Phys.org / These glaciers are becoming critical climate havens as America's iconic mountain glaciers and their water diminish
If you have ever hiked in the high peaks of Colorado, the Wasatch Range in Utah or the Tetons in Wyoming, you've almost certainly seen a rock glacier, perhaps without even knowing it.
Medical Xpress / Hybrid work improves the work experience—particularly for women
The transition to hybrid work has improved the psychosocial work environment among white-collar employees, according to new research from Umeå University. Positive effects include more accessible leadership, greater autonomy ...
Phys.org / The founding father of American literature, Charles Brockden Brown saw his nation's dark side
Murder, suicide, spontaneous combustion, sleepwalking, ventriloquism: These are some of the sensational events in the novels of Charles Brockden Brown (1771–1810). As the United States' first professional author, Brown is ...
Phys.org / Crystal-design principle reveals how competing molecular forces control structure, color and phase transitions
Organic molecular crystals can respond to external stimuli such as heat, light, and mechanical force, making them attractive candidates for next-generation functional materials. However, predicting how multiple intermolecular ...
Phys.org / World Cup data reveals initiative alone doesn't improve team performance
Team members' initiative can help teams succeed, but only when it is paired with strong coordination, according to new research from Washington State University.
Phys.org / A cataclysmic collision in space provides new clues on astronomy's biggest stalemate
Second only to black holes, neutron stars—incredibly dense star remnants—are the densest objects in the universe. When neutron stars collide, they create ripples in the fabric of space and time that we can detect on Earth.
Medical Xpress / Preserved testicular tissue produces early germ cells after childhood cancer treatment
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have demonstrated that it is possible to create early germ cells from preserved testicular tissue of young boys facing cancer therapy. The study, published in the journal Human Reproduction ...
Medical Xpress / COVID-19 vaccine boosters may help protect against future animal coronaviruses, research suggests
COVID-19 vaccine boosters not only protect against SARS-CoV-2—the virus behind the most recent pandemic—but may also help protect against some future coronaviruses that risk spreading from animals to humans, Cambridge researchers ...
Phys.org / El Niño is shaping up for a hot summer—could recycled water be part of the solution?
With El Niño officially declared for summer 2026, Dr. Laura Fernandez and researchers at Macquarie University are testing the use of recycled water to irrigate trees, helping cool Western Sydney.
Medical Xpress / Innovative soft robotic heart offers new way to study disease and test life-saving devices
Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a fully synthetic soft robotic heart that reproduces the complex movements and internal structures of the human heart, opening the door to better treatments, safer medical devices ...
Phys.org / Polymer network reconfigures in sequence, helping elastomers stay tough under strain
Shock-absorbing sneaker soles are likely made of polyurethane, a highly elastic and tough polymer. The ability of these elastomers to absorb impact without breaking is extremely important for practical applications. While ...
Phys.org / Awe and the 'overview effect' may shape how students learn geography
University of Phoenix College of General Studies announced the publication of a new article in The Geography Teacher, authored by Jacquelyn Kelly, Ph.D., associate dean, College of General Studies; Dianna Gielstra, Ph.D., ...
