Phys.org / Egypt's deserts were once home to a diverse shark community
During the Late Cretaceous period, parts of Egypt were covered in water. A new study, published in the journal Cretaceous Research, describes new evidence that this tropical sea was home to a diverse community of sharks. ...
Phys.org / Pomegranate emerges as a promising natural phytobiotic for veterinary medicine
Researchers have identified a broad range of biological properties of pomegranate with potential medical applications, including antimicrobial, antiparasitic, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, ...
Phys.org / The hidden physics behind the shape of rose thorns
Roses are known for their thorns, the sharp structures that can sting and prickle the skin. Thorns, botanically known as prickles, are thought to discourage animals from feeding on plants and may also help climbing roses ...
Phys.org / Workplace social media reduces staff turnover, study finds
Social media used inside organizations may help engage employees and increase staff retention, according to a paper in the International Journal of Applied Systemic Studies that examined this phenomenon in China. Employee ...
Phys.org / Finding the world's highest late Middle Pleistocene marine deposits
Selma Sarı and an international group of colleagues investigated the TOL-1 section in the Mut Basin (southern Türkiye), while documenting the world's highest known Late Middle Pleistocene (MIS 7) marine deposits, preserved ...
Phys.org / New solar system models show Earth is no fluke
Over the past three decades, computer models of planetary system formation have gone from fairly crude representations to sophisticated simulations using thousands of different starting points.
Phys.org / LHC collisions reveal oxygen and neon's shifting nuclear geometry
Many people are aware that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN smashes tiny subatomic particles together at nearly the speed of light to test foundational laws of physics and discover new fundamental particles, but some ...
Phys.org / A little Big Bang: Bowling-pin-shaped nuclei shed new light on the universe's first moments
What happened in the first moments of the universe—before the building blocks of life and the world we know today came into existence? Physicists at the CERN research facility in Switzerland are trying to answer this question ...
Phys.org / The little red dots of our cosmos might hide something big
Little red dots may reside in small, dense galaxies with total masses equivalent to around 1 billion times that of the sun, according to research published in Nature Astronomy.
Medical Xpress / Internal body awareness does not predict mental health, study finds
The human brain continuously receives information from inside the body that helps detect physical needs and emotional states, such as a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, hunger, thirst, pain and body temperature. Its ...
Phys.org / Engineered yeasts help turn PET plastic and crop waste into protein-rich cookies
Plastic might be the last ingredient you would ever add to a cookie recipe. But a team of researchers is looking to change that. They've programmed yeasts to turn plastic and agricultural waste into edible proteins and flavoring ...
Tech Xplore / Vertical microrods boost electricity generation from evaporation by accelerating ion flow
Evaporation, the process by which water becomes vapor and disperses into the environment, draws heat from its surroundings. This heat, also known as atmospheric thermal energy, is abundant but diffuse, making it difficult ...
