Phys.org / Arctic shipping alters cloud formation, study finds
A study led by the EPFL suggests that shipping emissions influence climate-relevant cloud formation and may affect regional climate processes far beyond the polar region.
Phys.org / Webb spots the birth of a giant galaxy and a supermassive black hole
Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to catch an extraordinary glimpse of a massive galaxy taking shape in the early universe. They identified a compact group of at least six galaxies that are likely to merge ...
Tech Xplore / Food waste can become jet fuel through simpler refining and 50-50 blending
The aviation industry accounts for a large portion of global greenhouse gas emissions. Biobased, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) can mitigate climate impacts, but transitioning to SAF faces critical supply chain constraints. ...
Tech Xplore / Robot 'Floaty' rides the wind like a bird, staying stable without propellers
Current flying objects face a trade-off: Drones with propellers, for instance, are very agile and able to hover; however, they use up a lot of energy. Airplanes, on the other hand, feature fixed wings that allow them to fly ...
Phys.org / Four new chameleon species found on Mozambique's mountaintop 'sky islands'
Tropical rainforest patches perched on isolated granite mountains in northern Mozambique have yielded four new species of sylvan chameleons, according to a new study by Prof. Krystal A. Tolley and Dr. Werner Conradie, recently ...
Phys.org / Astronomers map a magnetic 'skeleton' funneling gas into a stellar nursery
Stars form when vast clouds of cold gas in space collapse under their own gravity. But not all gas collapses, and not all clouds form stars equally efficiently. A longstanding puzzle in astrophysics is what controls this ...
Phys.org / Bow-and-arrow-shaped radio galaxy discovered by citizen scientist
Astronomers have discovered a "remarkable" bow-and-arrow-shaped radio galaxy with an enormous arc-like structure extending nearly 1.8 million light-years across. The newly identified system, detailed in a new paper published ...
Tech Xplore / Next-generation battery potential unlocked with a novel electrolyte design
A research team has successfully designed a novel electrolyte for fluoride shuttle batteries based on a new concept. The research is published in the journal ACS Applied Energy Materials.
Phys.org / Using less, living better: Demand-side climate action wins public support
Climate strategies are still judged largely across two dimensions: how much they cost and how many tons of CO2 they save. A new study published in Communications Sustainability argues that this narrow lens overlooks much ...
Tech Xplore / Microscopic image changes can bypass AI guardrails, nearly doubling unsafe responses
It may look like a picture of a panda bear to you, but to your business's AI agent, it can act like a skeleton key, bypassing safety safeguards and potentially causing the model to generate harmful, misleading or policy-violating ...
Phys.org / Well-known planetary nebula's ear-like lobes rewrite its evolutionary timeline
Using the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) and the Manchester Echelle Spectrograph (MES), astronomers from Turkey and Mexico have investigated a planetary nebula discovered two centuries ago, known as NGC 6563. Results ...
Phys.org / El Niño is underway, satellite observations show
El Niño, characterized by warmer-than-normal water temperatures in parts of the equatorial Pacific, made its return in June 2026. Observations of sea surface height from the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite that month ...
