Science X / Who are his people? The 4,000-year hunt for a warrior's kin
For 4,200 years, the Y chromosome of a Yakutian warrior has quietly echoed in Siberia's Arctic peoples. His extraordinary Stone Age grave was discovered in Russia's far northeast near Yakutsk in 2004 by scientists. The middle-aged ...
Medical Xpress / First hantavirus infection could not have been during cruise: WHO expert
The first hantavirus case on the MV Hondius could not have been infected during the cruise, a World Health Organization expert told AFP on Wednesday.
Medical Xpress / Can AI-embodied surgical robots revolutionize surgery?
Embodying surgical robots with next-gen AI can safely augment practice if ethical and regulatory questions are addressed, say experts writing in Frontiers in Science. A team of pioneering surgeons and researchers from King's ...
Science X / Sweet snacks, sour moods? The unexpected connection in little kids' diets
For little kids, sugary treats might fuel tantrums while fruit-and-vegetable lovers stay calmer. New Norwegian research teases out this surprising link between preschool diets and behavior.
Tech Xplore / Water-splitting catalyst unlocks cheaper hydrogen at significantly lower temperatures
University of Birmingham research published today has shown a new low-temperature method for producing hydrogen that is suitable for both centralized hydrogen production, and also local generation using waste heat from large-scale ...
Phys.org / How a newly discovered organelle could help reduce cow methane emissions
When cows burp, they send a substantial amount of methane gas into the air, which makes them a leading contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. According to research published in the journal Science, a newly discovered hydrogen-producing ...
Phys.org / Inexpensive material compresses light, paving the way for photonic microcircuits in the terahertz range
A two-dimensional lamellar crystal composed of atomically thin layers of lead iodide (PbI2) could be used to manufacture a new generation of circuits that use light and mechanical vibrations (rather than electrons) to transmit ...
Phys.org / Babies may share adults' sense of beauty, and it appears to sharpen with age
Humans tend to be captured by things around them that they perceive as pleasurable and aesthetically pleasing. This "sense of beauty" has been widely studied extensively, mostly in experiments that involved adult participants.
Phys.org / On the ground or in the atmosphere? Swarm satellites help characterize and pinpoint destructive events
When solar storms strike Earth, they can disrupt power grids, rail systems, satellites, and even marine life. These effects arise because solar wind and geomagnetic activity disturb the magnetosphere–ionosphere system, generating ...
Tech Xplore / Musk's SpaceX strikes data center deal with Anthropic
AI startup Anthropic announced Wednesday it has agreed to a major computing partnership with Elon Musk's SpaceX, securing access to a vast data center as the Claude maker scrambles to keep pace with surging demand for its ...
Phys.org / Watch as NASA's Curiosity Rover frees its drill from a rock
This series of images shows NASA's Curiosity Mars rover as it got a rock stuck to the drill on the end of its robotic arm, and—after waving the arm and running the drill a few times—finally detached the rock. The imagery ...
Phys.org / Polar vortex forecasts gain months of lead time with new climate-based method
Florida State University researchers have discovered how to accurately predict winter weather forecasts months in advance, affording sectors such as agriculture, water management, energy use and public health a longer lead ...
