Phys.org / Call me invasive: New evidence confirms the status of the giant Asian mantis in Europe
In the realm of entomology, few creatures command as much fascination as the mantis. Throughout history, these striking insects have been deeply woven into local myths and legends, sometimes respected as mystical soothsayers ...
Tech Xplore / Physics-aware AI algorithm uses Newton's third law to keep simulations stable
A team of EPFL researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account the laws of physics—using Newton's third law. Their research is published in the journal Nature ...
Phys.org / Dense aquatic plants kept Spree River levels steady despite a near 50% flow drop
Researchers at the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) have used long-term data from the Spree River to discover that aquatic plants can compensate for declining water levels in a drier climate. ...
Phys.org / Can Baltic Sea pollution cut fertilizer imports? A lab method suggests a path
The Baltic Sea is one of the world's most oxygen-depleted major bodies of water. The reason is excessive concentrations of phosphorus, an element essential for life—and an important ingredient in fertilizer. New research ...
Tech Xplore / Humanoid robots that 'catch themselves' instead of falling: What a new walking algorithm changes
While the statement, "Humanoid robots are coming," might cause anxiety for some, for one Georgia Tech research team, working with humanlike robots couldn't be more exciting. The researchers have developed a new "thinking" ...
Medical Xpress / New 'navigator' model aims to speed cell and gene therapies to patients
Despite innovative new research, many cell and gene therapies do not make it all the way to the patients. Researchers and clinicians in Lund have now presented a new model for cooperation that will shorten lead times and ...
Phys.org / Massive ceramics haul from a 14th-century shipwreck reveals Singapore's trading past
Singapore was a thriving trading hub hundreds of years before popular narratives depicted it as a quiet fishing village, according to a study of the cargo of a centuries-old shipwreck. Sometime during the middle of the 14th ...
Phys.org / Thousands of paywalled research papers could be freed with this simple fix
Publicly funded research underpins much of daily life, from policy decisions to innovation and public debate. When research remains inaccessible, its value is diminished. Australia has made real progress on open access to ...
Medical Xpress / Kirigami-inspired sensors precisely map activity of neurons in the primate brain
Recent technological advances have opened new exciting possibilities for the development of smart prosthetics, such as artificial limbs, joints or organs that can replace injured, damaged or amputated body parts. These same ...
Phys.org / Bacterial strain from 5,000-year-old cave ice shows resistance against 10 modern antibiotics
Bacteria have evolved to adapt to all of Earth's most extreme conditions, from scorching heat to temperatures well below zero. Ice caves are just one of the environments hosting a variety of microorganisms that represent ...
Phys.org / Nanoengineers realize an on-chip excitonic hyperlens
When light passes through materials, it typically changes direction and bends in predictable ways. This change in direction, known as refraction, is caused by a change in the speed of light as it enters a new medium. In some ...
Phys.org / How massive lava fields formed in the Pacific Northwest
Volcanic eruptions are significant geologic hazards. Underwater volcanoes are challenging to study, yet they play an integral role in marine geology and may cause destructive tsunamis that can threaten coastal communities.
