Phys.org / New study reveals what drives the evolution of remarkable eyes in deep‑sea hyperiid amphipods
Hyperiid amphipods are a small but anatomically diverse group of shrimp-like crustaceans with remarkable adaptations for life in the ocean's twilight zone. A team of researchers from MBARI, the Smithsonian National Museum ...
Phys.org / PathSay Project uses AI to cross language barriers
Thousands of the world's languages remain largely invisible to modern translation technology, but researchers and students at Brigham Young University are working to change that. Through a project called Pathsay, students ...
Tech Xplore / Snapping knits turn fabric into switches that count steps and light LEDs
Knitting has come a long way from sweaters and blankets. Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have turned everyday knitting into a powerful platform for making shape-shifting ...
Phys.org / Asteroid breakup may explain inner solar system bombardment 800 million years ago
A Southwest Research Institute-led study has proposed a connection between a specific collision in the main asteroid belt and an inner-solar-system-wide bombardment episode that may have had measurable biological and geological ...
Phys.org / Quantum currents turn a nano 'soccer ball' into a powerful molecular electromagnet
Driving an electric current through a molecule can create a magnetic field. Yet in practice, such fields are often too weak to be detected experimentally. Through theoretical modeling, researchers at the Institute of Science ...
Phys.org / Deep-sea larvae travel toward sunlight before returning to hydrothermal vents 2,000 meters down
Hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor host a broad range of rare and unusual ecosystems. They can be spread far apart, yet there is often overlap among the creatures that inhabit them. Researchers, including those from the ...
Phys.org / When disaster strikes, people often flee to places that feel familiar
When the Marshall Fire tore through suburban Colorado in late 2021, residents had only hours to decide where to go. Some fled to nearby towns. Others stayed farther away for weeks or months. Now, a recent study published ...
Phys.org / Tiny water droplets convert stubborn plastic waste into valuable acids, study finds
A new way of converting stubborn plastic waste into high-value chemicals using only water and oxygen has been developed by an international team of scientists.
Science X / Ancient asteroid impact may explain Curiosity's first pure sulfur crystals on Mars
The bright yellow sulfur crystals discovered by NASA's Curiosity rover have puzzled scientists because sulfur on Mars is normally associated with mineral formations, not elemental deposits.
Phys.org / A volcano in the Philippines erupted 2 weeks ago: Why scientists are still watching it closely
Two weeks ago, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology recorded three distinct, short-lived explosions in less than five minutes at Taal Volcano. The eruption sent a column of ash and steam up to 1.2 km (0.75 ...
Phys.org / T. rex was likely responsible for some tooth marks on fossil bones from Cretaceous era
A collection of fossilized dinosaur bones from Wyoming features tooth marks that provide evidence that some bites were likely made by Tyrannosaurus rex, according to a study published July 15, 2026, in PLOS One by Bethania ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds mixed associations between breastfeeding and childhood allergies
Breastfeeding is widely recognized for its important role in supporting a child's early growth and immune system development. Previous studies have found that exclusive breastfeeding for 4 to 6 months is associated with a ...
