Phys.org / The path to solar weather forecasts is paved with drops in cosmic rays
At times, the sun ejects energetic material into space, which can have consequences for space-based and even ground-based electronic technology. Researchers aim to understand this phenomenon and find ways to forecast it, ...
Phys.org / Sailboat measurements improve estimates of ocean CO₂ uptake
During training cruises and regattas, sailors collect valuable data for climate research at sea. A study appearing in Science Advances showed that this data can help improve estimates of the marine carbon sink.
Phys.org / This crystal sings back: Study sheds light on magnetochiral instability
Researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have reported the first observation of a dynamic magnetochiral instability in a solid-state material. Their findings, published ...
Medical Xpress / How a miniature womb on a chip can help women struggling to conceive
A team of scientists from China has successfully created a miniature womb on a chip that mimics the complex environment of the human uterus. The research offers a new way to study the exact moment an embryo attaches to a ...
Phys.org / Impact of darkwaves on marine ecosystems revealed
An international team of scientists has developed ways to measure and compare the impact of "darkwaves"—when extreme weather events or human activities reduce underwater light for extended periods, affecting the stability ...
Medical Xpress / Tiny sensor could transform head injury detection
A tiny sensor that detects hazardous head impacts the instant they occur could reshape safety monitoring in sports, transportation and other high-risk settings.
Phys.org / Board games boost young kids' math skills, research review shows
Playing linear number board games, those where players move pieces along a straight numbered path, can significantly strengthen young children's math skills, according to a new report by the HEDCO Institute for Evidence-Based ...
Tech Xplore / Understanding ammonia energy's tradeoffs around the world
Many people are optimistic about ammonia's potential as an energy source and carrier of hydrogen, and though large-scale adoption would require major changes to the way it is currently manufactured, ammonia does have a number ...
Phys.org / A new AI tool could dramatically speed up the discovery of life-saving medicines
Researchers in China have unveiled a new AI framework that could accelerate the discovery of new medicines. DrugCLIP can scan millions of potential drug compounds against thousands of protein targets in just a few hours—ten ...
Phys.org / Video game experiment reveals people value feeding their neighbors—even at a cost to themselves
For many people, the allure of video games is that they offer players a chance to enter a world very different from their own: everything from fighting dragons in a mythical realm to racing cars on an obstacle-filled roadway. ...
Medical Xpress / A new diet option for mild-to-moderate Crohn's disease
"What should I eat?" is perhaps the most common question patients with inflammatory bowel disease ask their doctors.
Phys.org / Atmospheric physicists find error in widely cited Arctic snow cover observations
For decades, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has offered a snapshot of the planet's changing climate—but University of Toronto researchers have found that some of the underlying data ...
