The United States on Wednesday announced it had created a "clear framework" for the eventual deployment of offshore nuclear reactors as part of the Trump administration's push to drastically ramp up atomic energy output.
Phys.org / June heat wave cost UK economy more than £1bn: Study
Britain's record-breaking June heat wave resulted in some 24 million lost hours of work, costing the economy £1.15 billion ($1.5 billion), according to an estimate released Thursday by the London School of Economics (LSE).
Phys.org / Apprentices in private, independent companies face disadvantages
Apprentices in private, independent companies are more likely to fail their final exams, change contracts and not complete their training than apprentices who have contracts through a training agency.
Medical Xpress / Imaging platform captures electrical activity from nearly 200 neurons deep in living brain tissue
The brain is a vast, densely interconnected network of neurons computing in parallel. Watching these computations unfold in real time could reveal how the brain processes sensation and guides behavior. But the electrical ...
Phys.org / Millennial minimalism: Living in a less material world
Consumer behavior accounts for almost two-thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions. Research published in the International Journal of Business Excellence argues that reducing absolute consumption, rather than simply making ...

As dawn breaks over Ghana's Atlantic coast, artisanal fishing boats return to shore with last night's catch—baskets of snapper, crabs, rays and a distinct-looking fish locals call "esene."
Medical Xpress / Do infrared saunas improve workout recovery? The evidence is still lukewarm
Infrared saunas are increasingly marketed as a post-exercise recovery tool that can reduce pain and fatigue, but the scientific evidence supporting these claims remains limited and conflicting.
Phys.org / Quantum internet leaves the lab with first real-world entanglement over busy telecom fiber
Quantum information is notoriously fragile. Internet traffic is anything but. Yet Northwestern University scientists have demonstrated they can peacefully coexist inside the same fiber-optic cable.
Medical Xpress / FDA panel narrowly backs unapproved peptide drug touted by Joe Rogan and other influencers
Health advisers met Thursday to review more than a half-dozen peptides, unproven substances that have become a growing wellness trend despite little evidence they are safe or effective.
Phys.org / From quantum error correction to emergent gravity: Probing holographic universes at QLab
One of the deepest ambitions in modern physics is understanding how the fabric of space and time could emerge from fundamental quantum degrees of freedom to establish a quantum theory of gravity.
Phys.org / Astronomers are still trying to understand how a galaxy's spiral arms form
The Whirlpool galaxy (M51) is a classic grand spiral galaxy. It was the first object identified as a spiral, way back in 1845. At the time, it and other galaxies were considered spiral nebulae, since astronomers didn't know ...
Phys.org / Study of incarcerated women in Chile finds different outcomes after release
A new study of incarcerated women in Chile reveals that women respond to imprisonment in very different ways: While most experienced little change in their involvement in crime after release, those with higher levels of past ...
