Phys.org / Climate change could expand habitats for malaria mosquitoes, researchers warn
An insistent buzzing at sunset followed by itchy, spotted legs. Here in Denmark, mosquitoes are mostly an annoying—but generally harmless—nuisance. That is far from the case in many parts of the world.
Phys.org / An archaeologist is racing to preserve Sudan's heritage as war threatens to erase its cultural past
In a dimly lit office in a corner of the French National Institute for Art History, Sudanese archaeologist Shadia Abdrabo studies a photograph of pottery made in her country around 7,000 B.C. She carefully types a description ...
Phys.org / Meteorite crater hosts methane-making microbes—a clue to life on Mars?
Scientists have discovered living microbes producing methane in the fractured rocks deep inside Sweden's Siljan impact crater, offering insights into Earth's earliest life and the search for life beyond our planet.
Medical Xpress / Human brains are preconfigured with instructions for understanding the world, evidence suggests
Humans have long wondered when and how we begin to form thoughts. Are we born with a pre-configured brain, or do thought patterns only begin to emerge in response to our sensory experiences of the world around us? Now, science ...
Phys.org / A taste of the sea: Comparing five edible seaweeds
Researchers at the Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT) and the University of Bremen have studied the nutritional value of five edible seaweed species, including some lesser-known algae, and examined their potential ...
Phys.org / Quantum key distribution enables secure communication via hybrid and mobile channels
As part of the QuNET project, researchers have demonstrated how quantum key distribution works reliably via hybrid and mobile channels. The results are milestones for sovereign, quantum-secured communication in Germany and ...
Phys.org / New CO₂ conversion system slashes energy use and triples formic acid production
A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a novel electrochemical system that converts carbon dioxide (CO₂), a major contributor to climate change, into high-value chemical products, like formic acid. This new ...
Medical Xpress / Rare mutation protects brain's immune cells from Alzheimer's disease
Rutgers neuroscientist Peng Jiang and his neuroscience colleague Mengmeng Jin have made a discovery they say could reshape how scientists think about Alzheimer's treatment.
Tech Xplore / 3D printing researchers develop fast-curing, environmentally friendly concrete substitute
Researchers at Oregon State University have developed a quick-setting, environmentally friendly alternative to concrete they hope can one day be used to rapidly 3D print homes and infrastructure.
Tech Xplore / Magnetic fields power smarter soft robots with built-in intelligence
Soft robots are prized for their agility and gentle touch, which makes them ideal for traversing delicate or enclosed spaces to perform various tasks, from cultivating baby corals in laboratories to inspecting industrial ...
Phys.org / Covalent organic frameworks grown through coupling reactions unlock new class of semiconducting magnets
Chemists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a methodology to enable coupling reactions for the growth of crystalline porous covalent organic frameworks, unlocking a new class of semiconducting magnets. ...
Phys.org / The DEVILS in the details: How the cosmic landscape impacts the galaxy lifecycle
A team of astronomers from the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) has released new data from an extensive galaxy evolution survey that found a galaxy's "neighborhood" plays a major role in how it changes ...
