Dialog / Miniature satellite tags reveal diving behavior of juvenile sea turtles
Until recently, researchers were unable to conduct satellite-tracking studies on juvenile turtles because of their small body sizes and immediate dispersal into the ocean, leaving this period of their lives enigmatic and ...
Phys.org / Titan and Pluto exhibit the same mysterious spectral feature—and researchers can't figure out its origin
Researchers are constantly sifting through new spectral data gathered by powerful telescopes, like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Most of the time, when they identify spectral features—specific absorption or emission ...
Phys.org / Chemically primitive galaxy from 13 billion years ago reveals record-low oxygen
An international team of astronomers has used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and a natural phenomenon known as gravitational lensing to achieve a definitive characterization of LAP1-B, an ultra-faint galaxy from 13 ...
Phys.org / Apple rootstock response varies to threshold water management during 6 weeks of progressing drought
As drought and water uncertainty put increasing pressure on orchard systems, researchers at the USDA Agricultural Research Service's Appalachian Fruit Research Station in Kearneysville, West Virginia, launched a study in ...
Phys.org / Japan's small cities may face higher care burdens under the compact city policy
As populations decline and age across the developed world, compact city strategies, which oversee the consolidation of urban facilities and guide residents toward transit-served hubs, have become mainstream policies. Yet ...
Tech Xplore / IBM unveils 0.7-nanometer chip tech promising 50% higher performance and up to 70% better energy efficiency
IBM unveiled new semiconductor technology Thursday that the company says could deliver computer chips with 50% better performance while dramatically lowering power consumption.
Phys.org / Artificial 'leaf' powers wireless biomedical device
Plants convert light into energy efficiently through photosynthesis—an ability that scientists and engineers still struggle to match with electronic devices. Recently, researchers have looked beyond traditional semiconductor ...
Phys.org / White barn owls may use moonlight to startle prey
White barn owls are effective killing machines. They fly silently through the night air and swoop down on unsuspecting prey with their sharp talons. But they have something you would think goes against being a stealth predator: ...
Tech Xplore / A new type of pixel can steer and analyze light, paving way for devices that function as both camera and display
In 1927, the term "picture element," later abbreviated to "pixel," appeared for the first time in the American technology magazine Wireless World. Today, pixels are everywhere: in computer screens and television sets, where ...
Medical Xpress / Breastfeeding may protect against ADHD symptoms
A new study from the University of Bergen shows an association between breastfeeding up to 6 months of age and a reduced risk of ADHD symptoms from ages 3 to 8.
Tech Xplore / Agentic AI bot helps scientists speak to robots, speeding up experiments
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory use a slew of autonomous robots to design and implement experiments. However, setting up an experiment on an autonomous lab robot is surprisingly ...
Phys.org / How NASA taught four astronauts to read the moon
How do you teach someone to look at the moon? Not glance at it, the way we all have on a clear night, but truly read it, the way a geologist reads a hillside. That was the challenge NASA set itself before Artemis II, because ...
