Phys.org / Timing 1080 drops to prevent predators bouncing back
While aerial 1080 drops sharply reduce numbers of rats and stoats, the predators—especially ship rats—can rebound to higher numbers within a few years. Studying 24 years of small-mammal tracking records across New Zealand's ...
Phys.org / Ancient DNA reveals 1,000 years of human-environment interactions at Crawford Lake
An international team of scientists has recreated a 1,000-year timeline documenting ecological changes and human impact on the area surrounding Crawford Lake, the famed location of the proposed Anthropocene.
Medical Xpress / Brain's rhythm signals may help memory circuits communicate
A new study by researchers at the University of California, Irvine, suggests that slow electrical rhythms traveling along individual nerve fibers may do more than reflect brain activity: They may help coordinate communication ...
Phys.org / How two satellites are studying hurricanes during El Niño
In November 2025, NASA and its European partners launched the Sentinel-6B satellite to improve hurricane forecasts, help protect infrastructure and benefit commercial industries, including shipping. The satellite is now flying ...
Phys.org / Physics-aware benchmark reveals why similar materials AI models can predict thermal conductivity differently
Material properties such as sound insulation, resistance to extreme heat and thermal expansion originate from how the zillions of microscopic building blocks (nuclei and electrons) interact at equilibrium and respond to perturbations. ...
Tech Xplore / Audio tones can help automated vehicles communicate with pedestrians
For a pedestrian, the decision to cross a busy road often involves a distinct moment of human connection—an exchange of subtle cues with drivers, such as eye contact or a hand wave, to judge whether it is safe to proceed.
Tech Xplore / How are data centers impacting health?
Data centers have become a contentious issue across the country.
Phys.org / Bulimba Creek tops Brisbane waterways for hazardous microplastics, risk analysis finds
A QUT investigation of the composition of microplastic types in three Brisbane creeks found that Bulimba Creek had a high load of hazardous microplastics. The work is published in the journal Marine Pollution Bulletin.
Tech Xplore / New tool identifies raw materials used in buildings
Circular-economy thinking is becoming increasingly important in the construction sector. It helps reduce raw material consumption and emissions and can provide a well-thought-out reuse and recycling scheme to cut costs.
Phys.org / Petrochemical industry emissions could climb 50% by 2050, global mapping suggests
Carbon emissions from the petrochemical industry could increase by 50% by 2050, according to new research from the University of Sheffield. The study, published in Nature Sustainability, provides the most detailed data to ...
Medical Xpress / Biodegradable drug-delivery nanoparticles curb brain plaque proteins and improve memory in Alzheimer's mice
A family of nanoparticles—tiny, biodegradable molecules commonly used to deliver drugs to patients—shows promise in treating Alzheimer's disease without additional medication, according to new research from a University of ...
Medical Xpress / Blood protein analysis could help diagnose rare diseases missed by genome sequencing
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London, the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and Genomics England have shown that measuring proteins in the blood can provide important additional clues about the effects ...
