Medical Xpress / Brainwaves of mothers and children synchronize when playing together—even in an acquired language
Interbrain synchrony is the simultaneous activity of neural networks across the brains of people who are socially interacting—for example, talking, learning, singing, or working together. Having brains that are thus synchronized ...
Medical Xpress / A gel for wounds that won't heal: Oxygen-delivering technology can prevent amputations
As aging populations and rising diabetes rates drive an increase in chronic wounds, more patients face the risk of amputations. UC Riverside researchers have developed an oxygen-delivering gel capable of healing injuries ...
Phys.org / Record-breaking Antarctic drill reveals 23 million years of climate history
An international team featuring faculty at Binghamton University, State University of New York has drilled the longest ever sediment core from under an ice sheet, providing a record stretching back millions of years that ...
Phys.org / A bacterium's built-in compass, explained: Single-cell magnetometry confirms Earth-field alignment
Some bacterial species possess an astonishing ability: They use Earth's magnetic field to orient themselves. To better understand this mechanism, the team led by Argovia-Professor Martino Poggio from the Swiss Nanoscience ...
Phys.org / Gotland hunter-gatherer graves hint at how Stone Age families organized
A woman was buried with two children, but they were not her own. In another grave, two children were placed. They were not siblings and were more distantly related, perhaps cousins. In a new study published in the Proceedings ...
Phys.org / Silicon quantum processor detects single-qubit errors while preserving entanglement
Quantum computers are alternative computing devices that process information, leveraging quantum mechanical effects, such as entanglement between different particles. Entanglement establishes a link between particles that ...
Phys.org / Japan's ancient 'tigers' were actually cave lions, DNA evidence shows
There aren't any native lion or tiger populations living in Japan today, but this was not always the case. Fossil evidence indicates that at least one species of large cat roamed the archipelago during the Late Pleistocene—a ...
Phys.org / Nitrogen pollution is rising: What a new global map means for forest carbon
On a cool spring morning in a northern forest, the ground feels soft underfoot. Mist hangs between the trunks, and the air smells of wet leaves and old humus; the slow alchemy that keeps a forest alive. Beneath the surface, ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover recent tectonic activity on the moon
Scientists have produced the first global map and analysis of small mare ridges (SMRs) on the moon, a characteristic geological feature of tectonic activity. Published in The Planetary Science Journal Dec. 24, 2025, the analysis ...
Medical Xpress / Myopia is driven by how we use our eyes indoors, new research suggests
For years, rising rates of myopia—or nearsightedness—have been widely attributed to increased screen time, especially among children and young adults. But new research from scientists at the SUNY College of Optometry ...
Phys.org / How one genome creates two distinct fungal bodies
Creatures that can change from one form to another are a staple of science fiction: Think werewolves and Transformers. Nature, too, has its shapeshifters, such as dimorphic fungi. While scientists have known for some time ...
Phys.org / The ice on Greenland is acting strangely: Scientists believe they finally know why
Deep inside the Greenland ice sheet are giant swirling plume-like structures. These have puzzled scientists for over a decade, but UiB researchers now believe they have cracked the mystery by applying the same mathematics ...
