Phys.org / Ultraviolet light uncovers the first known juveniles of a mysterious Jurassic fish family
For more than 150 years, fossils of Jurassic fish scattered across Europe's museums were studied and drawn by generations of scientists. However, when a paleontologist decided to shine an ultraviolet light on them, a hidden ...
Phys.org / Hidden fifth dimension could tune dark matter resonance, new theory proposes
The mysterious substance that binds galaxies together could naturally be "in tune" with a hidden fifth dimension, according to a new University of Sheffield theory aiming to shed light on one of science's biggest enigmas: ...
Phys.org / Faster quantum computers can learn from their own mistakes
Quantum computers promise to solve problems that would take even the fastest conventional supercomputers a vast amount of time, but the quantum information they store and process is extremely sensitive to even tiny disturbances ...
Science X / Deep below the Lost City, scientists uncovered superheated water that may fuel one of Earth's strangest ecosystems
Deep in the Atlantic Ocean, the Lost City hydrothermal field is known for eerie white chimney structures made of carbonate. Alkaline hot springs, loaded with hydrogen and methane, emerge from the seafloor there. Rather than ...
Phys.org / What does it mean to feel hot? New research argues temperature is a matter of power
On a summer day in Nashville, one person escapes the heat in an air-conditioned office while another delivers packages in a metal truck that absorbs heat or labors outdoors for hours under the sun.
Dialog / Dark energy flips its sign, but the Hubble tension refuses to budge
For nearly a century, astronomers have known that the universe is expanding. In the late 1990s, two independent teams, the Supernova Cosmology Project, led by Saul Perlmutter, and the High-Z Supernova Search Team, led by ...
Phys.org / Model highlights patterns in how humans move across different locations
Every day, billions of people travel from their homes to work, schools, health care facilities, restaurants, public venues and other destinations. The complex patterns that shape how people move between these different locations ...
Medical Xpress / Heated yoga can ease depressive symptoms, the more you go the better you feel
Heated yoga, or hot yoga, is practiced in a room heated to 32–40°C (90–105°F) and has gained popularity in recent years. The warmth helps loosen your muscles, making it easier to stretch and increasing workout intensity. ...
Tech Xplore / India approves $13 billion semiconductor plan
India approved a new semiconductor program Wednesday, offering more than $13 billion in financial assistance to accelerate local chip production as it seeks to become a global electronics powerhouse.
Phys.org / Two atmospheric patterns may explain why some heat waves in Europe persist
Many parts of Western Europe are currently wilting under a heat wave. These blistering spells can last for a week or more, and although they are common in most summers, it is difficult to predict how long they will last.
Phys.org / Could permanent magnets protect astronauts from solar storms?
Shielding astronauts from the deadly radiation they face is a central challenge for any designer of a deep-space crewed mission. Even relatively low levels of exposure over long periods can lead to everything from central ...
Medical Xpress / Sri Lanka expands anti-dengue drive as deaths mount
Sri Lanka is intensifying a military-backed drive to contain the spread of mosquito-borne dengue fever, a senior official said Wednesday, as the death toll climbed to 49 since the start of the year.
