Phys.org / Flint reveals changes in human mobility in the southern Pyrenees during the Upper Paleolithic
Analysis of more than 3,000 lithic artifacts from the Cova Gran de Santa Linya site (Les Avellanes-Santa Linya, Lleida) shows that anatomically modern human communities occupying the southern Pyrenees during the Upper Paleolithic ...
Tech Xplore / AI-powered stretchable computing patch can run algorithms directly on the body
A new skin-like computing patch developed at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) can analyze health data using artificial intelligence in an unprecedented way. Unlike today's ...
Phys.org / Piezoelectric effect in diamond membranes challenges century-old scientific dogma
A research team in China has reported a significant piezoelectric effect in ultrathin and ultra-flexible polycrystalline diamond membranes. This pioneering discovery challenges a century-long scientific dogma that diamonds ...
Phys.org / Work capacity changes could reveal sick leave risk early in workplace, thesis suggests
Changes in work capacity can provide early signals for who is at risk of sick leave, according to a doctoral thesis from the University of Gothenburg. The findings point to new ways to identify the need for support before ...
Medical Xpress / 'Pink noise' can help make anesthesia work better during surgery
In the brain, specific electrical waves are associated with different states of consciousness. For instance, delta waves—also known as slow waves—are especially prevalent during deep sleep, as well as during states of unconsciousness ...
Phys.org / Ice core discovery finds volcanic eruptions could cause greater global disruption than previously thought
New research from the University of St Andrews has precisely dated an eruption from Newberry Volcano and discovered that its ash spread more than 5,000 km across the globe, far further than previously thought for an eruption ...
Phys.org / Blue and fin whale sightings on the rise in the Southeast Atlantic
More than 40 years after the end of commercial whaling, new research reveals a recent increase in sightings of the world's two largest whale species in the southeastern Atlantic. The findings, published in the African Journal ...
Phys.org / Hope boosts climate problem-solving, new experiments suggest
A new study has shown that messages of hope can be effective in promoting creative problem-solving around sustainability. Experts from the University of Nottingham's School of Psychology developed a new measure of climate ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists capture 'housekeeping' immune cells attacking live melanoma
Scientists at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have captured, for the first time, "housekeeping" immune cells actively attacking and engulfing live melanoma cells—a discovery that could change the way we approach ...
Medical Xpress / AI atlas reveals hidden whole-body-damage caused by obesity
Obesity affects far more than metabolism and fat storage. It alters immune activity, nerve structure, and tissue organization across multiple organ systems, increasing the risk of diseases including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular ...
Phys.org / After 10 years of upgrades, this legendary telescope has returned to chase black holes, asteroids and cosmic chemistry
The Haystack 37m Telescope has been a landmark in radio astronomy and radar studies of the solar system since its first light in 1964. Over the following four decades, it supported NASA's Apollo landings on the moon, made ...
Phys.org / The Bayeux Tapestry tells only the winner's story—but the other side can be found in old English texts
As the Bayeux Tapestry comes to London, the year 1066 and the Norman Conquest are in the spotlight. The tapestry—an embroidered cloth nearly 70 meters long, created soon after the events it depicts—tells the story of the ...
