Phys.org / Cities rethink beekeeping as honeybee boom may strain wild bees
The rising popularity of urban beekeeping has raised concerns about honeybee well-being and the impact they might have on wild bee populations in cities. A collaborative study by beekeepers, political stakeholders and research ...
Medical Xpress / An endurance limit that surfaces in punishing races may begin at birth
A new study is raising questions about whether human endurance has biological limits shaped long before adulthood—possibly beginning at birth. Researchers are examining whether birth weight, a known risk factor for disease ...
Phys.org / Heat and cold alter how animals fight disease. As the climate changes, this knowledge may be vital
Each animal species has an optimal temperature at which it can metabolize food and its immune system can best fight off pathogens.
Medical Xpress / Risk of early death 60% higher in people with bipolar II disorder, population-based study reveals
Scientists have found that teenagers and adults living with bipolar disorder face a higher risk of early death compared to people of the same age and sex who do not have the condition. In a recent large population-based study ...
Phys.org / RNA-built droplets create customizable organelles inside living cells
Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart or liver for essential functions, cells depend on their own tiny organs, or organelles, to carry out vital tasks, including transporting nutrients, removing waste, ...
Tech Xplore / Human-guided AI system could strengthen advanced reactor monitoring and control
Nuclear reactors generate reliable, low-carbon electricity by using heat from nuclear fission to turn turbines. These steady energy producers are a crucial component of clean power generation. Nuclear engineers are responsible ...
Tech Xplore / Bananas, cups and peelers: Robots learn how to handle curved objects like fruits and tools
It does not take much to confuse some robots. A machine might be great at handling a simple object like a box, yet when it tries to work with a more irregular shape like a banana, it often fails.
Phys.org / Lithium in the Appalachians could replace imports for a century or more, estimates suggest
The southern Appalachians hold an estimated 1.43 million metric tons of lithium oxide, concentrated in the Carolinas, and the northern Appalachians hold an estimated 900,000 metric tons, concentrated in Maine and New Hampshire, ...
Medical Xpress / How the brain replays past emotional experiences during sleep
For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to uncover the neural processes that allow humans and various other animals to recall emotional experiences of past events. Past studies have identified a network of brain regions ...
Tech Xplore / What skills do people need to successfully program with AI?
The new trend of "vibe coding" allows people to program software without writing a single line of code. Now, a new study by ETH Zurich published in the Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing ...
Phys.org / Kangaroos chart 'upside-down' evolution
New research led by Flinders University argues thick tooth enamel helped kangaroos chart an unconventional evolution story, compared to the animals of other continents. A 50-million-year natural "experiment" among Australia's ...
Science X / What are dark galaxies? Astronomers expose 70 hidden candidates with no visible stars
Galaxies are not always teeming with vibrant, hot young stars. Sometimes, they are rich in gas and dark matter but have very few or no stars, making them extremely difficult to detect. They are called "dark galaxies" and ...
