Phys.org / Digital media breaks can improve well-being
What effect does it have on our well-being when we put our smartphones aside for a while or otherwise disconnect from digital media? Alicia Gilbert, a research associate at the Department of Communication at Johannes Gutenberg ...
Medical Xpress / Physical therapy research highlights the toll of arthritis on the workforce, as well as the path forward
According to new research from the University of Delaware, nearly 40% of American adults ages 18 to 64 with arthritis—almost 10 million people—say the medical condition is limiting their ability to work.
Phys.org / A century's worth of data could help predict future solar cycle activity
Research conducted by an international team of astronomers from Southwest Research Institute, Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences in India and the Max Planck Institute in Germany could help predict upcoming ...
Medical Xpress / Multiple unexpected chemical contaminants exist in human milk, though at low concentrations
An interdisciplinary team including researchers at McGill University has found a range of unexpected chemical contaminants in human milk samples from Canada and South Africa. The chemicals include traces of pesticides, antimicrobials ...
Tech Xplore / Findings on phonetic reduction in speech could help make AI voices more natural-sounding
A speech study by a research team from The University of Texas at El Paso has identified an underappreciated aspect of speech in English and Spanish speakers that could lead to improvements in artificial intelligence (AI) ...
Phys.org / A twitch in time? Quantum collapse models hint at tiny time fluctuations
Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a superposition of states—being in multiple places and configurations all at once, defined mathematically ...
Phys.org / Previously unknown chemical pathway for air pollution particle formation uncovered
An atmospheric scientist at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, has helped uncover a previously unknown chemical pathway that plays a major role in the formation of air ...
Tech Xplore / Thermomagnetic generator harvests ocean temperature differences to power maritime sensors
The key to future technologies can sometimes be found in the past. What Ravi Kishore is working to perfect, for example, has its origins in the 19th century imaginations of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison.
Phys.org / South Pole Telescope detects energetic stellar flares near center of galaxy
Researchers from the South Pole Telescope project team looked deep into the center of the Milky Way, discovering powerful, surprising bursts of light from two accreting white dwarf systems.
Phys.org / Tracer reveals how environmental DNA moves through lakes and rivers
Forensics experts gather DNA to understand who was present at a crime scene. But what if the crime occurred in the middle of a lake, where DNA could be carried far and wide by wind and waves? That's the challenge faced by ...
Phys.org / Seawater microbes offer new, non-invasive way to detect coral disease
Researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), in collaboration with the University of the Virgin Islands have discovered that microorganisms in seawater surrounding corals provide a powerful indicator of ...
Phys.org / SPHEREx imaging reveals increased sublimation activity on 3I/ATLAS
The interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, was first discovered in July 2025, and made its closest approach to the sun (perihelion) in late October. New observations of 3I/ATLAS were taken in December from the SPHEREx observatory—a ...
