Phys.org / Land use acts as a 'silent amplifier' of extreme heat, AI-driven study reveals
A new study using Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) has revealed land-use change—particularly deforestation and unplanned agricultural expansion—is dramatically intensifying heat waves across Africa, with findings ...
Phys.org / Cell surface glycoRNA clusters found to fine-tune growth factor signaling
The recent discovery of glycoRNAs on the cell surface upended the world of cell biology. These glycoRNAs were found to form highly organized clusters with cell surface RNA binding proteins (csRBPs), but their purpose remained ...
Tech Xplore / America is falling behind in the global EV race. That's going to cost the US auto industry
At the 2026 Detroit Auto Show, the spotlight quietly shifted. Electric vehicles, once framed as the inevitable future of the industry, were no longer the centerpiece. Instead, automakers emphasized hybrids, updated gasoline ...
Phys.org / 3D material mimics graphene's electron flow for green computing
University of Liverpool researchers have discovered a way to host some of the most significant properties of graphene in a three-dimensional (3D) material, potentially removing the hurdles for these properties to be used ...
Medical Xpress / What causes chronic pain? New study identifies key culprit in the brain
A neural circuit hidden in an understudied region of the brain plays a critical role in turning temporary pain into pain that can last months or years, according to new University of Colorado Boulder research.
Medical Xpress / Sewage monitoring uncovers 'invisible' COVID-19 cases missed by testing
As COVID-19 testing becomes less routine, official case numbers can make outbreaks look smaller than they really are. A research team led by Professor Michio Murakami has now shown that wastewater surveillance can uncover ...
Phys.org / Cells' built-in capacity limit for copying DNA could impact cancer treatment
For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a cell divides, which happens constantly. Without this process, we would die. These essential, ongoing ...
Medical Xpress / Prepping for future pandemics: MERS vaccine candidate shows long-lasting immune response
A new study has shown for the first time that an experimental vaccine against Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) induces a stable and functional immune response in humans that persists for at least two years after a ...
Phys.org / Massive star WOH G64 is still a red supergiant—for now
An international team of astronomers led by a researcher at Keele University has solved a long-standing cosmic mystery surrounding one of the most extreme stars ever observed. The star, known as WOH G64, is located in the ...
Phys.org / Prototype cassettes mark key step toward new CMS high-granularity calorimeter
In beehives on the CERN site, a buzzing team of bees collaborates to build hexagon after hexagon of honeycomb—a shape that allows the most honey for a given amount of beeswax to be stored. Working nearby, a team of similarly ...
Phys.org / Another Arctic blast bears down on US as snow cleanup drags on
Another blast of Arctic air was set to spread across much of the United States from Thursday night, even as local authorities struggled to dig out from mounds of snow and ice days after a giant storm passed.
Phys.org / New chemi-mechanical process removes pigments and restores properties in recycled plastics
Researchers in Worcester Polytechnic Institute's Department of Chemical Engineering and at the University of Akron have published research in Chemical Engineering Journal about a new technology that seeks to solve long-standing ...
