Phys.org / One unexplained event could hint at heavy dark matter
An unexplained signal detected by the world's most sensitive dark matter experiment could mark a major breakthrough in the hunt for the elusive substance, according to an analysis involving scientists from the University ...
Phys.org / Physicists finally put Feynman's path integral to the test
For nearly 80 years, physicists have relied on a thought experiment created by Richard Feynman to predict how quantum particles behave. For the first time, researchers in China have tested this trick directly in the lab.
Phys.org / Geomagnetic superstorm shook GPS accuracy across the US—its timing may have averted agricultural losses
On Nov. 11, 2025, Earth experienced a severe geomagnetic storm triggered by solar flares and coronal mass ejections from an active sunspot region. While this kind of storm brings beautiful auroras admired in many areas around ...
Phys.org / Weak sea-surface temperature gradients may fuel stronger tropical cyclones
The fact that the ocean gets colder as you go deeper is fairly intuitive, but a similar gradient exists along the surface of the ocean, even at scales of 1 kilometer to tens of kilometers. A new study, published in the Proceedings ...
Phys.org / Peacock-like displays outpace antlers and tusks in evolutionary change, model suggests
Many animal species, ranging from peacocks and birds of paradise to some lizards, fish and beetles, display physical features or ornaments that can attract potential mates. These ornaments can include colorful plumage, elaborate ...
Phys.org / Giant impact could have formed an intact moon within five hours, simulations suggest
New Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) modeling, conducted in collaboration with scientists at the University of Arizona, shows fundamental differences in how the moon may have formed from the giant impact that created the ...
Medical Xpress / Six-month community program improves attention and diet scores in older adults
As aging populations drive rising global health care demands, finding scalable ways to prevent cognitive decline has become a public health priority. While intensive clinical trials have shown that multidomain lifestyle interventions ...
Phys.org / How Mercury formed its graphite crust and core
As the BepiColombo mission prepares to enter the final phase of its journey to Mercury, a series of studies conducted by researchers at the University of Liège and KU Leuven sheds new light on the early stages of the evolution ...
Medical Xpress / Migraine treatment gets a rethink: New guide prioritizes patient voice and choice
A migraine headache can easily bring someone's usual day to a halt. The intense throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head, often comes with nausea, vision disturbances and light sensitivity. Preventive medicines work ...
Phys.org / Haze emergency grips Malaysian Borneo town
Acrid smoke hung heavily over the Malaysian town of Serian, seeping into homes and cloaking roadside stalls, as residents navigated an air-quality emergency fueled by transboundary haze from Indonesia's raging fires.
Medical Xpress / Rethinking radiotherapy may boost immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most aggressive malignancies, with a particularly poor prognosis even when diagnosed at a localized stage. In a paper published in Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology, researchers ...
Phys.org / An anomalous return of the Odden ice tongue suggests unusual Arctic conditions
Data from many sources, including NASA, have shown a significant decrease in Arctic sea ice since 1979. However, the processes driving the melting and freezing of sea ice are complex, and fluctuations occur throughout the ...
