Phys.org / Digital tools reveal hidden extinctions as AI reshapes global conservation
In a seismic shift since Kew's inaugural State of the World report 10 years ago, the sixth State of the World's Plants and Fungi report, published June 16, 2026, brings together expertise from more than 400 scientists across ...
Phys.org / Medieval Moroccan bathhouse steps reveal rare game board
Archaeologists have discovered a game board carved into the steps of a medieval bathhouse in the Moroccan town of Walīla (the Roman city of Volubilis). The find is a rare example of a medieval game board that can be securely ...
Phys.org / Abstract algebra unlocks distinguishable states for quantum systems
Researchers around the world are racing to develop new quantum-based systems for sensing, communication, computing and control that have the promise of outperforming traditional systems. Creating stable, measurable, distinguishable ...
Tech Xplore / Liquid cooling technology for semiconductor chips is 10 times more efficient than previous record
AI data centers are power-hungry. Not only do artificial intelligence computations consume enormous amounts of electricity, but a significant amount of energy is also required to cool the semiconductor chips that heat up ...
Phys.org / New imaging technique measures single scramblase proteins, revealing lipid transport rates
A new single-protein analysis technique gives researchers an unprecedented ability to study proteins called scramblases, which have critical roles in biology. The development of the new technique, in a study led by investigators ...
Medical Xpress / Psilocybin to target persistent concussion symptoms in Australia's first clinical trial
Monash University researchers have launched Australia's first clinical trial to test whether the psychedelic drug psilocybin is an effective treatment for persistent post-concussion symptoms.
Phys.org / Bacteria reveal 'glue' protein that fastens antibiotic-resistant outer membrane to cell wall
Researchers at the University of Notre Dame and collaborators have discovered a key process in how the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria attaches to the cell wall, advancing the understanding of how these bacteria ...
Phys.org / Thermochemical mantle plume identified as the likely origin of Earth's largest oceanic plateau
The Ontong Java Plateau in the western Pacific Ocean is the largest oceanic plateau on Earth, and its formation mechanism has not been well understood.
Phys.org / Deep-sea crust uncovers steady plutonium rain from ancient kilonova debris
Debris is still raining down on Earth more than 100 million years after the giant cosmic explosion that created it. A study published this week in Nature Astronomy by an international team reached this conclusion using measurements ...
Phys.org / Beyond frozen snapshots, protein 'breathing' comes into view with combined imaging methods
Advances in structural biology have allowed scientists to determine molecular structures with atomic-level detail, sometimes yielding static snapshots that do not reflect the dynamism of proteins. However, these motions are ...
Phys.org / A star's death throes involve a lot of kicking
When stars like our sun age, they puff up into red giants. Their bubbling outer mass gradually escapes into space, and their remaining cores contract into white dwarfs. Since most stars end their lives this way, the universe ...
Medical Xpress / Clinician–scientists identify brain network linked to deadliest childhood brain cancer
A human brain network associated with survival in children with diffuse midline glioma (DMG), the deadliest childhood brain cancer, has been identified by UCL clinician-scientists, raising the possibility of entirely new ...
