Phys.org / Arctic sea ice melt slowdown since 2012 linked to atmospheric pattern shift
A research team led by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) scholars has discovered a significant slowdown in Arctic sea ice melting since 2012, with a decrease rate of 11.3% per decade to an insignificant ...
Phys.org / Hunting pressure drives female turkeys to produce more daughters, study suggests
Female turkeys could be running the roost for years to come. New research from the University of Georgia published in the Journal of Avian Biology found that the gender of turkey offspring may depend on whether the birds ...
Phys.org / A molecular switch for green hydrogen: Catalyst changes function based on how it's assembled
Hydrogen production through water electrolysis is a cornerstone of the clean energy transition, but it relies on efficient and stable catalysts that work under acidic conditions—currently dominated by precious metals like ...
Phys.org / Drug-resistant Candida auris harnesses CO₂ to survive on skin, research reveals
A new study involving the Medical University of Vienna shows how the multi-resistant fungus Candida auris utilizes carbon dioxide (CO₂) to survive on the skin and become resistant to antifungal therapies. The research team ...
Phys.org / Should we smoke salmon using traditional techniques, or should we simply add the flavor?
If you think something is off with added smoke flavoring in salmon, you're not alone. Many consumers are skeptical of salmon that hasn't been smoked in the traditional way.
Medical Xpress / New ALS drug stabilizes decline with a trend toward improved strength and mobility for some
Historically, people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) experience a relentless decline in neurological function that eventually robs them of the ability to move, speak, eat or breathe. Now, researchers from Washington ...
Phys.org / Scalable method enables ultrahigh-resolution quantum dot displays without damaging performance
Over the past decade, colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as promising materials for next-generation displays due to their tunable emission, high brightness, and compatibility with low-cost solution processing. However, ...
Tech Xplore / Harnessing long-wavelength light for sustainable hydrogen production
A novel dye-sensitized photocatalyst developed at Science Tokyo enables the capture of long-wavelength visible light for efficient hydrogen conversion, surpassing conventional photocatalysts.
Phys.org / New species are being discovered faster than ever before, study suggests
About 300 years ago, Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus set out on a bold quest: to identify and name every living organism on Earth. Now celebrated as the father of modern taxonomy, he developed the binomial naming system ...
Phys.org / Earth's growing heat imbalance driven more by clouds than air pollution, study finds
Earth is taking in more energy than it releases back to space—a growing "energy imbalance" that is fueling global warming. A new study led by scientists at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, ...
Tech Xplore / Lowering barriers to explainable AI: Control technique for LLMs reduces resource demands by over 90%
Large language models (LLMs) such as GPT and Llama are driving exceptional innovations in AI, but research aimed at improving their explainability and reliability is constrained by massive resource requirements for examining ...
Medical Xpress / Inflammation fuels one of the most aggressive forms of lung cancer
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of the most aggressive forms of lung cancer, with a five-year survival rate of only 5%. Despite this poor prognosis, SCLC is initially highly responsive to chemotherapy. However, patients ...
