Medical Xpress / Ancient Arctic adaptations may influence modern disease risk
Over the past 25 years, Greenlanders have experienced a dramatic increase in cardiometabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Scientists have already linked their increased risk of these diseases ...
Phys.org / Using 6,000-year-old data, scientists uncover why Europe may face 42 extra days of summer by 2100
New research led by Royal Holloway reveals for the first time why Europe could gain more than an extra month of summer days by 2100 using climate data from the last millennia.
Phys.org / Microplastics detected in 100% of donkey feces: Study links plastic pollution to animal deaths and food risks
A study by the University of Portsmouth has revealed for the first time the extent of the devastating impact of plastic pollution on livestock, humans and the wider environment on the Kenyan island of Lamu.
Phys.org / Chinese telescope captures 155 high-frequency bursts from fast radio burst 20240114A
Using the Tianma Radio Telescope (TMRT), researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted 66 simultaneous dual‑frequency (2.25 GHz/8.60 GHz) observations of the ...
Phys.org / Europa clipper captures Uranus with star tracker camera
NASA's Europa Clipper captured this image of a starfield—and the planet Uranus—on Nov. 5, 2025, while experimenting with one of its two stellar reference units. These star-tracking cameras are used for maintaining spacecraft ...
Tech Xplore / Wargaming: The surprisingly effective tool that can help us prepare for modern crises
Consider the following scenario. There's a ransomware attack, enhanced by AI, which paralyzes NHS systems—delaying medical care across the country.
Phys.org / Coaxing bilayer graphene into a single diamond-like layer for industrial applications
Graphene's enduring appeal lies in its remarkable combination of lightness, flexibility, and strength. Now, researchers have shown that under pressure, it can briefly take on the traits of one of its more glamorous carbon ...
Tech Xplore / Half of novelists believe AI is likely to replace their work entirely, research finds
Just over half (51%) of published novelists in the UK believe that artificial intelligence is likely to end up entirely replacing their work as fiction writers, a new University of Cambridge report shows.
Phys.org / Soil carbon decomposition varies vastly, holding implications for climate models
Soil stores more carbon than Earth's atmosphere and plants combined, which makes the speed of soil carbon's decomposition an important variable in models used to predict changes to our climate.
Tech Xplore / Artificial neuron can mimic different parts of the brain—a major step toward human-like robotics
Robots that can sense and respond to the world like humans may soon be a reality as scientists have created an artificial neuron capable of mimicking different parts of the brain.
Phys.org / How a plant-parasitic nematode can infect a wide range of organisms
UC Davis nematologists, including Valerie Williamson, professor emerita in the Department of Plant Pathology, and associate professor Shahid Siddique, Department of Entomology and Nematology, have long wondered how a plant-parasitic ...
Medical Xpress / Gene scissors in camouflage mode help in the search for cancer therapies
The immune system plays a crucial role in fighting tumors and metastases. Consequently, it is decisive to conduct cancer research in mouse models with an immune system that is as natural as possible—which is easier said ...
