Phys.org / Australian sea lion pups learn diving and foraging skills from their mothers
Research from Adelaide University and the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) has shown for the first time that Australian sea lion pups can learn foraging behavior from their mothers. Social information ...
Phys.org / Metamaterial image sensor keeps colors clear even under oblique light
Smartphone cameras are becoming smaller, yet photos are becoming sharper. Korean researchers have elevated the limits of next-generation smartphone cameras by developing a new image sensor technology that can accurately represent ...
Phys.org / Elevated E. coli, staph still detected in Potomac river 4 weeks after sewage spill
Nearly a month after a wastewater pipe broke and spewed hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River just north of Washington, D.C., the latest water testing results from the University of Maryland ...
Phys.org / How shaming unethical brands makes companies improve their behavior
Recent investigations have uncovered forced labor in agricultural supply chains, illegal fishing feeding supermarket freezers, deforestation embedded in everyday food products, and unsafe conditions in factories producing ...
Phys.org / Cosmic curveball: Distant system challenges planet-formation theory
An international team of astronomers has discovered a distant planetary system that challenges long-standing theories of how planets form. Across our galaxy, astronomers routinely observe a characteristic pattern in planetary ...
Phys.org / Dramatic changes in upper atmosphere are responsible for recent droughts and bushfires: New research
Over the past decade, southern Australia has suffered numerous extreme weather and climate events, such as record-breaking heat waves, bushfires, two major droughts and even flash flooding.
Medical Xpress / Why nighttime heat drives a surge in suicide-related calls to crisis lines in Louisiana
Extreme heat poses serious risks to physical health but can also trigger a mental health emergency for some people. While the link between heat and suicide is well-documented, the specific stressors that drive someone to ...
Phys.org / Could a recently reported high-energy neutrino event be explained by an exploding primordial black hole?
The KM3NeT collaboration is a large research group involved in the operation of a neutrino telescope network in the deep Mediterranean Sea, with the aim of detecting high-energy neutrino events. These are rare and fleeting ...
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: A virus that makes its own proteins; a new Spinosaurus; exercise beats anxiety
This week in the scientific process: researchers reported the first-ever shark sighted in Antarctic waters. Penguins beware! Biologists report that honey bees navigate more precisely than previously thought. And not all humans ...
Phys.org / The algorithmic feed on X could be shifting political views toward conservatism
Turning on the "For You" algorithm on X (formerly Twitter) may shift users' political opinions toward more conservative views, suggests research involving nearly 5,000 X users. These effects are shown to persist even after ...
