken the pipeline to senior developers
New research suggests that generative artificial intelligence (AI) could weaken not only employment opportunities for junior software developers but also the pathway through which they develop into senior professionals.
Medical Xpress / Soft back belts ease everyday low back pain, 12-week trial suggests
For many in the workforce, spending hours at a computer is an unavoidable part of daily life. Sitting for prolonged periods in the same position can contribute to low back pain (LBP), which affects up to 80% of people over ...
Phys.org / New pulse-train method aims to improve precision in quantum control
Quantum technologies are poised to transform fields ranging from medicine and sensing to computing and communications by manipulating the energy states of atoms and molecules. These manipulations are achieved by controlling ...
Phys.org / Project RattleCam reveals baby snakes during birthing season in three US states for the first time
It's the season for babies in the snake world, and Project RattleCam is capturing magical moments.
Phys.org / Three quantum phases in chromium-based material hint at a spin-triplet superconductor
Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity without electrical resistance when cooled below a specific critical temperature. These materials have proved promising for the development of various technologies, including ...
Phys.org / Helium measurements clarify conditions seconds after the Big Bang
New observations of the composition of distant galaxies offer insights into the earliest phases of the universe and confirm decades of scientific understanding of the elements and particles produced by the Big Bang, according ...
Phys.org / Kids' brains are built for distraction. Sometimes that's a good thing.
Parents often learn the hard way that to make it anywhere on time, they should calculate how much time they think they need to get ready—and double it.
