Tech Xplore / Six minutes to recharge? Battery advance could rewrite what fast charging means for electric cars
Researchers at Adelaide University have discovered a promising new strategy that could deliver fast battery charging. The team, led by Professor Shi-Zhang Qiao, an ARC Industry Laureate Fellow in the University's School of ...
Phys.org / Central Asia's record-breaking ice loss in 2025 raises water risks for millions
A new international study led by Lander Van Tricht (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, ETH Zürich), shows that glaciers in Central Asia experienced their most extreme mass-loss year on record in 2025, designated as the International ...
Phys.org / Ultrafast switching device unlocks low-power optical-to-electrical conversion for AI hardware
Modern energy demands are soaring as technologies like AI and IoT become more common, and researchers have been working hard to develop hardware that can keep up. Now, a team of researchers from the University of Tokyo has ...
Medical Xpress / A brief kidney crisis in childhood can cast a long shadow over health for years afterward
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a condition in which the kidneys suddenly lose their ability to filter waste from the blood. Developing within hours or days, AKI can cause dangerous waste accumulation and disrupt the body's ...
Phys.org / Neutrino flavor flips could be key to triggering supernovae
Despite being so elusive, neutrinos are produced in abundance in some of the most violent events in the universe. One of their strangest properties is that they can spontaneously switch between three types, or "flavors": ...
Phys.org / Coupled DNA nanopores control molecular traffic inside synthetic cell microreactors
Living systems such as cells rely on membrane pores and channels to transport molecules, exchange signals, and organize biochemical reactions. These functions emerge from dynamic interactions between molecular components. ...
Medical Xpress / Sunscreen confusion puts more Americans at risk for Melanoma
Melanoma—the most serious form of skin cancer—doesn't just happen at the beach or in a tanning booth.
Phys.org / A de-extinction company has hatched live chicks from an artificial eggshell
A biotech company that aims to resurrect lost creatures said Tuesday it has hatched live chicks in an artificial environment—a development that was met with mixed reviews from scientists and critics of its de-extinction mission.
Phys.org / Discovery of new fossils in Northwest Canada changes view of early animal evolution
Researchers have uncovered a remarkable fossil site in a remote part of Canada's Northwest Territories, offering unprecedented insight into the earliest evolution of complex animal life on Earth. Findings from the site represent ...
Medical Xpress / 'Pink noise' can help make anesthesia work better during surgery
In the brain, specific electrical waves are associated with different states of consciousness. For instance, delta waves—also known as slow waves—are especially prevalent during deep sleep, as well as during states of unconsciousness ...
Phys.org / White hydrogen discovered in billion-year-old Canadian Shield rock points to potential new energy source
Within the Canadian Shield, hydrogen gas is steadily building up naturally among some of the oldest rocks on Earth. Now, for the first time, geochemists at the University of Toronto and the University of Ottawa have measured ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists capture 'housekeeping' immune cells attacking live melanoma
Scientists at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have captured, for the first time, "housekeeping" immune cells actively attacking and engulfing live melanoma cells—a discovery that could change the way we approach ...
