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 / Hourly data reveal Alpine 100-year floods could arrive every 45 to 80 years
Heavy precipitation becomes more intense with every degree Earth warms. This affects flooding. Using hourly data from 384 rivers in the Alps, researchers from the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF modeled ...

Medical Xpress / Air pollution mixtures may pose hidden risks during pregnancy
Pregnancy puts higher oxygen demand on the body, so expectant mothers breathe significantly more air over the course of a day. When air quality is bad, they're also breathing in more harmful pollutants.
Tech Xplore / AI-powered election forecasts reveal hidden preferences inside language models
An international research team involving the University of Bayreuth has, for the first time, analyzed the "inner workings" of AI language models when predicting political voting decisions. To do so, the researchers examined ...
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 ...
Phys.org / Low-altitude flights reveal Amazon methane emissions far above climate model estimates
Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas whose concentration in the atmosphere has risen sharply in recent decades. Wetlands are the largest natural source of methane to the atmosphere, but large uncertainties remain about ...
Tech Xplore / Car‑free streets reduce noise and air pollution: Should more cities have them?
Every summer, cities around the world host car-free days and temporarily pedestrianize streets. Following their success elsewhere, temporary pedestrianized streets are becoming more common in North America, including for ...
Tech Xplore / Human-machine learning boosts noninvasive brain-computer control in untrained users
Implantable devices in the brain have been used for about 30 years to assist people with disabilities in completing motor tasks. However, the devices are simply not accessible to the vast majority of people who need help. ...
Medical Xpress / Ketogenic diets may increase cancer risk in the small intestine
A high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet, also called a ketogenic diet, can help some people lose weight by forcing their bodies to burn fat for fuel instead of sugar.
Medical Xpress / Amyloid-clearing treatment may curb tau buildup for years in Alzheimer's brain
An analysis of the brain of a deceased Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical trial participant found that regions where an anti-amyloid therapy successfully cleared amyloid plaques showed little to no evidence of tau tangles, ...
