Phys.org / Warming El Nino set to return in mid-2026: UN
The El Niño weather phenomenon, which pushed global temperatures to record highs the last time around, is expected to return in mid-2026, the UN said Friday.
Medical Xpress / How red blood cells keep making hemoglobin under stress could reshape anemia treatment
Scientists have long been puzzled by how maturing red blood cells manage to produce all the hemoglobin they need to carry oxygen to tissues, even after shedding the vital structures they need to produce it.
Medical Xpress / New study finds states with stronger firearm laws have lower rates of youth-perpetrated firearm homicide
Firearm violence is the leading cause of death among U.S. youth. A new study from Boston Children's Hospital found that youth-perpetrated firearm homicides increased by 41% between 2018 and 2022. Stronger firearm laws were ...
Phys.org / Laser-plasma 'mirror' unlocks a new path to extreme light intensities
An international team of physicists has achieved a significant advance in laser science, demonstrating for the first time a practical route to dramatically boosting the intensity of high-power laser light.
Phys.org / Waste biomass helps unlock hydrogen and formate in lower-energy electrolysis
A research team has developed a high-efficiency electrochemical system that simultaneously produces hydrogen and value-added chemicals using glycerol, a low-cost, abundant byproduct of biodiesel production. The findings are ...
Tech Xplore / Most electric vehicle owners are those with higher incomes and higher levels of education
A joint study by the EHU-University of the Basque Country and the BC3 research center reveals that EVs are concentrated in households with high incomes, higher levels of education and located in urban areas, which highlights ...
Phys.org / Scientists call for integrating three energy demand goals into climate policy by 2035
A new article published in Science argues that governments should adopt three integrated energy demand goals by 2035, warning that climate policy will fall short unless it focuses not only on how energy is produced, but also ...
Medical Xpress / COVID-19 and severe heart attack increase mortality by 25% after 1 year, more than double pre-pandemic rates
Findings from the North American COVID-19 Myocardial Infarction (NACMI) registry demonstrate significantly higher one-year mortality rates in patients with COVID-19 and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) compared ...
Tech Xplore / Universal model sets standards for perovskite solar cells
Perovskite solar cells, PSCs, have emerged as one of the most promising renewable energy technologies of the past decade. Besides their remarkable power conversion rates, perovskites are lightweight in nature and can be manufactured ...
Tech Xplore / Germany launches spying probe into Signal attacks targeting MPs
German prosecutors Friday launched a spying investigation into phishing attacks targeting lawmakers on the Signal messaging app, with an MP saying the latest Russia-directed plot against Germany was a "wake-up call."
Phys.org / Turning vibrations into value—a new catalyst converts CO₂ into useful CO
Researchers at The University of Osaka have developed a catalyst that uses vibrational energy to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO), an important industrial feedstock. The work, published in the Journal ...
Phys.org / Simple ocean-based model forecasts a powerful El Niño, over 2 °C warmer than normal
For decades, scientists have worked to improve predictions of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a climate powerhouse that can cause droughts, flooding, marine heat waves, and more around the world. Researchers from the ...
