Phys.org / Black hole jet may be stirring gas cloud containing early 'red potato' galaxy
A black hole may be stirring a "pot" of gas containing a neighboring galaxy in the early universe, according to a new study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics that used observations from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. ...
Medical Xpress / Is it worse to eat unhealthy food in the morning, or later in the day? And what if you skip breakfast?
Many of us have grown up with the mantra that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But whether it's snatching an extra half hour of sleep or focusing on getting the kids out of the house, there are various reasons ...
Phys.org / Combined nanoparticle and internal laser method could make cancer therapy less invasive
In a promising development for cancer treatment, a collaborative research team has overcome two issues that have prevented photothermal therapy, a much less invasive treatment option than surgery and/or radiation, from becoming ...
Phys.org / Arctic winter sea ice returns to significant decline, ending the temporary slowdown
New analysis shows that a "pause" in Arctic winter sea ice decline seen in the early 2020s has ended following record lows in 2025 and early 2026. The study, led by the University of Southampton in collaboration with the ...

Phys.org / Soil organic carbon increases crop yield but can't help with extreme drought
In cases of extreme drought, soil organic carbon does not improve crop yields, Colorado State University research has found. The finding contradicts the commonly held belief that soil organic carbon benefits yields most during ...
Phys.org / AI tool reveals climate shifts may have fueled bursts of bird evolution
University of Michigan researchers have used an AI tool to demonstrate that birds in the group Passeriformes evolved in rapid evolutionary bursts and that these bursts frequently coincided with climate shifts throughout Earth's ...
Phys.org / Chemists develop a molecular platform for the selective control of oxygen reaction pathways
Controlling how oxygen reacts is important for improving technologies such as batteries, fuel cells and environmentally sustainable chemical processes. A research team led by professor Seung Jun Hwang from KAIST's Department ...
Medical Xpress / People are living longer, but spending more years in poor health
People around the world are living longer than ever before but spending more of those additional years in poor health, according to a new Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study published in The Lancet Public Health.
Phys.org / Mars's 2018 planetwide dust storm hints at possible solar influence on its weather
Solar storms may affect weather on Mars when they strike at the same time as major Martian dust storms, a new study suggests for the first time. Researchers found evidence of rising temperatures in the red planet's lower ...
Phys.org / 80‑million‑year‑old snake fossil sheds light on why lizards lost their limbs and started slithering
Snakes are everywhere in our legends and mythology. Yet for most of us, our blood runs cold whenever we encounter these strangely undulating, scaly tubes of muscle slithering through the leaf litter.
Phys.org / New insights into how DNA, the body's instruction manual for life, is regulated
Scientists at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Center have uncovered new insights into how cells regulate DNA methylation, a fundamental process that helps keep potentially harmful viral elements in our genome under control.
