Phys.org / Earliest evidence of indigo-dyed textiles and single-needle knitting discovered in Bronze Age Anatolia
A research team led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Çiğdem Maner from Koç University's Department of Archaeology and History of Art has uncovered remarkable textile fragments at Beycesultan Höyük that rewrite our understanding of ...
Phys.org / Webb maps the mysterious upper atmosphere of Uranus
For the first time, an international team of astronomers have mapped the vertical structure of Uranus's upper atmosphere, uncovering how temperature and charged particles vary with height across the planet. Using Webb's NIRSpec ...
Tech Xplore / South Africa is moving away from coal—how mines and power stations could be used for green energy and farming
Globally, nearly 7,000 coal mines, more than 2,400 coal-fired power plants and hundreds of coal rail networks, trucks and port terminals all make up the world's coal industry. When coal is phased out and green energy phased ...
Phys.org / A 'magic blueprint' for converting CO₂ into resources through atom-level catalyst design
A research team led by Professor Su-Il In of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST has uncovered the principle that the products and reaction pathways of carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion to fuel via solar ...
Phys.org / Widely used method underestimates forests' ability to prevent major floods, researchers argue
Researchers from the University of British Columbia argue that a widely used method to understand and predict flood risk has led scientists to miscalculate how forests can prevent major flooding. The paper, published in Ambio, ...
Phys.org / Lab-in-the-loop framework enables rapid evolution of complex multi-mutant proteins
The search space for protein engineering grows exponentially with complexity. A protein of just 100 amino acids has 20100 possible variants—more combinations than atoms in the observable universe. Traditional engineering ...
Phys.org / Largest ever radio sky survey maps the universe in unprecedented detail
An international collaboration using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) has published an exceptionally detailed radio sky map, revealing 13.7 million cosmic sources and delivering the most complete census yet of actively growing ...
Medical Xpress / Ultraprocessed foods show addictionlike patterns comparable to tobacco, researchers say
That bag of chips you swore you'd only eat a handful of. The energy drink that somehow turns into three. The late-night fast-food run—whether it involves pizza, burgers or tacos—that feels impossible to resist. A new ...
Phys.org / Scientists raise 300,000 surfclams offshore, proving open-ocean aquaculture can work
Rutgers researchers have made a discovery that could change the future of seafood farming in New Jersey. A study led by marine scientist Daphne Munroe has shown that Atlantic surfclams can be successfully farmed in the open ...
Tech Xplore / Most AI bots lack basic safety disclosures, study finds
Many people use AI chatbots to plan meals and write emails, AI-enhanced web browsers to book travel and buy tickets, and workplace AI to generate invoices and performance reports. However, a new study of the "AI agent ecosystem" ...
Phys.org / New AI framework reveals chemistry driving high-conductivity lithium-ion electrolytes
A new artificial intelligence framework developed at Cornell can accurately predict the performance of battery electrolytes while revealing the chemical principles that govern them, providing engineers with a new tool for ...
Phys.org / 'Boomerang' earthquake simulations suggest ricocheting ruptures may be more common than previously thought
An earthquake typically sets off ruptures that ripple out from its underground origins. But on rare occasions, seismologists have observed quakes that reverse course, further shaking up areas that they passed through only ...
