Phys.org / What is the universe made of? Experts weigh in on the mysterious force that shapes our cosmic history
As the Dark Energy Survey (DES) releases its final results, we caught up with two physicists who've been involved in the project from its early days. In this Q&A, Josh Frieman, DES co-founder and associate laboratory director ...
Medical Xpress / A skin biopsy can detect a rare neurodegenerative disease
By determining the structure of the deposits responsible for transthyretin amyloidosis through a simple skin biopsy, scientists at UNIGE are paving the way for a new diagnostic method for neurodegenerative diseases. Transthyretin ...
Tech Xplore / Hybrid cars top choice for consumers in Europe in 2025: data
Hybrid-electric vehicles dethroned purely petrol-powered cars as the top power option among consumers in Europe last year, data showed Tuesday.
Medical Xpress / Study reveals struggles precede psychosis risk by years, suggesting prevention opportunities
A groundbreaking international study of over 1,000 adolescents and young adults at risk for psychosis has found that social and academic difficulties emerge years before clinical symptoms appear, offering a critical window ...
Phys.org / A brief history of sugar
A few thousand years ago, sugar was unknown in the western world. Sugarcane, a tall grass first domesticated in New Guinea around 6000BC, was initially chewed for its sweet juice rather than crystallized. By around 500BC, ...
Medical Xpress / Primary care home visits for older adults declined after payment policy changes and COVID-19 in Ontario, Canada
In Ontario, primary care home visits, which help older adults who are homebound or have difficulty getting to a clinic, increased during the 2010s but declined after a 2019 policy change reduced payment incentives and the ...
Phys.org / Particle permutation task can be tackled by quantum but not classical computers, study finds
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, are expected to outperform classical computers on some complex tasks. Over the past few decades, many physicists and quantum engineers ...
Phys.org / Most men do not subscribe to toxic masculinity traits, study finds
A growing niche space, the manosphere, has been taking shape in today's online forums and social media, preaching an aggressive definition of what it means to be a man. It promotes traits such as misogyny, dominance, and ...

A study published in The Annals of Family Medicine examined how different types of support for 32 primary care clinics affected opioid prescribing and overall costs using a 2 x 2 design. Clinics were divided into four groups: ...
Phys.org / Unlocking defect-free graphene electrodes for transparent electronics
Transparent electrodes transmit light while conducting electricity and are increasingly important in bioelectronic and optoelectronic devices. Their combination of high optical transparency, low electrical resistance, and ...
Phys.org / The many faces of monster galaxies
Some galaxies in the early universe were absolute powerhouses, churning out stars at rates that would dwarf the Milky Way's modest stellar production. These "monster galaxies," buried deep in dust between 10 and 12 billion ...
Phys.org / Four-eyed Cambrian fish fossils hint at origins of vertebrate pineal complex
New fossil evidence from China suggests that some of our vertebrate ancestors had four eyes. The study, published in Nature, takes a closer look at a structure found in multiple 518 million-year-old fossils, which appears ...
