We've all been there. You spend an hour at the gym, and before you even reach the locker room, you start thinking about your favorite takeout meal—after all, you've earned it!
Phys.org / Switching gravity on and off leaves particles behind, mathematical model finds
Hawking radiation causes black holes to eventually evaporate. This is because particle pairs are spontaneously created near the event horizon (the position of the last ray of light that can escape the black hole's gravitational ...
Phys.org / What's in an 'O'? Unusual Greek spelling may unlock mystery of ring tied to Pontius Pilate
It's a small, simple ring made of copper alloy and engraved with a handful of Greek letters and the image of a pottery vessel. But its unremarkable appearance belies a remarkable history: The signet was likely connected in ...
Phys.org / Researchers test far-ultraviolet light to prevent bird flu in poultry
When a strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza, or HPAI, tore through U.S. poultry farms in early 2025, farmers culled tens of millions of birds, and egg prices soared.
Phys.org / Divergent molecular mechanisms for fungal plant biomass conversion
Fungi are major degraders of plant biomass, including leaves, stems and roots. Investigating the molecular mechanisms that control this process is essential for identifying ways to degrade and use lignocellulose, a recalcitrant ...
Phys.org / Not tiger, not wolf: Australian thylacine skull reveals a far different hunting style
A new study led by Flinders University has flipped the historical narrative about Australia's thylacine, finding the native apex predator known as the "Tasmanian tiger" was significantly different from the wolves and wild ...
Medical Xpress / The blueprint for taste: Scientists map the neural circuitry behind feeding decisions in fruit flies
Everything you eat passes one checkpoint before it enters your body: taste. In a fraction of a second, it decides what gets swallowed and what gets rejected, a judgment call critical to survival. Now, for the first time, ...
Phys.org / Climate risk is changing where banks lend—before disaster strikes
Whether buying a home or opening a local business, affordability is no longer the only question people should be asking, says Kristle Romero Cortes, an associate professor. They should also consider what their property might ...
Phys.org / Volunteers fight uphill battle against Indonesian fires
Twice already this week, Indonesian volunteer firefighter Kristoforus Sinyong worked throughout the night fighting some of the blazes that have consumed swaths of the island of Borneo.
Phys.org / Blue Origin's New Glenn explosion shows infrasound can detect rocket accidents from up to 1,700 kilometers away
When Blue Origin's New Glenn launch vehicle accidentally exploded during a static test fire in May 2026, the explosion generated low frequency soundwaves below the range of human hearing.
Phys.org / AI helps dentists practice the conversations that matter
A University of Rochester collaboration is using an AI-powered virtual patient to help dentists strengthen their communication, build trust and better respond to patients' fears and concerns. For many patients, sitting in ...
Phys.org / PACMAN AI framework for controlling fusion systems safely makes key decisions in milliseconds
Inside some fusion energy systems, particles hotter than the core of the sun can become unruly in a few thousandths of a second, far faster than any human operator can react. A new software framework developed by researchers ...
