Phys.org / Films written by women make studios the most money, but budgets go to male filmmakers: Study
When the lights come back on and credits start rolling, it's easy to see that some of the most successful movies of the past few years—from "Avatar: The Way of Water" and "Jurassic World" to "Barbie"—were co-directed or co-written ...
Phys.org / Virtual cells built from 4D AI models and 'digital twins' could speed up drug discovery
Mitochondria—tiny structures that convert nutrients into energy—are often depicted as discrete kidney bean-shaped objects. But in reality, they form a dynamic, interconnected network throughout the entire cell, rapidly splitting ...
Phys.org / Exploring the brain and behavior of children who struggle with math
Some children have a condition that causes them to persistently struggle with math problem-solving (developmental dyscalculia), yet behavioral and mechanistic details about this condition are lacking.
Phys.org / Young users ditch Google for AI, with unknown consequences
Researchers have found that we know very little about how artificial intelligence use impacts younger school children's ability to learn and think.
Phys.org / Fairness-based pathways shift emissions cuts while preserving global climate goals
Who cuts emissions fastest, and who supports others in doing so, are central questions in global climate action. New IIASA-led research shows that building fairness into climate models from the start can inform deliberations ...
Medical Xpress / Early retinal dopamine imbalance appears across two inherited eye disease models
A new study by researchers at the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) reports changes in the dopamine system of the retina during inherited retinal degeneration. Inherited retinal degenerations form a diverse group of genetic ...
Phys.org / As cities prepare for 2026's super El Niño, some crucial blind spots can't be ignored
This year's El Niño has the potential to be one of the strongest in living memory, and the evidence is showing up around the world.
Tech Xplore / Researchers evaluate materials for solid-state batteries under practical manufacturing conditions
A battery material can meet key performance measures in a small laboratory cell yet fall short when researchers build it into a complete battery cell. At the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers test green tea extract in search of preventative treatments for Alzheimer's disease
Three University of Waterloo students are conducting research in Dr. Zoya Leonenko's lab, searching for answers to Alzheimer's disease at the nanoscale. Charlotte Baur (fourth-year biological and medical physics), Hugh Hossfeld ...
Phys.org / Deep-sea hydrothermal vents may be a hot spot for pregnant Antarctic krill
Antarctic krill are tiny shrimp-like creatures that were previously thought to mostly inhabit the upper layer of the Southern Ocean. Although they had occasionally been observed at deeper levels, they were never seen near ...
Phys.org / Mathematician challenges a 2,000-year-old legend about the Parthenon's optical illusions
One of Athens' crowning jewels is the Parthenon, a classical temple on the Acropolis that overlooks the Greek capital. According to legend, many historians, textbooks and tour guides say the ancient Greek architects who designed ...
Phys.org / New benchmark puts quantum computers to the test and reveals their limitations
Quantum computers are no longer theoretical concepts. Today, they are being developed to tackle a range of complex problems, including exploring financial risk, modeling complex molecules and optimizing massive logistics ...
