Phys.org / Archaeologists at Pompeii use AI to reconstruct the face of a man killed in the volcano's eruption
Archaeologists and researchers at the ancient Roman site of Pompeii have used artificial intelligence for the first time to digitally reconstruct the face of a man killed in the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius that smothered ...
Phys.org / Light-activated protein illuminates when embryos can cope with disruptions to cell division
Cell division during the early stage of embryo development is a trade-off between speed and accuracy; the cells need to divide quickly to enable rapid growth, but it's important not to introduce errors that could be fatal ...
Phys.org / Standardized runoff dataset could improve forecasts of urban microplastic pollution
As rain falls, lurking within stormwater runoff are hidden microplastics, polluting the water sources they drain into. Even though microplastics originate in urban environments such as cities, existing data sets focus on ...
Phys.org / Snow cover on Greek mountains has more than halved in four decades, study finds
Snow cover in the mountains of Greece—an important water source for communities, agriculture and natural ecosystems during the dry summer months—has more than halved over the past four decades, a study has found.
Tech Xplore / Perovskite solar cells skip yellow phase, degrade more slowly with key additives
Halide perovskites are gaining ground on silicon as a critical material for solar cell technologies: A new study published in the journal Science reports a method to make perovskite-based photovoltaics more durable, allowing ...
Phys.org / Seeing an eclipse from Earth is awe‑inspiring—for astronauts in space, the scene was even more grand
The astronauts on Artemis II's trip to the moon in April 2026 didn't just have an amazing journey through space. They also saw something extraordinary. They were the first humans to see a total solar eclipse from space.
Medical Xpress / A new algorithm can spot who may be headed for self-harm before warning signs become obvious
Depression, one of the most widespread mental health disorders, is characterized by a persistent low mood and a loss of interest in everyday activities, along with possible sleep disruptions and/or changes in appetite. Some ...
Phys.org / US–Indian space mission maps extreme subsidence in Mexico City
One of the most powerful radar systems ever launched into space has mapped the ground moving beneath one of the fastest subsiding capitals in the world: Mexico City. The findings show how quickly and reliably the NISAR (NASA-ISRO ...
Phys.org / Frozen in dry ice, hydrogen reveals a surprisingly simple way to control quantum behavior
A new study by University of Maryland chemical physicists demonstrates how to control the nuclear spin of molecular hydrogen (H2) by simply freezing it in dry ice. This new technique, published in the journal Physical Review ...
Medical Xpress / Restoring protein recycling helps exhausted T cells fight tumors again
T cells are crucial components of our immune system, serving as critical protectors against infection and disease. But there are limits to their defensive capabilities. T cells are not inexhaustible protectors. Often, when ...
Phys.org / Feeding shift may have steered 55 pilot whales toward Scotland mass stranding
New research, focused on the feeding behavior of long-finned pilot whales, has shed light on one of Scotland's largest mass stranding events. The study, led by the Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme (SMASS) based at ...
Medical Xpress / For 30 years, doctors chased the wrong immune culprit behind this rare inflammatory disease
Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have uncovered a critical mechanism driving inflammation in mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD), a rare but devastating autoinflammatory disorder. The study, published ...
