Phys.org / Tropical insects may be running out of room as temperatures rise
New research from Costa Rica's Área de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG) suggests that tropical insects may be vulnerable to rising temperatures. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, examined ...
Phys.org / Updating Darwin: Biologists are returning to an older theory to explain anomalies in evolution
Evolution is a fact of life. So much so that even the theory of evolution is evolving. Lately, a centuries-old discredited idea has been making a strong comeback. It helps us explain scientific observations that, according ...
Tech Xplore / Spray-on coating traps particles more tightly and nearly doubles air filter lifespan
Breathing clean air is essential for human health, making air filters indispensable in homes, hospitals, workplaces and industrial settings. However, despite decades of advances in filter materials and design, a major challenge ...
Phys.org / Helical nanoparticles trigger cancer alarms and deliver gene therapy
Cancer cells survive by hiding from the immune system's surveillance. A KAIST research team has developed a new anticancer platform that makes cancer cells send out their own danger signals—prompting immune cells to attack—while ...
Phys.org / How fishing may be changing one fish species at the molecular level
The pearly razorfish (Xyrichtys novacula) is a small marine animal that lives in sandy coastal waters and feeds on creatures like shrimp. Known locally in Spain's Balearic Islands as raors, it is a popular dish in many homes ...
Phys.org / ESCAPADE's cameras capture Earth and moon
In November 2025, NASA's Mars-bound ESCAPADE (Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers) spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral with special cargo on board: two camera systems designed and built by faculty and ...
Phys.org / A distant primordial object may be a newborn 'Little Red Dot'
The infrared-sensitive James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has conducted multiple surveys of the very distant universe, digging into what was happening in the first billion years after the Big Bang. As part of these deep surveys, ...
Medical Xpress / Single patch merges multiple physiological signals for simpler health monitoring
Wearable health monitors have grown increasingly capable, but most are still limited by the fact that tracking different types of body signals requires separate sensors, each with its own circuitry and patch of skin. That ...
Phys.org / Warm Agulhas Current fuels Western Cape's worst flood‑producing storms
For communities across the Western Cape, cut-off low weather systems are a familiar threat. They can dump torrents of rain in a matter of hours, flooding roads, damaging homes and infrastructure, and, in the worst cases, ...
Phys.org / US residents near small rivers face disproportionately high future flood risks
An international team, including Kumamoto University and its partner institutions, has found severe flood risks and high climate-adaptation costs for U.S. small rivers.
Medical Xpress / Widening ethnic and socioeconomic inequalities in stroke identified in 30-year research
The prevalence of stroke risk factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes are higher and increasing faster among black African and Caribbean groups, compared to people from white backgrounds. People from Black African ...
Phys.org / Researchers find factors that cause respiratory impacts after flooding
Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Florida State University's Resilient Infrastructure and Disaster Response Center have identified how hurricane flooding can affect health long after a storm. In research ...
