Phys.org / Glaciers speed up and slow down at predictable times according to the first global map of ice movement
The speed at which glaciers move changes predictably each year, according to the first-ever global map of how glacier and ice sheet speeds vary with the seasons. Knowing this yearly rhythm could help us better predict sea-level ...
Phys.org / Smart material instantly changes colors on demand for use in textiles and consumer products
Scientists have developed a revolutionary technique for creating colors that can change on command. These are structural colors that don't rely on dyes or pigments and can be used for display signage, adaptive camouflage ...
Phys.org / Interstellar object covered in 'icy volcanoes' could rewrite our understanding of how comets formed
Analysis of the second confirmed interstellar comet to visit our solar system suggests that the alien body could be covered in erupting icy, volcano-like structures called cryovolcanoes. Researchers also discovered that the ...
Phys.org / Ghostwriters, polo shirts, and the fall of a landmark pesticide study
A flagship study that declared the weedkiller Roundup posed no serious health risks has been retracted with little fanfare, ending a 25-year saga that exposed how corporate interests can distort scientific research and influence ...
Medical Xpress / Lower doses of immunotherapy for skin cancer give better results, study suggests
According to a new study, lower doses of approved immunotherapy for malignant melanoma can give better results against tumors, while reducing side effects. This is reported by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in the Journal ...
Phys.org / Discovering how time shapes the lives of birds
New research from Te Herenga Waka Ph.D. graduate Tirth Vaishnav is exploring how birds' behavior and ecology vary across seasons and in response to both natural and human-driven environmental changes.
Medical Xpress / Comprehensive map reveals neuronal dendrites in the mouse brain in greater detail
Understanding the shape or morphology of neurons and mapping the tree-like branches via which they receive signals from other cells (i.e., dendrites) is a long-standing objective of neuroscience research. Ultimately, this ...
Phys.org / Archaeological study challenges paleo diet, revealing humans have long eaten 'processed plant foods'
Humans evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to be the ultimate flexible eaters—chasing carbohydrates and fats from plant and animal sources alike. A new study in the Journal of Archaeological Research by researchers ...
Tech Xplore / Fish-inspired filter removes 99% of microplastics from washing machine wastewater
Wastewater from washing machines is considered a major source of microplastics—tiny plastic particles that are suspected of harming human and animal health. Researchers at the University of Bonn have now developed a filter ...
Phys.org / Climate change threatens Europe's remaining peatlands, study shows
Only 7% of Europe's original area of peatlands remain. What's more: their climate boundaries are shifting. An international study led by Wageningen University as part of the WaterLANDS project analyzed the current distribution ...
Medical Xpress / 'Brainquake' phenomenon links psychotic states to chaotic information flow
Some psychiatric disorders, particularly schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (BP), can prompt the emergence of so-called psychotic states, mental states characterized by distorted thinking patterns, altered perceptions and ...
Medical Xpress / Standard road crossing intervals are often too short for older adults with limited mobility, research reveals
Road crossings need to slow down to allow people with mobility issues and older pedestrians enough time to use them, research has indicated.
