Researchers have described a new species of shrimpgoby from the coastal waters off Banyuwangi, East Java, and given it a name that pays tribute to both its fiery coloration and its birthplace.
Phys.org / A distant primordial object may be a newborn 'Little Red Dot'
The infrared-sensitive James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has conducted multiple surveys of the very distant universe, digging into what was happening in the first billion years after the Big Bang. As part of these deep surveys, ...
Tech Xplore / Recycling fossil fuel infrastructure could save trillions in societal costs
Moving away from oil and gas and toward solar, wind and hydropower: that is the energy transition. To stop global warming, we must shift our energy infrastructure toward renewable sources in the coming years. The large-scale ...
Phys.org / Hubble shows star formation in Andromeda galaxy is winding down
A new study using data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope finds that star formation in the nearby Andromeda galaxy has undergone a 500-million-year decline, with an even steeper drop in the last 40 million years. Andromeda, ...
Medical Xpress / Silver diamine fluoride treatment could halt cavities without shots, drilling or sedation
Every year, untreated tooth decay sends thousands of young U.S. children to emergency departments for dental problems doctors can't treat. Many eventually undergo surgery under general anesthesia, while others endure pain ...
Tech Xplore / Solar panels promise to help save the environment. But what happens when they die?
Solar panels have become the most iconic symbol of the clean energy transition. They cover rooftops, stretch across deserts and quietly convert sunlight into electricity without emitting carbon dioxide. But hidden behind ...
Phys.org / Small ants that evict coffee pests may gain reproductive boost while protecting crops
