Tech Xplore / Volcanic rock formula cuts cement emissions by two-thirds
Researchers have developed a volcanic rock formula that cuts carbon emissions by 67%, potentially offering an affordable alternative to increasingly scarce cement additives.
Phys.org / Top takeaways from the Artemis II mission
NASA's Artemis II mission sent four astronauts—three Americans and one Canadian—on the first lunar flyby in more than 50 years.
Phys.org / Liquid-like histone H1 'glues' nucleosomes, reshaping how DNA compacts
DNA inside the nucleus is not packed as a rigid regular fiber—linker histone H1 dynamically binds and loosely "glues" nucleosomes together, creating a dynamic, fluid organization that can still support essential genome functions.
Phys.org / Experiments refute dark matter claim
The doctoral thesis of Sophia Hollick, Ph.D. '25, a recent graduate of Yale's Wright Lab in professor Reina Maruyama's group, has significantly contributed to answering a decades-long question in her field about whether or ...
Medical Xpress / Making the case for over-the-counter abortion pills: Study finds most people can accurately self-screen
Currently, in U.S. states where abortion remains legal, women have to visit specialized clinics to access in-person medication abortion, as drugs like mifepristone and misoprostol are not available over-the-counter (OTC). ...
Phys.org / Giant jars, ancient bells, buried bones and a mystery that endures
Helping to preserve artifacts, some potentially 2,000 years old, was an irresistible privilege. Since 2016, an Australian-Lao team led by Louise Shewan, Dougald O'Reilly and Thonglith Luangkhoth has conducted archaeological ...
Phys.org / Astronomers thought the early universe was full of hydrogen: Now they've found it
The Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) has discovered tens of thousands of gigantic hydrogen gas halos, called "Lyman-alpha nebulae," surrounding galaxies 10 billion to 12 billion years ago. Known as Cosmic ...
Phys.org / Carbon nanotube fiber sensors achieve record measurement error below 0.1%
Skoltech scientists, in collaboration with colleagues from China and Iran, have taken a major step toward creating highly precise carbon nanotube fiber (CNTF)-based sensors. In a paper published in the iScience journal, the ...
Medical Xpress / Mothers left in the dark over tube feeding decisions for children with Down syndrome, research reveals
A new study led by the University of Hertfordshire has highlighted the emotional toll faced by mothers of young children with Down syndrome who require tube feeding. The research, led by Dr. Laura K Hielscher, who completed ...
Phys.org / Uncharted island will soon appear on nautical charts
A 93-strong international expedition team has been exploring the northwestern Weddell Sea in the Antarctic on board the Alfred Wegener Institute's icebreaker Polarstern since February 8, 2026. In this key region for global ...
Phys.org / Nickel catalyst enables precision mirror-image assembly for key drug scaffolds
A research team led by Prof. Sangwon Seo of the Department of Physics and Chemistry at DGIST has developed a catalytic technology that can easily and elaborately assemble key structural frameworks that serve as the scaffold ...
Medical Xpress / Expanding the fight against heart disease: Q&A with specialist who welcomes shift to more aggressive recommendations
U.S. medical organizations are looking to reduce deaths caused by heart disease, the nation's No. 1 killer, with new guidelines that reframe prevention as a lifelong battle that begins with testing in childhood.
