Phys.org / Could a recently reported high-energy neutrino event be explained by an exploding primordial black hole?
The KM3NeT collaboration is a large research group involved in the operation of a neutrino telescope network in the deep Mediterranean Sea, with the aim of detecting high-energy neutrino events. These are rare and fleeting ...
Phys.org / Sniffer dogs can detect wildlife trafficking via shipping container air samples
Adelaide University researchers have shown that pairing sniffer dogs with a simple air-sampling device could dramatically improve the detection of illegally trafficked wildlife hidden inside shipping containers.
Phys.org / AI deep denoiser can remove clouds from satellite images
Thick cloud cover can completely obscure the surface of the Earth from satellite view, while thinner haze and shadows distort the image of rural and urban regions. As such, many remote sensing images for monitoring climate, ...
Phys.org / Charged nanoparticles linked to higher fish embryo mortality
Plastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems continues to rise, resulting in micro- and nanoparticle accumulation in the aquatic environment. A new study by an aquatic ecology group at the University of Eastern Finland ...
Medical Xpress / New medical imaging technology can aid bone removal in cochlear implant surgery
Cochlear implant surgery helps people with severe hearing loss by placing an electronic device inside the inner ear. To reach the inner ear, surgeons must first remove part of a bone behind the ear, in a procedure called ...
Phys.org / Roadmap outlines 84 biodiversity variables for Europe's monitoring system
Biodiversity is changing across the planet, yet governments still lack the robust, consistent data needed to track these changes and guide effective conservation. Now, a new study led by the University of Amsterdam (UvA), ...
Phys.org / Seabird conservation starts upstream, scientists say
New research from Monash University, in collaboration with Phillip Island Nature Parks, has found conclusive evidence that rivers are vital drivers of food and habitat for seabirds around the world. The research, published ...
Phys.org / Cleaner hulls, safer seas? How eDNA checks could spot invasive species early
Antarctic scientists have trialed a DNA "barcoding" technique that could improve biosecurity measures that help protect polar ecosystems from invasive marine species. The research, led by Australian Antarctic Program scientists, ...
Phys.org / Ultra-stable lasers that rely on crystalline mirrors could advance next-generation clocks and navigation
Lasers, devices that emit intense beams of coherent light in specific directions, are widely used in research settings and are central components of various technologies, including optical clocks (i.e., systems that can keep ...
Phys.org / Measuring chaos: Researchers quantify the quantum butterfly effect
For the first time, researchers in China have accurately quantified how chaos increases in a quantum many-body system as it evolves over time. Combining experiments and theory, a team led by Yu-Chen Li at the University of ...
Phys.org / Evidence links polyploidy and senescence in bladder cells, with implications for cancer
UConn Center on Aging researchers have published a new editorial in the journal Aging titled "Polyploidy-induced senescence: Linking development, differentiation, repair, and (possibly) cancer?" In this editorial, Dr. Iman ...
Phys.org / A hidden reason inner ear cells die—and what it means for preventing hearing loss
Proteins long known to be essential for hearing have been hiding a talent: they also act as gatekeepers that shuffle fatty molecules across cell membranes. When this newly discovered function goes haywire—due to genetic ...
