Phys.org / Artemis II astronauts reunite with their moonship 3 months after record-breaking flight
The Artemis II astronauts reunited with their capsule Wednesday three months after flying around the moon and traveling deeper into space than anyone in history.
Phys.org / New probe could help trace Alzheimer's-linked lipids one cell at a time
Cells sitting side by side in the same tissues are not identical. Each cell carries its own subtly different chemical signature—a hidden individuality that can reveal how diseases take root and spread. Now, researchers from ...
Phys.org / Tiny Jurassic bird reveals a key step in bird evolution
The transition from a lumbering, heavy dinosaur body to the flight-adapted bird body plan is one of many fascinating episodes in evolutionary history. Working out how this massive transformation took place relies heavily ...
Phys.org / This rare British butterfly looks familiar, but its genome tells a very different story
The British swallowtail butterfly (Papilio machaon britannicus) is the U.K.'s only native swallowtail and its largest native butterfly. It's instantly recognizable by its striking light yellow-and-black wings, with twin tail-like ...
Medical Xpress / Exploring honey's anti-aging properties in human skin cells
Ongoing research reveals that multifloral honey is a promising candidate for protecting human skin cells from premature aging and cell damage caused by UV radiation, with the potential for future clinical and cosmetic applications.
Phys.org / Why some glasses break suddenly while others deform smoothly
If a liquid is cooled slowly to its freezing point, it becomes a crystal in which the constituent particles are arranged in an ordered pattern. In contrast, when the liquid is cooled very quickly, the particles are unable ...
Tech Xplore / Light-powered chip harvests energy, computes and senses chemicals in one stack
Most contemporary portable electronics, including laptops, smartphones and smart watches, are powered by batteries that need to be recharged daily or every few days. Over the past decade, however, some engineers have been ...
Dialog / Catching hydrogen in the act: Tracking the absorption process over time
If you're looking for hydrogen on the elemental chart, it won't take you long to find it. It is right there at the beginning, the lightest possible material. One electron, one proton—that's it. Simple, minimalistic, the Marie ...
Phys.org / Slowing Atlantic current could fuel stronger California atmospheric rivers by century's end
A slowing Atlantic Ocean current is projected to intensify powerful storms in California while reducing snowfall over Greenland, according to a recent University of California, Riverside study. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning ...
Phys.org / New deep-sea measurements show how the ocean floor forms
The first-known direct observations of a seafloor spreading event at a mid-ocean ridge in the Indian Ocean are presented in Nature. The observations offer insight into how new oceanic crust is created.
Phys.org / Primordial mini-moons may explain meteorite composition
A new Southwest Research Institute-led study proposes a solution to a longstanding puzzle in planetary science: What caused the concentration, assembly, and preservation of millimeter-sized, spherical mineral grains within ...
Medical Xpress / Most obesity drugs do not improve quality of life or heart health, analysis indicates
Despite substantial weight loss, most obesity drugs such as Wegovy and Mounjaro do not meaningfully improve quality of life, and few show cardiovascular benefits at one year, according to an analysis of the latest evidence ...
