Phys.org / Astrophysicists test a new piece of the sky to probe dark matter and dark energy
In the leading model of cosmology, most of the universe is invisible: a combined 95% is made of dark matter and dark energy. Exactly what these dark components are remains a mystery, but they have a tremendous impact on our ...
Tech Xplore / Aluminum stabilizes high-nickel cathodes, curbing rapid capacity loss in EV batteries
To increase driving range, electric vehicle (EV) batteries rely on high-nickel cathodes. However, this high nickel content has a critical drawback: battery performance degrades rapidly during charging and discharging. The ...
Tech Xplore / Classical Indian dance inspires new ways to teach robots how to use their hands
Researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) have extracted the building blocks of precise hand gestures used in the classical Indian dance form Bharatanatyam—and found a richer "alphabet" of movement ...

Medical Xpress / PFAS exposure may limit improvements in blood sugar after bariatric surgery
A new USC study shows teens with higher blood levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) measured before bariatric surgery had smaller improvements in blood sugar over five years, including fasting glucose and hemoglobin ...
Phys.org / Fearless frogs feast on deadly hornets
A remarkable resistance to venom has been discovered in a frog that feasts on hornets despite their deadly stingers. This frog could potentially serve as a model organism for studies on mechanisms underlying venom tolerance.
Medical Xpress / Ultra-processed foods: Leading cause of 'chronic disease pandemic,' scientists warn
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are a leading cause of the "chronic disease pandemic" linked to diet, with food firms putting profit above all else, global experts have warned.
Medical Xpress / Single enzyme failure found to drive neuron loss in dementia
Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich and the LMU University Hospital Munich uncovered a mechanism that protects nerve cells from premature cell death, known as ferroptosis. The study provides ...
