Medical Xpress / African scientists push for homegrown pharma innovation
Africa's health future hinges on its ability to finance and commercialize its own medical innovations, rather than rely on increasingly uncertain international funding, African science leaders have warned. In a commentary ...
Phys.org / AI enables a who's who of brown bears in Alaska
A team of scientists from EPFL and Alaska Pacific University has developed an AI program that can recognize individual bears in the wild, despite the substantial changes that occur in their appearance over the summer season. ...
Phys.org / NASA begins a practice countdown for its first moonshot with astronauts in more than 50 years
NASA began a two-day practice countdown Saturday leading up to the fueling of its new moon rocket, a crucial test that will determine when four astronauts blast off on a lunar flyby.
Phys.org / New data tool boosts preparedness for potentially deadly flooding
When extreme weather strikes, the preparations of emergency planners can have life-or-death consequences. In July 2025, central Texas flooded with disastrous consequences, killing more than 130 people.
Phys.org / How AI and new sensing tools are reshaping collective animal behavior research
A perspective in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface argues that advances in AI, sensing technologies and modeling are transforming the study of collective animal behavior, with implications reaching far beyond biology, ...
Phys.org / The first headbutting paravian: Bird-like dinosaur likely used thick skull to win over mates
Whether it's digging up weathered bones from a paleontological site or reexamining forgotten trays in museum and university collections, the study of dinosaurs still throws up something new.
Phys.org / 2D discrete time crystals realized on a quantum computer for the first time
Physical systems become inherently more complicated and difficult to produce in a lab as the number of dimensions they exist in increases—even more so in quantum systems. While discrete time crystals (DTCs) had been previously ...
Phys.org / AI model forecasts coral heat stress on Florida reefs up to six weeks ahead
Scientists have created an AI model that forecasts moderate heat stress—a major precursor to coral bleaching—at sites along Florida's Coral Reef up to six weeks ahead, with predictions generally accurate within one week. ...
Phys.org / How topological surfaces boost clean energy catalysts
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a key process in fuel cells and metal-air batteries, technologies expected to play a central role in a low-carbon energy future. However, ORR proceeds slowly on most materials, limiting ...
Medical Xpress / Procrastination in adulthood linked to brain development during adolescence
Procrastination, the tendency to unnecessarily delay or put off tasks even if this will have negative consequences, is a common behavior for many people. While occasionally delaying or putting off bothersome tasks is not ...
Phys.org / A crisis emerges across the US as 'forever chemicals' quietly contaminate drinking water wells
Kristen Hanneman made a small decision in 2022 that would upend life for her entire town.
Phys.org / Climate enters the overshoot era—science and policy need to react
The International Court of Justice reiterated in 2025 that the 1.5°C limit is the countries' primary agreed target under the Paris Agreement. With record-high global temperatures in recent years, the world is firmly on track ...
