Phys.org / New study reveals an enigmatic pre-Columbian burial in Ecuador
A recent study, conducted by Dr. Sara Juengst and her colleagues and published in Latin American Antiquity, sheds light on a unique Manteño (AD 650–1532) burial, possibly linked to human sacrifice.

Phys.org / Record-setting electron beam: Five times more powerful than predecessors
Scientists have created an ultrashort electron beam with five times more peak current than any other similar beam on Earth.

Medical Xpress / 3D-printed tissue restores erectile function and aids reproduction in animal study
Erectile dysfunction affects over 40% of men over 40, yet our understanding of the condition remains limited. Research on this issue has mostly relied on real organs, making it difficult to study the detailed interaction ...

Phys.org / Watch the moon turn red during a total lunar eclipse in March
A total lunar eclipse will flush the moon red Thursday night into Friday morning across the Western Hemisphere.

Medical Xpress / Naturally occurring molecule rivals Ozempic in weight loss, sidesteps side effects
A naturally occurring molecule identified by Stanford Medicine researchers appears similar to semaglutide—also known as Ozempic—in suppressing appetite and reducing body weight. Notably, testing in animals also showed ...

Phys.org / After 120 years of conservation efforts, Yellowstone bison are a single breeding population, researchers discover
Researchers from the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) have discovered that bison in Yellowstone National Park—the only group of American bison that has continually existed as wildlife ...

Tech Xplore / Engineers take apart batteries from Tesla and China's leading EV manufacturer to see what's inside
Two main manufacturers dominate the EV (electric vehicle) market: Tesla, which is most popular in Europe and North America, and BYD, which leads the Chinese EV market. However, both manufacturers have released limited data ...

Phys.org / Saturday Citations: A supermassive black hole in the LMC; ozone layer recovery; abstract memory in humans
This week, based on a genetic study, researchers issued a recommendation that bison in Yellowstone National Park should be treated as one large, interbreeding herd. Physicists proposed a new framework that derives gravity ...

Medical Xpress / Better sleep, better blood sugar? Study links sleep patterns to glucose stability
Research led by Westlake Laboratory of Life Sciences and Biomedicine in China has found that inadequate sleep duration and late sleep onset are associated with increased glycemic variability in adults. Continuous glucose ...

Tech Xplore / A new on-chip microcomb to synchronize signals in optoelectronics
Optoelectronics are promising devices that combine optical components, which operate leveraging light, with electronics, which leverage electrical current. Optoelectronic systems could transmit data faster than conventional ...

Medical Xpress / Study shows that dendritic plasticity contributes to the integration of memories
Past neuroscience studies suggest that memories of events that occurred at short time intervals from one another are often connected, via a process referred to as memory linking. While memory linking is now a well-documented ...

Phys.org / Scientists date remains of an ancient child that resembles both humans and Neanderthals
Scientists have dated the skeleton of an ancient child that caused a stir when it was first discovered because it carries features from both humans and Neanderthals.
