A new report from the American Psychological Association warns that student engagement with educational technology is not the same as learning—and that generative AI tools pose particular risks by improving students' immediate ...
Medical Xpress / Study reveals 12-year rise in age of tuberculosis diagnosis in Zimbabwe
More people die from tuberculosis than from any other infectious disease globally, with an estimated 1.2 million deaths attributed to it in 2025. In Africa, people diagnosed with tuberculosis accounted for around a quarter ...
Phys.org / Watching nanoparticles form in real time uncovers 'missing link' in microwave-assisted manufacturing
Advanced materials power everything from batteries and electronics to clean energy technologies. For years, engineers have known that microwave-assisted synthesis can dramatically accelerate the chemical reactions used to ...
Phys.org / Engineered bacteria offer a new way to accelerate rock weathering for carbon removal
Rock weathering, the breakdown and dissolving of rocks and minerals caused by their exposure to water, air and biological life, is a major regulator of Earth's atmospheric CO2 levels and climate. Throughout Earth's history, ...
Tech Xplore / Light-powered soft robots that can keep jumping forever
Researchers from North Carolina State University have created teardrop-shaped soft robots that leap upward or forward when exposed to infrared light—and will keep jumping as long as the light is present. The work demonstrates ...
Phys.org / Firelight may have sparked human storytelling by extending social hours
New research from the University of St Andrews has developed a novel hypothesis of how firelight was critical to the evolution of sophisticated storytelling.
Phys.org / Pacific islands to face food shortages due to global warming: Scientists
The Pacific islands will face food shortages, and drinking water will be affected by rising seas, scientists said Wednesday, as a U.N. report found the world would fail to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
Phys.org / Physicists take Hall effect in a new direction
Carnegie Mellon University scientists have uncovered a new phenomenon that challenges a longstanding assumption about how electronic materials respond to magnetic fields. The discovery broadens the fundamental understanding ...
Phys.org / Single amino acid swap expands nanoparticle vaccine approach to influenza viruses
Influenza viruses constantly shapeshift to evade recognition by the immune system. This shapeshifting occurs in critical proteins like hemagglutinin (HA), which controls how the virus attaches to human cells before entering ...
Medical Xpress / MS therapy uses patients' red blood cells to curb autoimmune attacks without broadly suppressing immunity
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that particularly affects young adults. The disease is driven by immune cells—primarily what are known as T lymphocytes. These cells normally fight off ...
Phys.org / Study reveals distinct patterns across single-, multi-, and mass homicides
An updated analysis of U.S. homicide data has found that intimate partner violence (IPV) often precipitates mass homicide and is also frequently associated with multi-victim and single-victim deaths. The study categorizes ...
