Phys.org / One of the most distant 'leaky' galaxies ever found may reveal how the universe reionized
Astronomers have identified one of the most distant candidate galaxies known to leak ionizing radiation—the same kind of radiation thought to have transformed the early universe during the epoch of reionization.
Science X / This widely used PCOS supplement shows promise for fertility, but the evidence isn't settled
For women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the journey to fertility can be difficult. But what if a simple, natural supplement could provide a big boost? This hopeful question has focused attention on myo-inositol, ...
Phys.org / Open cluster NGC 6134 in Norma is 1.38 billion years old and hosts a core, tidal tail and diffuse halo
Indonesian astronomers have conducted a comprehensive study of an open cluster in the constellation Norma, known as NGC 6134. Results of the new study, available in a research paper published June 23 on the preprint server ...
Phys.org / Scrolling for science: How a Twitter post discovered a new wasp in Fukuoka, Japan
The next time you post a nature photo online, you might be contributing to a major scientific breakthrough—just as several citizen scientists did when they helped discover the wasp Eupelmus curvator in Japan.
Tech Xplore / Electrochemical research takes major strides towards harvesting a vital battery material
The supply of lithium—the battery material that keeps digital devices humming, EVs racing and renewable energy on the grid—will not meet even half the expected demand by 2040.
Phys.org / Beyond 3-D: Data scientists introduce novel AI tool to interpret complex biological data
As humans, our eyes take in two-dimensional images that our brains convert to three-dimensional experiences. This ability enables us to be aware of our position in space, judge distances, possess depth perception, and visually ...
Science X / Carvings of shamans entering rock cracks may link to Siberian initiation rites
In the rugged landscapes of southern Siberia, rare images of shamans disappearing into the cracks of mountains can be found. Hundreds of years old and their artists long gone, their meaning remains a mystery. But perhaps ...
Tech Xplore / AI changes its behavior around authority... and that could be risky
Artificial intelligence doesn't just learn how humans talk. It may also be learning who gets listened to. A new study from researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found that large language models, the ...
Phys.org / Orbit overload could devastate astronomy if 1.7 million proposed satellites brighten night sky
A new European Southern Observatory (ESO) study has found that current proposals to launch more than 1.7 million satellites into orbit, including extremely bright ones, would have "devastating consequences for astronomy." ...
Phys.org / Martian dust storms may generate atmospheric electrical conditions that could impact future missions
A new study by a doctoral researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), part of The University of Alabama System, suggests global dust storms on Mars may organize the Martian atmosphere into regions favorable ...
Medical Xpress / Rising summer heat linked to higher US youth suicide rates, especially ages 15 to 24
From India to the U.S. and across Europe, millions are enduring an intense heat wave as temperatures soar to an unbearable range. Summers over the past few years have been extremely hot in these regions because of the combined ...
Phys.org / Quantum computer simulates hadronization, reproducing string breaking with 104 qubits
By remotely accessing an IBM quantum computer, a research scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has successfully simulated a key process in particle physics: hadronization. Although based on a simplified model ...
