Phys.org / Stress gives bees sharper vision and faster reactions, researchers discover
Bumblebees see the world differently under stress, processing visual information more sharply and making quicker decisions, new research from Newcastle University reveals.
Medical Xpress / Study in Drosophila reveals how the immune system adjusts development in response to excess sugar
Diets rich in sugars and fats are associated with metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance, chronic inflammation and diabetes. During development, these imbalances can have a particularly significant impact, as the ...
Phys.org / What shapes young lives most? Everyday wins, relationships and school outrank crises
Which major life events matter to young people? A study by the University of Zurich (UZH) shows that adolescents and young adults primarily cite positive, everyday developmental steps as formative events, for example, school ...
Phys.org / Five phases of localization physics observed in a single quantum system
Physicists in China have observed five phases in localization physics within a single quantum system. Using an advanced photonic platform, the team, led by Yucheng Wang and Jingyun Fan at the Southern University of Science ...
Phys.org / Quantum sensor overcomes major obstacle in search for dark matter and gravitational waves
A prototype quantum sensor developed by researchers at Imperial has demonstrated for the first time that a key principle behind next-generation quantum detectors can work under realistic conditions.
Tech Xplore / Drones learn to squeeze through narrow gaps using onboard AI control
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are now widely used for various purposes, ranging from filmmaking and aerial photography to industrial inspection, precision farming and reaching obstructed areas ...
Phys.org / Modular nanorobot self-assembles, targets cancer cells and cuts viability
A team at the University of Basel, Switzerland, has developed a versatile nanorobot with propulsion and payload modules. The two reusable modules autonomously self-assemble and could be used in medicine or industry.
Phys.org / Are asteroid-mass black holes hiding in the cosmic gamma-ray glow?
There are multiple ways to form black holes. The one most commonly taught in high school physics classes is that they are created from the collapse of a dying star. But there is another class of black holes, known as primordial ...
Medical Xpress / Single amino acid change may help viruses jump from bat to human
Most pandemics start when a pathogen spreads from animals to humans. It's a leading explanation for the COVID-19 pandemic: The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, is a cousin of coronaviruses that live in bats.
Phys.org / Why just sharing a stick while walking can significantly improve balance
Could the secret to preventing dangerous falls be surprisingly simple? For older adults, these unexpected tumbles are a leading cause of injury, affecting roughly 1 in 4 people 65 and older each year. What if the key isn't ...
Phys.org / Astronomers want to build a swarm of telescopes to find life
Current plans for flagship telescopes in the 2040s are focused on answering a simple question: Are we alone? Our best telescopes to date, such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), have given us only tantalizing glimpses ...
Phys.org / EU risks a crisis if it fails to halt pollinator loss, researchers warn
A new white paper from eight major EU-funded pollinator projects warns that the resilience of Europe's vital societal functions and food security are at stake if the EU fails to halt and reverse wild pollinator declines and ...
