Hay fever can be annoying at the best of times. But this year, many people are reporting their usual symptoms are worse than ever before—with their normal go-to remedies doing little to provide relief.
Medical Xpress / Swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography can help distinguish early childhood glaucoma
The noninvasive swept-source anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (SS-ASOCT) can diagnose early-onset childhood glaucoma, according to a study published online May 22 in JAMA Ophthalmology.
Phys.org / Do shorter prison sentences make society less safe? What the evidence says
The final report of the Independent Sentencing Review has proposed the most significant reform of sentencing and punishment in England and Wales since the 1990s.
Phys.org / Detecting the primordial black holes that could be today's dark matter
Besides particles like sterile neutrinos, axions and weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for the cold dark matter of the universe are primordial black holes—black holes created from extremely ...
Phys.org / Do photons wear out? An astrophysicist explains light's ability to travel vast cosmic distances without losing energy
My telescope, set up for astrophotography in my light-polluted San Diego backyard, was pointed at a galaxy unfathomably far from Earth. My wife, Cristina, walked up just as the first space photo streamed to my tablet. It ...
Phys.org / Infrared contact lenses allow people to see in the dark, even with their eyes closed
Neuroscientists and materials scientists have created contact lenses that enable infrared vision in both humans and mice by converting infrared light into visible light. Unlike infrared night vision goggles, the contact lenses, ...
Phys.org / The new, farthest galaxy has been found by JWST, only 280 million years after the Big Bang
The JWST has done it again. The powerful space telescope has already revealed the presence of bright galaxies only several hundred million years after the Big Bang. Now, it's sensed light from a galaxy only 280 million years ...
Dialog / Could black holes be growing inside stars—silently and forever?
When people think of black holes, they imagine something dramatic: a star exploding in space, collapsing in on itself, and forming a cosmic monster that eats everything around it. But what if black holes didn't always begin ...
Phys.org / Five ways to inspire ocean connection: Reflections from my 40-year marine ecology career
For 40 years, I've worked as a marine ecologist and, since 1992, I've been based in Plymouth, Devon—a global hub for coastal marine research and teaching. As I think back to how our understanding of life in our oceans has ...
Phys.org / Canada's skills crisis is growing. Here's how we can fix it
Canada is facing a significant skills shortage. According to recent data, 77% of Canadian businesses surveyed say they are unable to find suitably skilled candidates for the jobs they have available.
Phys.org / Is gravity quantum? Laser cooling brings torsional oscillators closer to answering this question
One of the most profound open questions in modern physics is: "Is gravity quantum?" The other fundamental forces—electromagnetic, weak, and strong—have all been successfully described, but no complete and consistent quantum ...
Phys.org / After two setbacks, SpaceX could try to launch massive Starship next week
SpaceX said Friday it will make another launch attempt next week of the massive Starship rocket—key to CEO Elon Musk's long-term vision of colonizing Mars—after two consecutive in-flight explosions earlier this year.
