Phys.org / New hurricane graphic helps people identify watch areas, doesn't change risk perception
Hurricane warnings are only effective if people understand them. A new study by Florida State University faculty members in the School of Communication in the College of Communication and Information and the Department of ...
Phys.org / Quantum Latin squares cannot solve Euler's 36 officers problem without entanglement
Latin squares are arrangements of symbols in a grid in which every symbol appears exactly once in each row and column. These symbol arrangements, which were first studied more than three centuries ago, are now widely used ...
Phys.org / Despite appearing to recover, sunflowers retain drought damage
Sunflowers are unable to fully recover from drought, new research has found, contradicting previous findings on the plant's ability to reverse drought-induced failure of water-transporting tissues and revealing new insights ...
Phys.org / Three supermassive black holes discovered in a single galaxy for the first time
An international team of astronomers led by the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics has identified three actively accreting supermassive black holes in the galaxy J0148-4214. Matter is falling into the black ...
Phys.org / A 236-million-year-old fossil challenges the story of mammalian live birth
Some cynodonts may have been giving birth to live young much sooner in evolutionary history than previously assumed. A new Frontiers in Mammal Science study has offered the first compelling evidence that cynodonts may have ...
Phys.org / From Google to ChatGPT, physics students increasingly seek answers through conversational AI
Students around the world are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT to find answers to questions about physics, according to a new study led by researchers at Bar-Ilan University.
Medical Xpress / Wearable smart patch could automatically deliver aid during a fentanyl overdose
A patch smaller than a penny could one day save the lives of people experiencing a fentanyl overdose—even when no one else is there to help. Researchers in Virginia Tech's Department of Biological Systems Engineering have ...
Phys.org / Engineered E. coli convert kimchi radish waste into biodegradable bioplastic
Every year, thousands of tons of radish by-products generated during kimchi production are discarded despite containing valuable carbon and nutrient resources. Researchers at the World Institute of Kimchi (WiKim) have developed ...
Phys.org / AI exposes devastating impact of bomb fishing on coral reefs
Illegal bomb fishing is causing extensive damage to some of the world's most biodiverse coral reefs, according to a new pilot study involving Lancaster Environment Centre coral reef researcher Dr. Tim Lamont.
Medical Xpress / Immunotherapy found effective against a subtype of difficult-to-treat ovarian cancer
A research group has revealed through studies in humans and mice that a subset of clear cell ovarian cancers, which have been considered difficult to treat with anticancer drugs and immunotherapy, responds to immunotherapy.
Phys.org / Mysterious Cygnus Bubble may trace back to microquasar, astronomers suggest
Astronomers have proposed a new explanation for the mysterious Cygnus Bubble, a vast cloud of ultra-high-energy gamma rays stretching thousands of light-years across the sky. While the bubble has generally been linked to ...
Tech Xplore / By combining three electrical signals, researchers catch faults earlier
A new diagnostic method could allow electricity substations to detect hidden insulation faults in relay-protection circuits earlier than conventional testing, according to research in the International Journal of Energy Technology ...
