Phys.org / Saturday Citations: Predicting earthquakes; two types of water; observing event horizons
Howdy, pards, here's a quick roundup of the week's science news: Moose, previously thought to be a transplanted species, are actually native to Colorado. A digital twin of a two-year-old child's brain revealed neural signatures ...
Phys.org / New workflow transforms nonfunctional protein scaffolds into active enzymes
Enzymes are regarded as the key to sustainable chemistry. Despite major advances in protein design, creating artificial enzymes from scratch has so far remained a grand challenge. A research team at the University of Bayreuth, ...
Phys.org / More than 1,300 excess deaths recorded in Europe heat wave: WHO
The World Health Organization said Sunday that more than 1,300 excess deaths had been recorded in Europe since June 21 in connection with the record-breaking heat wave roasting much of the continent.
Phys.org / Swiss glaciers have exhausted their snow reserves
From June 29 onward, Switzerland's glaciers will have exhausted their snow reserves. Every liter of meltwater now causes them to lose mass—this is Glacier Loss Day. Between the extreme years of 2003 and 2022 alone, 200 square ...
Phys.org / Scientists uncover evolutionary edge behind plant invasions
Plants that become invasive may owe their success to an advantage shaped long before they arrive, according to new research led by King's College London.
Phys.org / Quantum waves reveal one-sided motion marking elusive critical states
Sound waves, light waves and other types of waves, generally spread freely through space and over time. In 1958, physicist Philip W. Anderson first described a phenomenon via which irregularities or other sources of disorder ...
Phys.org / A large, harmless asteroid will zip past Earth this weekend
A large asteroid will zip past Earth this weekend, but don't worry: It poses no danger.
Medical Xpress / Anatomically accurate digital twin of 2-year-old's brain uncovers neural signatures linked to autism
For decades, researchers have been trying to understand the biological roots of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a common neurodevelopmental condition that shapes how people communicate, learn and interact with the world. ...
Phys.org / Beetle-like borings in 70-million-year-old titanosaur fossils reshape Lo Hueco fossil story
Traces or perforations caused by living organisms after an animal's death can be found on various dinosaur bone remains. These perforations, known as bioerosion structures, provide information that helps us understand relationships ...
Phys.org / Organic carbon detected in Bright Angel rock formation on Mars
In September 2025, NASA announced that its Perseverance rover had discovered a potential biosignature, which is a substance or structure that might have a biological origin. A new paper, published in Science Advances, unambiguously ...
Phys.org / Oxygen atoms in 15‑million‑year‑old giant eggshells reveal how plants reacted to a hotter Earth
Some periods in Earth's history are so different from our own that they may as well belong to another planet. Many people are interested in the age of dinosaurs or the Ice Ages, but it is an intermediate world, the Miocene ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop HIV-prevention guide without the stigma of asking about risk
The most useful thing about a new HIV prevention guide may be a question it never asks: Why do you want to know about pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP? In a pilot study at three clinics, a two-page decision aid helped people ...
