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 ...
Phys.org / The 20th data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), the largest multispectral imaging and spectroscopic redshift survey of the cosmos, has released its 20th data release (DR 20). It is also the third release of the survey's fifth phase ...
Medical Xpress / Migraine treatment gets a rethink: New guide prioritizes patient voice and choice
A migraine headache can easily bring someone's usual day to a halt. The intense throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head, often comes with nausea, vision disturbances and light sensitivity. Preventive medicines work ...
Phys.org / Away from grand temples, a recycled Bronze Age burial mound became the focus of a Roman religious complex
The Romans were master engineers, building sprawling road networks, towering aqueducts and arenas across their empire. They were also good at recycling. New research has revealed that they turned the remains of a 4,000-year-old ...
Phys.org / Growing up socially isolated linked to young people becoming NEET
About 1 million young people in the UK are not in education, employment or training (NEET). The consequences for their health and income can be significant and long-lasting, with costs to the economy as well.
Phys.org / When biology inspires mathematics: Hidden symmetries explain why widely used evolutionary methods can give false answers
Why do some groups of organisms contain thousands of species while others have only a handful? Evolutionary biologists have spent decades trying to answer this question using mathematical models that estimate how biological ...
Phys.org / New digital tool shows exactly where California's water goes—and how climate change might disrupt it
Water has always been one of California's most contested resources. For more than a century, battles have raged over how much of the state's water should be diverted to farmland, pumped into cities or used to conserve aquatic ...
Phys.org / New report offers lessons for preserving cultural heritage in crisis zones
The report, "Digital heritage preservation for vulnerable collections: Reflections on the Sudan Memory project history and inventory," was authored by Dr. Laura Gibson, senior lecturer in digital content management education ...
Phys.org / Could bats self-medicate? More than 50 wild bats offer clues
When humans get sick, we change our routines and try various solutions to feel better and get well, like staying in bed to rest, going to the doctor, getting medication from the pharmacy, using home remedies and more.
Phys.org / Breaking through AlphaFold's limits to predict how proteins change shape
Conformational changes in proteins are vital to their function yet remain challenging for state-of-the-art artificial intelligence, such as AlphaFold3, to predict. Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS), ...
Phys.org / The biggest black hole merger ever observed could be less massive than it appears
Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime created when pairs of black holes spiral into each other and eventually merge. But if this ripple has been warped by another massive object on its way to Earth, a new analysis ...
Tech Xplore / New method blends real-time 3D rendering with more accurate surface geometry
Reconstructing a three-dimensional object or environment from multiple photographs is a central problem in computer vision. The resulting models support applications such as robotics, augmented and virtual reality, digital ...
