Phys.org / Dark stars could help solve three pressing puzzles of the high-redshift universe
A recent study provides answers to three seemingly disparate yet pressing cosmic dawn puzzles. Specifically, the authors show how dark stars could help explain the unexpected discovery of "blue monster" galaxies, the numerous ...
Phys.org / Advanced quantum detectors are reinventing the search for dark matter
When it comes to understanding the universe, what we know is only a sliver of the whole picture.
Phys.org / Dark matter and neutrinos may interact, challenging standard model of the universe
Scientists are a step closer to solving one of the universe's biggest mysteries as new research finds evidence that two of its least understood components may be interacting, offering a rare window into the darkest recesses ...
Phys.org / Recommendations for reintroducing charophytes for better water quality and biodiversity in lakes
Charophytes are extremely beneficial to lakes, improving water quality and biodiversity. However, their abundance was found to decline in many lakes without clear signs of eutrophication during recent decades.
Phys.org / Rare 'firework morphology' of supernova remnant Pa 30 may be due to white dwarf wind
In 1181 AD, a bright "guest star" was observed to linger in the sky for around six months. Nearly 850 years later, the likely remnants of this event were rediscovered and tentatively linked to the 1181 supernova and dubbed ...
Phys.org / Scientists call for 'systems reset' to redefine sustainable development
A new international study calls for a fundamental reset in how humanity understands and pursues sustainable development. The article is published in the journal Communications Sustainability.
Phys.org / FAST J0139+4328 is a low-surface-brightness galaxy, deep imaging reveals
Astronomers from Serbia and Russia have conducted deep optical observations of a cloud of neutral atomic hydrogen, designated FAST J0139+4328. Results of the observational campaign, published December 31 on the arXiv preprint ...
Tech Xplore / Ionogel innovation could power safe, enduring energy storage
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed an innovative energy storage system design that introduces a safer, more efficient method for electrical charge transfer.
Medical Xpress / Yoga accelerates opioid withdrawal recovery when combined with standard care, study finds
Opioid addiction, or opioid use disorder (OUD), is a major global health issue, and recovery from OUD is marked with high relapse rates. During withdrawal, patients experience severe symptoms, which are partly due to dysregulation ...
Phys.org / Organic crystals self-heal at cryogenic temperatures via zipping action
At temperatures where most molecular movement ceases, certain organic crystals begin their self-healing journey.
Medical Xpress / New insight into the immune signals driving inflammation in multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease characterized by nerve damage and consequent impairments in vision, movement, balance and mental function. In MS, the immune system mistakenly starts attacking myelin, ...
Phys.org / Orange pigments in birds and human redheads prevent cellular damage, study shows
A pigment that makes feathers and hair orange helps prevent cellular damage by removing excess cysteine from cells. Pheomelanin is an orange-to-red pigment that is built with the amino acid cysteine and found in human red ...
