Phys.org / Advanced optical imaging reveals hidden activity in blood immune cells
A routine blood sample contains a diverse collection of immune cells that can reveal important clues about health and disease. These cells, known as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), are widely used to study infections, ...
Phys.org / Feeling angry? Don't blow off steam. Try these tips instead
After a bad night's sleep, you squabble with your kids at breakfast. Then a neighbor blocks you in. When you finally get to work an hour late, your boss makes one more impossible demand. No wonder you're angry with the world.
Tech Xplore / Brain activity patterns could help sharpen LLM deductive reasoning
Large language models (LLMs), the artificial intelligence systems underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and other similar conversational agents, are now widely used worldwide. In addition to processing, interpreting ...
Phys.org / Investments promising social or environmental benefits need tougher anti‑greenwashing rules
Investment funds increasingly promise to deliver social or environmental benefits alongside financial returns. Regulators rightly ask whether these "impact investment" claims are accurate.
Tech Xplore / Domain-informed AI could help electricity grids plan for rising demand and changing climate
Artificial intelligence has become a major new pressure on the electricity grid at the same time as it is emerging as one of the most promising tools for making that grid resilient, according to a new publication by United ...
Phys.org / One unexplained event could hint at heavy dark matter
An unexplained signal detected by the world's most sensitive dark matter experiment could mark a major breakthrough in the hunt for the elusive substance, according to an analysis involving scientists from the University ...
Phys.org / Physicists finally put Feynman's path integral to the test
For nearly 80 years, physicists have relied on a thought experiment created by Richard Feynman to predict how quantum particles behave. For the first time, researchers in China have tested this trick directly in the lab.
Phys.org / Geomagnetic superstorm shook GPS accuracy across the US—its timing may have averted agricultural losses
On Nov. 11, 2025, Earth experienced a severe geomagnetic storm triggered by solar flares and coronal mass ejections from an active sunspot region. While this kind of storm brings beautiful auroras admired in many areas around ...
Phys.org / Weak sea-surface temperature gradients may fuel stronger tropical cyclones
The fact that the ocean gets colder as you go deeper is fairly intuitive, but a similar gradient exists along the surface of the ocean, even at scales of 1 kilometer to tens of kilometers. A new study, published in the Proceedings ...
Phys.org / Peacock-like displays outpace antlers and tusks in evolutionary change, model suggests
Many animal species, ranging from peacocks and birds of paradise to some lizards, fish and beetles, display physical features or ornaments that can attract potential mates. These ornaments can include colorful plumage, elaborate ...
Phys.org / One quarter of Australian kids are 'developmentally vulnerable' when they start school
We know the first five years are a crucial time in a child's life. Early experiences, such as family relationships or exposure to trauma, shape brain architecture, which lays the foundation for children's learning, behavior ...
Phys.org / Giant impact could have formed an intact moon within five hours, simulations suggest
New Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) modeling, conducted in collaboration with scientists at the University of Arizona, shows fundamental differences in how the moon may have formed from the giant impact that created the ...
