Phys.org / One of the oldest known 3D animal fossils found in Norwegian sheep field
One of the oldest known 3D fossils of an animal has been discovered in a sheep field in the Norwegian Arctic, the first new major site of its kind anywhere in Europe in decades.
Phys.org / JWST finds extreme star-forming galaxies masquerading as faint quasars
A new study finds that two early-universe objects thought to be faint quasars are actually extraordinarily luminous galaxies powered by bursts of star formation. James Webb Space Telescope observations of the galaxies, seen ...
Tech Xplore / Climate, not concrete mix, may drive steel corrosion in low-carbon structures
It is hard to imagine the modern world without concrete. Enormous quantities are used in construction worldwide, and the production of cement—its main ingredient—generates a great deal of CO₂, a greenhouse gas that accelerates ...
Medical Xpress / Regular ketamine infusions offer new hope for treatment-resistant bipolar depression
People living with treatment-resistant bipolar disorder still have options to manage their condition. However, the choices are often limited, may take weeks to work or fail to provide full relief. That has led to a search ...
Phys.org / Some disagreement makes groups more trustworthy, mathematical framework finds
When humans are making decisions, they are known not to rely solely on their own considerations and the evidence available to them. Past behavioral science and psychology studies have shown that people are often also influenced ...
Phys.org / What happens when you flush? Study reveals how toilet aerosols reach the breathing zone
Researchers from Flinders University have found that flushing toilets can release aerosols and bioaerosols into the surrounding air, with some studies detecting particles at heights corresponding to adults' breathing zones.
Medical Xpress / Soft back belts ease everyday low back pain, 12-week trial suggests
For many in the workforce, spending hours at a computer is an unavoidable part of daily life. Sitting for prolonged periods in the same position can contribute to low back pain (LBP), which affects up to 80% of people over ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists engineer ready-to-use cancer-fighting T cells for solid tumors
T-cell receptor, or TCR, therapy is a cancer treatment that genetically reprograms immune cells, called T cells, to hunt down cancer with precision. It's similar to another treatment, CAR T-cell therapy, but with one key ...
Phys.org / Prehistoric builders hauled 25-tonne stones at least 18 km to build iconic Devil's Arrows
New research has revealed that ancient builders deliberately transported enormous 25-tonne stones across at least 18 kilometers (11 miles) to build Britain's tallest surviving prehistoric stone row—the iconic Devil's Arrows.
Phys.org / New screening system flags food-packaging chemicals linked to serious health risks
Packaged food usually sits in plastic-lined bags designed to keep air, moisture and contaminants out. That same protection can also increase the chances of chemicals from the packaging seeping into the food. When a chemical ...
Phys.org / Hubble and Webb find that far-out solar system objects 'remember' the past
For the first time, scientists used the combined power of NASA's Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes to study some of the most far-flung bodies in our solar system, trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). Some are the smallest ...
Phys.org / Entangled particles revive a 35-year-old test of the Standard Model
Physicists at the BESIII Collaboration have breathed new life into a decades-old test of one of the Standard Model's most important ideas, using a technique that had gone almost untouched by experimenters for 35 years.
