Phys.org / Magnitude 7.7 earthquake strikes off coast of Indonesia and tsunami warning issued
A powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia early Saturday, damaging buildings and homes, and triggering a tsunami warning. Authorities urged people on affected coastlines to move to higher ground.
Medical Xpress / Prostate cancer prognosis linked to prostate-specific antigen levels below threshold
After treatment for metastatic prostate cancer, a drop in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in the blood is an indicator that treatment is working. A recent real-world study indicates that reaching a PSA level below ...
Phys.org / What a dry meteorite tells us about water on Mars
Detecting water where none remains today: Neutron and X-ray tomography make it possible. In an international study conducted with the participation of the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, researchers have brought to light macroscopic ...
Medical Xpress / Astrocytes directly regulate brain circuits that consolidate memories during sleep, study reveals
Research has shown that a good night's sleep has many benefits, including memory consolidation. How sleep enables the brain to strengthen memories is still not completely understood, but a new study published in Neuron reveals ...
Science X / A baby's lungs may begin responding to vitamin D sooner than scientists once thought
Many pregnant women around the world are low in vitamin D. This is a very common issue that has prompted inquiries over the years. It is believed that low levels in pregnant women can cause harm to fetal development. Currently, ...
Phys.org / Uniaxial strain reveals new way to tune electron flow in altermagnet material
Altermagnetism is a new, third type of magnetism of great interest for spin-transport applications like computer memory. If properly harnessed, it could combine the benefits of the two existing types of magnetism, ferromagnetism ...
Tech Xplore / Brief physical access may let attackers alter Boeing 737 flight instructions
Physical access to an aircraft has not typically been considered a cybersecurity risk—but it should be, according to a team of computer scientists at the University of California San Diego. In a paper presented Aug. 13 at ...
Phys.org / Does your city match your relationship status? New study exposes the hidden costs of urban living
Kids, marriage and commute: A study co-authored by Dr. Mariana Macedo of Constructor University provides new insights into how major life transitions alter how individuals navigate and experience urban environments. Published ...
Phys.org / Magnetic mystery in thorium clusters resolved by new study
Scientists from the University of Manchester's Department of Chemistry, Centre for Radiochemistry Research and Photon Science Institute, led by Professor Steve Liddle, have uncovered why a rare class of metal clusters appears ...
Phys.org / Fungal age remains elusive as underground networks continually grow, split and recycle
Some of Earth's oldest living organisms may be right beneath our feet: not ancient trees or coral reefs but fungi. Yet despite their ubiquity and importance, scientists still don't know how long most fungi can live—or even ...
Tech Xplore / Simple robot design exceeds human hand in some core motions
The human hand is a dexterous and versatile machine. Scientists have conventionally tried to replicate these traits in robots by copying the biological mechanics of the hand, resulting in complex and difficult-to-control ...
Phys.org / New CERN measurement challenges conventional models of how gluons behave inside atomic nuclei
A University of Kansas physicist played a leading role in a CERN study showing that two rival explanations for how gluons behave inside atomic nuclei can now be experimentally distinguished.
