Phys.org / Global warming is changing the hatching of bees and wasps
A large-scale experiment shows that warmth brings bees and wasps out of hibernation earlier—leaving some of them with poorer starting conditions. This is particularly true for species in cooler regions that emerge during ...
Phys.org / Fluorescent technique reveals hidden scale of microfiber pollution from our clothes
Pollution released from our textiles is smaller and more irregular in shape than previously thought, according to new research led by The University of Manchester. In a study published in Scientific Reports, Manchester researchers—in ...
Phys.org / Quantum simulations reveal spin transport in 1D materials
Researchers from the Department of Energy's Quantum Science Center (QSC) headquartered at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have achieved a significant milestone by demonstrating the first digital quantum simulations of ...
Phys.org / UN office's recovery plan advances flood relief efforts in Pakistan
On the evening of July 6, 2025, a glacier lake outburst flood (GLOF) surged through the village of Hassanabad in Pakistan's Hunza Valley, destroying houses and irrigation systems. Triggered by the rapid melting of the Shisper ...
Phys.org / One of the world's rarest mice is adapting to climate change
A new study on climate adaptation in the Pacific pocket mouse—North America's most endangered mouse has been published in Science Advances. The research highlights a major challenge for endangered species, as many lack the ...
Phys.org / Out of sight, but not out of trouble: Groundwater contamination in NZ reveals a legacy of human pressure
The latest official stocktake of the state of New Zealand's freshwater carries many of the headline messages we have come to expect.
Tech Xplore / What could your voice give away?
With AI, the voice has acquired a new significance. Behind the words lies data that can be used both to diagnose a health problem and to steal someone's identity. Speaking to machines is no longer the stuff of science fiction. ...
Phys.org / Scientists turn AI-generated proteins into smart molecular sensors
An international team led by researchers at QUT has used artificial intelligence to create tiny "smart" proteins that switch on only when they detect a chosen target. Published in Nature Biotechnology, the research opens ...
Medical Xpress / Popular AI chatbots are confidently dispensing medical misinformation, analysis shows
A substantial amount of medical information provided by five popular chatbots is inaccurate and incomplete, with half (50%) of the responses problematic: 30% were somewhat, and 20% were highly problematic. These are the results ...
Medical Xpress / Weight loss leads to notable muscle loss, study finds
A new UNC School of Medicine study of incretin-based medications, including newer medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide that are widely prescribed for type 2 diabetes and obesity, finds they are associated with ...
Phys.org / Date palm waste yields bio-oil, unlocking energy use for 150 million trees
Researchers have developed a method to extract bio-oil from the surface fiber waste of date palm trees, an abundant, low-cost, and sustainable biomass resource generated by an estimated 150 million date palm trees worldwide. ...
Phys.org / Back-to-basics approach can match or outperform AI in language analysis
A new study led by Dr. Andrea Nini at The University of Manchester has found that a grammar-based approach to language analysis can match or outperform advanced AI systems in identifying who wrote a text. The method, called ...
