Phys.org / The ice on Greenland is acting strangely: Scientists believe they finally know why
Deep inside the Greenland ice sheet are giant swirling plume-like structures. These have puzzled scientists for over a decade, but UiB researchers now believe they have cracked the mystery by applying the same mathematics ...
Tech Xplore / Safer batteries for storing energy at massive scale: A new electrolyte with proton-hopping conductivity
Among the enduring challenges of storing energy—for wind or solar farms, or backup storage for the energy grid or data centers—is batteries that can hold large amounts of electricity for a long time. In addition to having ...
Phys.org / Why Triceratops has such a big nose: The first comprehensive hypothesis on soft tissue in the dinosaur
Triceratops and similar horned dinosaurs had unusually large nasal cavities compared to most animals. Researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, used CT scans of fossilized Triceratops skulls and compared ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover recent tectonic activity on the moon
Scientists have produced the first global map and analysis of small mare ridges (SMRs) on the moon, a characteristic geological feature of tectonic activity. Published in The Planetary Science Journal Dec. 24, 2025, the analysis ...
Phys.org / How one molecule's 'voice' was captured: Infrared light meets scanning tunneling microscopy
When things vibrate, they make sounds. Molecules do too, but at frequencies far beyond human hearing. Chemical bonds stretch, bend, and twist at characteristic rates that fall in the infrared region of the electromagnetic ...
Medical Xpress / Therapeutic outcomes for autistic adults: Exploring factors that shape anxiety and depression trajectories
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by differences in social interactions and in the understanding of others' thoughts or feelings, restricted interests and repetitive behaviors. ASD can ...
Phys.org / Simulations map how single-crystal battery materials could boost cycle life
The performance of rechargeable batteries is governed by processes deep within their components. A fundamental understanding of electrochemistry, structure–property–performance relationships and the effects of processing ...
Phys.org / Rising simultaneous wildfire risk compromises international firefighting efforts
The most high-risk conditions for fires are increasingly happening across countries at the same time, making resulting wildfires even more challenging to tackle, new research reveals.
Phys.org / NASA conducts second rocket fueling test that will decide when Artemis astronauts head to the moon
NASA took another crack at fueling its giant moon rocket Thursday after leaks halted the initial dress rehearsal and delayed the first lunar trip by astronauts in more than half a century.
Medical Xpress / Weight-loss wonder pills prompt scrutiny of their key ingredient
Blockbuster weight-loss drugs are transforming the way we treat obesity. But while costly injectable versions remain out of reach for many, newly approved tablet forms are expected to significantly boost access and demand. ...
Medical Xpress / Our brains may learn more from rare events than from repetition
More than a century ago, Pavlov trained his dog to associate the sound of a bell with food. Ever since, scientists have assumed the dog learned this through repetition. The more times the dog heard the bell and then got fed, ...
Phys.org / Does the motion of DNA influence its activity?
How does our DNA store the massive amount of information needed to build a human being? And what happens when it's stored incorrectly? Jesse Dixon, MD, Ph.D., has spent years studying the way this genome is folded in 3D space—knowing ...
