Phys.org / Jurassic sea monster was smaller than once thought, but no less formidable
For more than 25 years, Liopleurodon has been one of the world's most recognizable prehistoric marine predators. Immortalized in the BBC's landmark Walking with Dinosaurs series as a colossal 25-meter (82-foot) marine hunter, ...
Phys.org / Satellite imagery captures the impact of large U.S. dams on river temperatures over the last decade
A team of Virginia Tech geoscientists has found a new way to examine the widespread effects of dams on river temperatures: using Landsat thermal infrared imagery to gather data on rivers across the United States. By using ...
Phys.org / Antarctic 12-m Terahertz Telescope project to uncover hidden galaxy formation
A new simulation study suggests that the Antarctic 12-m Terahertz Telescope (ATT12), a next-generation facility led by University of Tsukuba, could uncover between 1 and 10 million dusty star-forming galaxies throughout cosmic ...
Phys.org / Truffles are on the menu for threatened marsupials returning to a World Heritage area
A new study from Edith Cowan University (ECU) confirms that the presence of fungal food resources is important for supporting the reintroduction of two threatened marsupials to the Shark Bay World Heritage area, which could ...
Medical Xpress / Viagra may reduce cancer metastasis, study shows
Viagra was originally developed to treat high blood pressure and chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart, but over the past three decades it has become the world's best-known therapy for erectile dysfunction. ...
Phys.org / Cosmic gymnastics: How the Milky Way once underwent a dramatic flip
The Milky Way may have undergone a dramatic change in orientation during its history, according to new research that helps explain a long-standing mystery about our galaxy. Using supercomputer simulations of galaxies like ...
Phys.org / New insights into how DNA, the body's instruction manual for life, is regulated
Scientists at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Center have uncovered new insights into how cells regulate DNA methylation, a fundamental process that helps keep potentially harmful viral elements in our genome under control.
Phys.org / Decades-old strains reveal Brakhagea, a budding bacterial genus with bioactive potential
Some microorganisms that hold great promise for research have long lain dormant in historical collections. But only through new methods are their diversity and potential becoming apparent. The team led by Professor Christian ...
Phys.org / Scientists use dual-frequency images to explore black hole plasma physics
The first-ever image of a black hole—a glowing, ring-like structure at the heart of galaxy M87—was unveiled to the world in a landmark moment in 2019. Now, researchers have taken the next big step—moving beyond capturing ...
Phys.org / Giving bees a probiotic diet could help protect them from extreme temperatures
Honeybees do not like cold weather. When temperatures dip, they can become sluggish and unable to fly. But no matter the conditions in the outside world, they try to keep their hives close to a comfortable 34°C–36°C (93°F–97°F). ...
Tech Xplore / Fine-tuned perovskites make blue LEDs more vibrant
Over the past decade, perovskite LEDs have become increasingly vibrant and affordable to produce. With careful tweaks to their chemical composition, these crystal-based light emitters can be tuned across the visible spectrum—matching ...
Tech Xplore / Ultra-robust acoustic chip can handle 12 times more power for 6G and satellite links
Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a novel chip architecture that enables the miniature acoustic devices inside smartphones to withstand more than 12 times higher power ...
