Phys.org / Tree size, not age, may speed habitat recovery for endangered Indiana bats
Bugs run rampant in the summer, and if you have ever suffered a mosquito bite and regretted not putting on bug spray, you should know about nature's insect repellent: the Indiana bat. Federally endangered since 1967, the ...
Phys.org / Tiny ancient fish fossil with preserved brain offers clues to early fish evolution
Over 300 million years ago, a minnow-sized fish died and fell to the bottom of a prehistoric swamp near the village of Trawden, Lancashire, in northwest England. The remains of this tiny fish—known as Trawdenia planti—became ...
Phys.org / 'Super typhoon' Bavi heads for US Pacific islands
People in Guam and the Northern Marianas hunkered down on Saturday as the second "super typhoon" to hit the U.S. Pacific territories since April approached with the equivalent of Category 5 hurricane winds.
Phys.org / Coastal and estuarine carbon removal technique may backfire when pushed too far
Scientists investigating a proposed way to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using seawater have found that adding too much alkalinity to neutralize acids can trigger chemical reactions that undermine the process.
Tech Xplore / Electrochemical research takes major strides towards harvesting a vital battery material
The supply of lithium—the battery material that keeps digital devices humming, EVs racing and renewable energy on the grid—will not meet even half the expected demand by 2040.
Phys.org / Gut parasite alters honey bee smell as infection progresses, potentially changing hive behavior
Honey bees infected with a gut parasite smell different, which could allow bee colonies to detect disease and influence behavior inside the hive, new research finds.
Tech Xplore / Physical pressure could make EV batteries last twice as long and reduce environmental impact
The key to making longer-lasting electric vehicle batteries may not be specialized materials or new chemistry, but simple physical pressure, according to new research.
Phys.org / Some boreal forest species fail to recover even 100 years after clearcutting
Boreal forests are being clear-cut faster than some of their wildlife and plant species can recover, with a few failing to return even 100 years after harvesting, according to University of Alberta-led research.
Medical Xpress / Brain scans reveal impaired waste clearance in ME/CFS, offering clue to brain fog
The brain's waste clearance system is impaired in people living with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), which can lead to various symptoms, including brain fog, Griffith University researchers have ...
Tech Xplore / AI-human relationships are real and come with risks, researchers find
Human-AI relationships are no longer confined to the domain of science fiction. As the technology has developed, AI chatbots have evolved from playing a role in search engines and image-generation tools into confidants, therapists ...
Phys.org / Abandoned farmland restored to wildflower meadow without sowing seeds
Abandoned farmland can be transformed into wildflower-rich grassland habitat without the need for expensive and labor-intensive seeding, a new study by UCL researchers finds.
Phys.org / Complex food webs sustain ecosystem functioning
Healthy ecosystems depend on more than just having lots of species—they rely on the complex relationships between plants, prey and predators, according to new international research led by the University of Waikato and the ...
