Phys.org / Magnetic fingerprint of a cosmic explosion detected for the first time
Astronomers have made a series of landmark observations of one of the universe's most violent events. Using the U.S. National Science Foundation Very Large Array (NSF VLA) radio telescope, which is operated by the U.S. National ...
Medical Xpress / Why some people are more prone to negative emotions than others
Why are some people particularly prone to anxiety, worry or stress, while others remain more composed? An international study led by the Central Institute of Mental Health (CIMH) shows that the amygdala—previously considered ...
Phys.org / The spin of Pluto's moon, Charon, may be slowing down
Evidence of the slowing of Charon's spin period (despinning) is recorded in tectonic features on the surface of Pluto's icy moon, according to a modeling study published in Nature Communications. The findings offer insights ...
Phys.org / Mapping the seafloor: How deep can we go?
Australia's ocean territory is vast and covers an area more than 1.5 times the nation's landmass. Within these waters is a diversity of resources, marine species and habitats. And they're deep. Excluding Antarctic waters, ...
Medical Xpress / Leading ADHD medications found to be equally effective in children, with one key difference
Dextroamphetamine and methylphenidate have been found to be equally effective in the treatment of ADHD in children, but greater weight loss was observed in children taking dextroamphetamine, according to an Australian study ...

Phys.org / Human noise pushes Alaska predators toward night foraging, altering salmon nutrient pathways
The age-old question asks, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" While philosophers and scientists alike have pondered this question for centuries, the more relevant question ...
Phys.org / How tides and river water combine to amplify floods
Ocean tides push upstream along coastal rivers, in some cases reaching hundreds of kilometers (hundreds of miles) inland. These inland stretches are known as tidal rivers, and they're the scene of complex interactions between ...
Phys.org / New cell imaging method shines a light on blind spots
Cells are crowded, dynamic places where thousands of molecules interact in tight quarters. Until now, scientists lacked a reliable way to see many of these molecular interactions as they happen. Researchers at the University ...
