Phys.org / Why are some people mosquito magnets? Clues are emerging
Ever felt like mosquitoes bite you while ignoring everyone else? Scientists are now making progress in deciphering the complex chemical cocktail that makes particular people more enticing to these disease-spreading bloodsuckers.
Tech Xplore / Crackdown in Southeast Asia pushes scam networks to Sri Lanka
A surge in arrests of suspected foreign scammers in Sri Lanka has authorities concerned that the island is fast becoming a hub for online crime, following sweeping crackdowns in hotspots Cambodia and Myanmar.
Phys.org / Mostly empty foam overturns assumptions of electron beam stopping
When physicists fire beams of fast electrons at materials, they often need to know exactly how much energy those electrons will lose as they travel through. Through new research published in Physical Review Letters, a team ...
Phys.org / Recreating dying stars reveals hydrogen's key role in cosmic dust formation
Silicon carbide (SiC) dust is one of the most important ingredients in cosmic dust, the tiny particles floating throughout the cosmos that eventually give rise to new planets and stars. This compound of silicon and carbon ...
Phys.org / JWST spots two early black holes growing far faster than their galaxies
Astronomers have discovered two early-universe galaxies where the central black holes appear to have grown far faster than their host galaxies. Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal that the black ...
Science X / Are remoras the ocean's weirdest hitchhikers? These suckerfish invade manta rays in the most intimate of places
Remoras (family Echeneidae) are ray-finned fish that are known to attach themselves to large marine animals, such as whales, sharks, and turtles. They get a free ride and sometimes food, and in return, often provide cleaning ...
Science X / 60 years of data reveal the biggest source of workplace stress
It's not uncommon to come across job descriptions on portals that are lengthy, yet leave the reader with little clarity about what the role actually involves. Uncertainty about one's role at work may be more damaging than ...
Phys.org / Sustainable chemistry: Iron substitutes noble metals in catalytic reactions
The production of many products used in everyday life and in industry, such as pharmaceuticals, plastics, and coatings, requires chemical catalysts, often expensive noble metals with limited availability. Researchers at the ...
Tech Xplore / Quantum dot emitter delivers near-identical telecom photons at 40 million per second
Quantum technologies, devices that perform specific functions leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform their classical counterparts on some tasks. Quantum emitters, devices that release individual particles ...
Medical Xpress / How lungs balance defense and damage by tuning responses to deeper threats
Barrier organs that form boundaries between the body and the outside environment, such as the lungs, skin, and intestines, face a difficult balancing act. They must respond quickly to threats such as infection, but they also ...
Medical Xpress / Pediatric pulmonary rehab improves exercise ability, quality of life
New research presented at the 2026 ATS International Conference shows that pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) significantly improves functioning and quality of life in children with chronic respiratory conditions, regardless of ...
Science X / Cities are rewriting growth rules as wealth rises, pollution drops and a long-assumed link starts to break
Cities are a double-edged sword. They provide plenty of job opportunities, and most of the world's money is made in them, but on the other hand, they create most of the planet's pollution. For decades, the prevailing view ...
