Phys.org / Traces of Earth's primordial magma ocean discovered in lava from a modern volcanic eruption
In May 2018, the island of Mayotte, between Madagascar and Mozambique, began to experience a series of earthquakes that led to the discovery of an underwater volcano, now called Fani Maoré. Multiple scientific expeditions ...
Medical Xpress / Brain tumor vaccine links mutation targeting to eight-year survival gains
A novel vaccination strategy against certain malignant brain tumors could fundamentally improve treatment for patients. Researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Mannheim University Medical Center, Heidelberg ...
Phys.org / Astronomers characterize 'improbable' system shaped by brown dwarf
In the course of studying planets beyond our solar system (6,316 confirmed exoplanets and counting), scientists have discovered some very interesting systems. Consider TOI-201, a compact system populated by three bodies, ...
Phys.org / New approach boosts microplastic removal from wastewater
RMIT University researchers have tested a more effective way to capture microplastics from wastewater, using a combination of microbubbles and nanobubbles to achieve removal rates of more than 90%.
Tech Xplore / Why cryogenic sensors may switch to light: New laser moves data fast with less heat
FPAs are image sensors that convert infrared light into electrical signals to produce real-time thermal images and are widely used in applications such as surveillance, astronomy and industrial monitoring. Advances in cryogenic ...
Phys.org / Chemists capture structure of the elusive borylnitrene trapped in a crystal using X-ray
Nitrenes are the ghosts of synthetic chemistry, formed in an instant and gone just as quickly, rearranging into something entirely different. These highly reactive intermediates are widely used in synthesis, yet remain notoriously ...
Phys.org / Phylogenomics reveals angel insects' ancestry, resolving century‑old 'Zoraptera problem'
Zoraptera, also known as angel insects or ground lice, are tiny termite-like insects generally found underneath bark or in decaying wood. The Zoraptera group includes a few dozen known insect species that closely resemble ...
Tech Xplore / Programmable metasurface generates dozens of holograms at once
Over the past few decades, engineers have developed various devices that can create holograms, three-dimensional (3D) or two-dimensional (2D) images produced by precisely controlling the shape and direction of traveling light ...
Medical Xpress / Video games might modestly sharpen your memory and other cognitive skills, review suggests
Because video games are a regular part of many people's everyday lives, researchers have spent a lot of time trying to determine whether they are beneficial or detrimental to brain health. A new study, published in Acta Psychologica, ...
Science X / Cannibalism could keep people alive—so why did humans reject it almost everywhere?
From ancient graves to stories of survival on the frontier, signs of human flesh-eating turn stomachs, even as they raise questions. Anthropologists have uncovered bones cut up with axes and chops—like a skull from England ...
Phys.org / Larger brain, smaller face: Human evolution took a different course than previously thought
A new study, published July 6, 2026, in the journal Nature Communications, suggests that two of the best-known trends in human evolution—brain growth and the reduction in the size of the face and jaw—may be far less attributable ...
Medical Xpress / Is AI ready to take over your prescriptions? Doctors are wary of Utah's automated refill program
A prescription refill program that quietly launched in Utah earlier this year has kicked off a big medical debate: Is artificial intelligence ready to take over tasks that, until now, could only be performed by doctors?
