Phys.org / A bright moon may dim the Eta Aquarid meteor shower made up of Halley's comet debris
The Eta Aquarid meteor shower soon will light the sky with debris from Halley's comet. But a bright moon will spoil the fun this year, making the display harder to glimpse.
Phys.org / Physicists reveal universal speed limit on quantum information scrambling
Theoretical physicists in the US have discovered a "speed limit" on the time taken for quantum information to spread through larger systems. Publishing their results in Physical Review Letters, Amit Vikram and colleagues ...
Science X / How camels 'beat the heat' at the cellular level
Living organisms must constantly adjust to their environment to survive. One of the most fundamental challenges is temperature. Even small shifts in heat or cold can disrupt the delicate balance inside cells, affecting how ...
Phys.org / Why keeping collaborative remote work environment options open is key for business innovation
At a time when remote work is increasingly up for debate among companies, it remains an often underestimated lever for fostering open innovation. This article examines how initiatives designed to encourage collaborative work ...
Medical Xpress / Moderate UV light is best when it comes to boosting the vitamin D content of edible mushrooms, study finds
Researchers at McGill University have discovered that moderate ultraviolet (UV) light exposure is best when the technique is used to enhance vitamin D₂ in edible mushrooms. Excessive exposure leads to nutrient degradation ...
Science X / Snowball Earth may hide a far stranger climate cycle than anyone expected
During the Sturtian glacial period during the Neoproterozoic Era, Earth underwent periods of global glaciation, which have been described as either "Snowball" and "Slushball" Earth scenarios. In Snowball Earth models, the ...
