Phys.org / New class of strong magnets uses earth-abundant elements, avoids rare-earth metals
Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious metals—a breakthrough that could significantly advance clean energy technologies and consumer electronics ...
Phys.org / A new nanorobot designed to improve immune cell recognition could help treat colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer, the abnormal growth of cancerous cells in the large intestine or the rectum, is one of the most common types of cancers worldwide. Available treatments for this type of cancer include chemotherapy, radiation ...
Phys.org / X-ray observations reveal hidden disturbances in galaxy cluster Abell 3571
Using the Einstein Probe (EP), astronomers from China and Germany have observed a nearby galaxy cluster known as Abell 3571. Results of the observational campaign, published January 8 on the arXiv pre-print server, provide ...
Phys.org / Staying single for longer affects young people's well-being, study finds
Media increasingly portray being single as an expression of people's lifestyle, self-determination and empowerment, with expressions such as self-partnership, solo living, sologamy and singlehood dominating the discourse. ...
Phys.org / Marine wildlife rarely interact with tidal turbines—and usually avoid collisions when they do, observations show
Tidal turbines harbor the potential to provide a natural, inexhaustible source of power, but have faced some regulatory hurdles and scientific uncertainty about risks to marine life.
Phys.org / Q&A: An ice core library in Antarctica may save humanity's climate memory
On Wednesday, January 14, 2026, the coolest library on Earth was inaugurated at the Concordia station, Antarctica. Samples from glaciers rescued worldwide are now beginning to be stored there for safekeeping. This will allow, ...
Phys.org / What happens when fire ignites in space? 'A ball of flame'
When fire breaks out in the low-gravity, high-stakes conditions inside spacecraft or space stations, it behaves very differently than back here on Earth.
Medical Xpress / Small daily changes linked to dramatically longer lives
Two separate studies suggest that minor lifestyle changes can lead to a longer life. One Norwegian-led team estimated that adding five min/day of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity and reducing daily sedentary ...
Phys.org / Ancient CO₂ surge triggered widespread forest fires and erosion 56 million years ago
The climate warmed up almost as quickly 56 million years ago as it is doing now. When a huge amount of CO2 entered the atmosphere in a short period of time, it led to large-scale forest fires and erosion. Mei Nelissen, Ph.D. ...
Phys.org / Fast fashion: Why changes in return policies don't do enough to address environmental damage
Online fashion retailer Asos recently introduced additional fees for customers who return lots of items, marking a significant shift in the fast fashion model that has relied on free, frictionless return policies as a key ...
Phys.org / Construction emissions are higher than thought—but the solution isn't building less, new study finds
Many cities are making great strides in the fight against climate change, such as improving building energy efficiency, reducing traffic congestion and switching to renewable power sources. But there is another often overlooked ...
Tech Xplore / Benchmarking framework reveals major safety risks of using AI in lab experiments
While artificial intelligence (AI) models have proved useful in some areas of science, like predicting 3D protein structures, a new study shows that it should not yet be trusted in many lab experiments. The study, published ...
