Phys.org / Australia detects first case of contagious H5 bird flu
Scientists have detected the H5 strain of bird flu in Australia for the first time, the country's agriculture minister said Saturday, meaning the highly contagious variant has now spread to every continent.
Medical Xpress / Survey reveals major gaps in cardio-oncology training
An international survey has highlighted major gaps in cardio-oncology training, despite its increasing clinical importance. These results were presented at ESC Cardio-Oncology 2026, the second annual conference of the European ...
Phys.org / New JWST images of abnormally well-developed galaxy cluster open up the 'cosmic noon' frontier
A stunningly concentrated and hefty galaxy cluster, from a time in the universe's history when such massive structures aren't expected to have fully formed yet, is challenging cosmic evolution theories. Across a series of ...
Phys.org / From birds to fish, how extreme heat causes wildlife to suffer
Like humans, wildlife is increasingly vulnerable as climate change fuels longer and more intense heat waves, disrupting feeding and breeding and, in extreme cases, proving fatal.
Phys.org / Nanobubbles for algae cleanup: Q&A with researcher Wen Zhang
One of the most powerful environmental cleaning technologies in recent years is too small to see with the naked eye. Nanobubbles—tiny gaseous bubbles with diameters of around 100 nanometers—can clean up a range of harmful ...
Phys.org / AI reveals unexpected source of antibiotic candidates in prion proteins
New antibiotic candidates for drug-resistant bacteria may reside inside prions, misfolded proteins in the brain best known for rare and fatal degenerative brain diseases. Prion and prion-like proteins may hide short peptides, ...
Phys.org / Plant hormones in mammals challenge view of cytokinins as purely botanical
In biology, cytokinins were long considered regulators exclusive to the plant kingdom, where they control, among other things, growth and responses to stress. Until now, little research has been conducted into whether these ...
Phys.org / 15-atom iridium nanoclusters stay stable 20 hours, outperform commercial catalysts
An international research team from Tohoku University, Tokyo University of Science, Vanderbilt University and the University of Adelaide has discovered a novel, exceptionally simple method to precisely synthesize extremely ...
Tech Xplore / Wet coffee grounds turned into high-grade solid fuel in just 90 seconds
A research team at the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) has developed a technology that converts wet spent coffee grounds directly into high-quality biochar in just 90 seconds, with no drying or ...
Phys.org / Stressed-out soil bacteria adapt to environmental conditions
A new study from Caltech demonstrates that soil bacteria can adapt under stress, particularly when a key nutrient, phosphorus, is running low in their environment. The work is important for understanding the complex relationships ...
Phys.org / Hidden underground, fungi drive carbon storage, crop health and ecosystem stability
Fungi are key constituents of the soil microbial community, playing a major role in moving carbon and energy through the soil food web. A recent analysis carried out by Professor Matthias C. Rillig from Freie Universität ...
