Phys.org / Antarctica is offering 30 to 50 years' worth of warning on sea level rise, models suggest
Scientists predict that the next three to five decades provide a critical window to anticipate and plan for Antarctic ice loss and its contribution to sea level rise. Research published in Nature, led by Monash University ...
Science X / This Neptune-sized world orbits backwards, hinting at a hidden giant's influence
Imagine a world the size of Neptune, but instead of following the orderly path of its neighbors, it is racing headlong against the flow of its own solar system. In the case of the exoplanet TOI-1710 b, the cosmic clockwork ...
Phys.org / 'Super-puff' planets less dense than cotton candy discovered by international team
An international collaboration has discovered two of the lowest-density giant planets ever detected: rare "super-puff" planets with densities lower than candy floss. The study—led by the University of Oxford, in collaboration ...
Phys.org / Horizon edge states gain finite description in string theory calculation
Modern physics theories highlight the key role of horizons—boundaries beyond which information cannot reach an observer—in a variety of cosmological and gravitational phenomena. Two renowned examples of these boundaries are ...
Phys.org / Apes and humans have been sharing a laugh for 15 million years
Great apes may have been laughing with a similar rhythm to modern humans for at least 15 million years, a University of Warwick study reveals. The finding offers unexpected clues to how human speech evolved.
Phys.org / Organic carbon detected in Bright Angel rock formation on Mars
In September 2025, NASA announced that its Perseverance rover had discovered a potential biosignature, which is a substance or structure that might have a biological origin. A new paper, published in Science Advances, unambiguously ...
Medical Xpress / Uneven cerebellum aging may partly explain why some older adults stay mentally sharp
Scientists may have discovered a new role for the cerebellum, the part of the brain that sits at the base of the skull. A new paper published in the journal Nature Neuroscience reports that different parts of the cerebellum ...
Phys.org / Human sacrifice in Inca Empire may have been driven by political motives, not religion
Three decades ago, researchers working atop the Llullaillaco volcano, located on the border between Argentina and Chile, discovered exceptionally well-preserved remains. The find included the mummified bodies of three children ...
Phys.org / Commute stress can fuel workplace conflict, but research suggests a simple fix
Pothole season, summer construction season or maybe bad weather. No matter the time of year, it's no surprise commuters who drive to work may start their day already feeling a bit on edge.
Phys.org / Binary black hole signal probes event horizon region for first time
If, in space, no one can hear you scream, it seems that you can actually hear the sound of a crash when two black holes collide. Using the loudest gravitational wave ever heard, two Australian scientists and colleagues have ...
Medical Xpress / Top supplements Americans use are shifting from multivitamins to targeted health fixes
Dietary supplements are an excellent way to fill gaps in our nutritional requirements. From vitamins and macronutrients to gut-health probiotics, dietary supplements have helped people address deficiencies. In recent years, ...
Phys.org / Lavatory shaft reveals the cost of 17th‑century vanity in Germany
Four goose skulls were pulled from a former toilet shaft in Brandenburg, Germany, each of them riddled with strange holes. As it turns out, these holes were the telltale signs of fancy feathered crests, making them the first ...
