Phys.org / 'Hot Jupiter' orbiting a metal-poor star discovered
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new "hot Jupiter" exoplanet. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-7169 b, orbits a metal-poor star, which ...
Medical Xpress / Imaging study sheds light on how deep brain stimulation acts on Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes tremors, body stiffness and other difficulties with movement and balance, which progressively worsen over time. While there is currently no cure for PD, ...
Phys.org / New solar telescope turns sunspots into exoplanet-finding weapons
The Paranal solar ESPRESSO Telescope (PoET), installed at the European Southern Observatory's (ESO's) Paranal site in Chile, has made its first observations. The telescope will work with ESO's ESPRESSO instrument to study ...
Medical Xpress / Physiotherapist turnover intention threatening patient care
Nearly 40% of public-sector physiotherapists want to leave their current job, posing a substantial threat to workforce stability and quality of patient care, University of Otago—Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka research has found. The ...
Phys.org / Artemis II astronauts make long-distance call to the space station as they head home from the moon
Still aglow from their triumphant lunar flyby, the Artemis II astronauts made more history Tuesday: calling their friends aboard the International Space Station hundreds of thousands of miles away as they headed home from ...
Phys.org / It's OK to love all the bees (the honey bees, too)
North America's bee populations are in trouble, but don't blame the honey bees. While some people argue that an overabundance of managed honey bees—those raised to help pollinate crops and produce honey—is causing native ...
Tech Xplore / Resilient actuator shows potential for space-ready soft robots
To be safely and reliably deployed in outer space, underwater and in other extreme environments, robots need to be able to withstand harsh conditions without breaking. In addition, they should be able to promptly and rapidly ...
Medical Xpress / Visualizing the global burden of facial pain
Facial pain is one of the most common forms of chronic pain. Despite this, there has previously been no standardized burden measurements, such as impact on the individual and health care costs across countries and in relation ...
Tech Xplore / Polymer electrolyte lets the ions flow for solid-state batteries
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have uncovered a path to design superionic polymer electrolytes for solid-state batteries and other energy applications that could help ensure a future ...
Medical Xpress / New study challenges widespread belief about fish oil's effects on brain
A first-of-its-kind study led by the Medical University of South Carolina raises questions about the value of fish oil supplements for people with repetitive mild traumatic brain injuries. In work published in Cell Reports, ...
Medical Xpress / Influenza frequently missed in winter deaths, new study finds
A population-based study, published in Clinical Microbiology and Infection and due to be presented next week at ESCMID Global 2026, has found that influenza was detected in 11% of winter deaths, yet only 17% of these infections ...
Phys.org / More than a pretty picture, star-shaped nanomaterial changes energy storage
When created at the nanoscale, materials can resemble shapes like stars, rods or even pyramids. These particle shapes, also known as the morphologies of a solid, make for more than just interesting images under a microscope—they ...
