Phys.org / Distant blazar OP 313 emits very high-energy gamma rays above 100 GeV
An international team of astronomers have employed one of the Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs) at the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) to observe a distant blazar known as OP 313. Results of the observational campaign, ...
Phys.org / Deep-Earth seismic anomalies may be explained by newly discovered manganese compound
Scientists know that manganese, in its various oxide forms, plays a significant role in Earth's geochemical cycles. However, the exact forms of manganese, their abundance and the mechanisms behind these cycles that occur ...
Phys.org / How a Richard Feynman formula could explain your dining habits in a new city
One of the dilemmas facing anyone in a new and unfamiliar city is where to dine out. You might consult guides, speak to locals, check reviews, and ultimately, try your luck. But if you're there for a while, at some point ...
Phys.org / AI brews a caffeine-powered safety switch for future cell therapies
For many of us, a warm cup of coffee is how we start our day. For Texas A&M Health researchers, it may also offer a new way to control engineered cells in future medicines.
Phys.org / Bumble bees show spontaneous problem-solving, challenging big-brain assumptions
In a new study, bumble bees solve a completely novel object-manipulation task. What makes this behavior especially remarkable is that the bees had never been trained. The findings challenge the long-standing assumption that ...
Medical Xpress / One wrong mouse swap exposes how social learning shapes future choices
Humans and other animals can learn new skills and behaviors from others they interact with. This process, referred to as social learning, has been widely investigated in the past, particularly in the context of responses ...
Phys.org / Stonehenge Altar Stone's epic transportation across ancient Britain detailed in new study
New research by Curtin University has revealed how one of Stonehenge's most mysterious stones was likely transported hundreds of kilometers across Britain through challenging terrain, highlighting the remarkable capabilities ...
Medical Xpress / Gap widens between expected help and municipal care delivered, complaint review shows
"There is a clear gap between what patients expect from the health care services and what they actually receive," says Alison Axisa Eriksen of the University of Agder (UiA). As part of her Ph.D. research, she has reviewed ...
Medical Xpress / New noninvasive tool may allow early detection of dangerous intestinal disease in preemies
A new noninvasive technology, called broadband optical spectroscopy (BOS), has promise for reliably detecting necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants at earlier stages, before this devastating intestinal disease ...
Phys.org / Magnetic field helps binary star systems form, new simulations indicate
New simulations show that interactions with a magnetic field can work to decrease the distance between still forming binary protostars. These results can help explain the characteristics of the binary star systems observed ...
Phys.org / Giant fan-shaped structure found under East Antarctica
An international team of researchers including our Department of Geography has discovered a vast geological structure hidden beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The findings are published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
Phys.org / Passive AI use at work increases feelings of work meaninglessness, study finds
Approximately 88% of organizations around the world implemented artificial intelligence (AI) into at least one business function by the end of 2025, the latest McKinsey Global Survey on the state of AI found. Despite promised ...
