Phys.org / In seconds, fiber optic cables detect earthquake size
Scientists have discovered a new way to determine how big an earthquake may become just seconds after it begins. In a new study published in Nature Communications, researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Cal ...
Phys.org / Two attosecond flashes capture electrons in motion
Electronic motion sets the stage for virtually every light-induced process in nature, from the first step of a chemical reaction to the flow of charge in a solid. Yet these processes unfold so rapidly that they can be observed ...
Phys.org / Tabby's star may be orbited by a planetary-mass companion
By analyzing data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and conducting new radial velocity measurements, U.K. and French astronomers have found evidence that the mysterious Tabby's star may be orbited by ...
Medical Xpress / Chemicals present in drinking water may carry a hidden risk tied to uterine cancer
In a recent study, researchers examined whether certain chemicals present in public drinking water are linked to uterine cancer, the most common gynecological cancer in the United States and one that has been steadily increasing ...
Tech Xplore / Charging drones mid-flight with lasers
Wireless charging is nothing new for our phones, watches, earbuds and other tech. Now, researchers want to bring wireless power to the skies—recharging drones in flight by beaming a laser under their wings.
Medical Xpress / Gut bacteria leave intestinal 'memory,' protecting against inflammation
New Northwestern Medicine research published in Nature Communications suggests that a metabolite produced by gut bacteria when they digest dietary fiber can leave a lasting molecular imprint on intestinal cells, promoting ...
Phys.org / Five-year study finds rewilded elephants develop successful coping mechanisms, with individual differences
Ex-captive elephants released into the wild adapt well to wild environments, according to a study published July 29, 2026, in the journal PLOS One by Tenisha Roos and Tamara Eggeling of the Elephant Reintegration Trust of ...
Phys.org / Biofilm clue opens route to anti-infection treatments of the future
A multidisciplinary study has uncovered a critical component in the formation of biofilms, the complex structures used by bacteria to colonize surfaces. The research may have implications for future infection treatments, ...
Medical Xpress / Two post-surgery blood–brain disruption windows may offer glioblastoma treatment targets
Scientists in Britain and Spain have discovered critical windows after glioblastoma surgery when the brain's defenses falter, creating a rare chance to deliver powerful treatments exactly where needed. If doctors time treatment ...
Medical Xpress / Support from animals may feel stronger for women and those spending more time with them
In a study of Swiss adults, women and people who spent more time with a pet or another animal to which they might feel close reported feeling more attached to the animal and receiving more socioemotional support from it. ...
Tech Xplore / Hybrid battery binder could improve EV range without changing existing production lines
A joint research team—led by Ki-Jae Kim, a professor in the Department of Energy Science and the Department of Future Energy Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), alongside Jang Wook Choi's research team from Seoul ...
Medical Xpress / Climate change is redrawing the malaria map in Africa, study finds
Malaria is the deadliest climate-sensitive infectious disease. Yet researchers and public health officials have long argued over how climate change has shaped its spread. A new Nature study resolves this debate, providing ...
