Phys.org / NASA develops batteries to power humanity's return to moon
If you've ever had your car start sluggishly, or not at all, on a particularly frigid winter morning, you know standard batteries do not like extreme cold. That's why NASA researchers are working to develop a battery that ...
Phys.org / Chandra breaks down 'Treble Clef's' galaxy cluster collision
Astronomers have used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to break down the cause of a remarkable formation of radio waves they have nicknamed the "Treble Clef" because its distinct shape strongly resembles the musical symbol.
Phys.org / Letters reveal forgotten role of Baghdad antiquities dealers in early 20th-century Kish excavations
Between 1880 and 1912, no official excavations took place at Kish. Yet museums from London and Paris to New York were somehow acquiring brand-new tablets from the legendary old city. As it turns out, local Iraqis had been ...
Phys.org / Two brain circuits coordinate fruit flies' wing and leg movements to threaten rivals
Limbs evolved as a means of locomotion. From the primitive rotating flagella of bacteria to the wings of flies and even our own legs, animals use these appendages to travel to find food or mates or escape predators. But in ...
Tech Xplore / New cyber threat to water systems exposes limits of encryption
University of British Columbia researchers have uncovered a vulnerability that could allow hackers to target and disrupt critical infrastructure such as water treatment plants and energy grids without needing to break into ...
Phys.org / Rigorous analysis confirms NASA's Artemis II heat shield performance
NASA's Artemis II mission sent four astronauts around the moon and brought them safely back to Earth, laying a foundation for crewed flights to the moon's surface.
Medical Xpress / Genomic cancer driver study reveals new clues to why some prostate cancers become aggressive
Why do some prostate cancers grow slowly for years, while others progress quickly to life-threatening metastatic disease? An international team of researchers co-led by the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR) and ...
Phys.org / El Niño a 'terrifying' threat to coral reefs: UN biodiversity expert
A super El Niño fueling record ocean temperatures poses a "terrifying" threat to the world's fragile coral reefs, the chair of the U.N.'s expert nature panel told AFP.
Medical Xpress / Greater contact with nature linked to a more positive relationship with food
A new study has discovered that contact with natural environments may help people develop healthier eating habits. Led by Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) and published in the journal Body Image, this is the first research ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover 'D-rex', a giant fungus from Chinese forests whose unique lineage dates back 65 million years
Deep in the forests of Yunnan, China, scientists have discovered a "fungal giant" that challenges our understanding of how large fungi can become. The newly described species, Dianjunus rex, produces vertical fruiting bodies ...
Tech Xplore / Fingerprint authentication uses ultrasound without storing biometric information as digital data
A research team has developed a new biometric authentication technology that can identify users without storing their fingerprint information as digital data. The study is published in Nature Sensors.
Phys.org / Replanted landscapes can look restored while soil fungi still lag behind
With up to 75% of the world's soils degraded, restoration projects try to reestablish functional and biodiverse environments to secure adequate food production, biodiversity, climate regulation and human well-being.
