Phys.org / Shame, stigma, and culture prevent male intimate partner violence survivors from seeking help, study finds
Men are less likely than women to seek help after experiencing intimate partner violence, and new research from George Mason University found that the main barriers include viewing it as a private matter, fear of retaliation, ...
Phys.org / What it's like to discover an ancient Egyptian tomb, and the race against time to preserve it
Looking inside a newly discovered ancient tomb for the first time is both exciting and terrifying. I was fortunate to experience this recently as director of an international research team carrying out fieldwork in the Theban ...
Phys.org / Webb reveals oxygen-rich dust and water surviving near Milky Way's central black hole
Using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, an international team of astronomers has discovered that dust and water can form and survive surprisingly close to the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky ...
Phys.org / Germany's dry rivers spark battle over engineering vs. restoration
As a heat wave dries Germany's rivers, government ministers are at odds over what to do about it—re-engineer the waterways or restore them to their natural state.
Phys.org / Bumblebees can learn to associate new smells with their queen
Bumblebees are able to learn to associate new odors with their colony's queen, instead of being preprogrammed to recognize the queen's pheromones from birth, according to a new study led by researchers at Penn State. For ...
Phys.org / Controlled cracking technique prints quantum dots into tiny pixels for sharper displays
Recent technological advances have enabled the development of increasingly sophisticated, sharper displays for electronic devices. Many modern displays use light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, tiny semiconductor-based components ...
Phys.org / Tourists rush to Mount Etna as Italian volcano erupts
Spectacular images of lava flowing down the slopes of erupting Mount Etna have drawn flocks of tourists to the Italian volcano—to the worry of local guides.
Medical Xpress / Sensory overload in kids has distinct neurobiological roots
Overreactions to ordinary sensory stimuli—a scratchy shirt tag, a roaring vacuum cleaner, an unfamiliar smell—are commonly associated with autism. But in fact, an estimated 15% to 20% of children experience such reactions, ...
Phys.org / Humans have a 'highly abundant' number of stable proteins that are not all predicted by genetic code
In 1968, the American biochemist and geneticist Marshall Nirenberg and his colleagues won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their work deciphering how an organism's proteins are directly linked to its genetic ...
Tech Xplore / Replaceable covers and oil cooling could make EV batteries safer and easier to repair
The development of traction batteries for electric vehicles is becoming increasingly complex. Electrical performance, thermal behavior and mechanical safety interact closely and require integrated solutions. At the same time, ...
Phys.org / Galactic spins carry fingerprints of the primordial universe
The origin of spin in spiral and elliptical galaxies has posed a long-standing puzzle for astronomers. One idea, known as tidal torque theory, proposes that galaxies' spins are an imprinted record of the early universe, imparted ...
Tech Xplore / Today's downloads predict tomorrow's scientific impact—up to five years out
The trail of likes, shares and downloads we leave across the internet could help predict successful innovations years in advance, Cornell researchers showed by curating two datasets that allowed them to compare early engagement ...
