Phys.org / Discovery could give investigators a new tool in death investigations
A discovery by FIU researchers could help forensic investigators close the gap on estimating the time of a person's death.
Phys.org / Optical clock sets new accuracy record, bringing us closer to a new definition of the second
A research team at VTT MIKES has set a new record in optical-clock absolute frequency measurements using a strontium single-ion clock with exceptionally low uncertainty and high uptime.
Tech Xplore / Better predicting the lifespan of clean energy equipment for more efficient design
Technology, no matter how advanced, always comes with a shelf life. Mechanical equipment used in clean-energy systems is no different. But as global efforts toward carbon neutrality accelerate, assessing the durability of ...
Medical Xpress / FDA tells consumers to toss 19 cookware items that may contain lead
A growing list of pots and pans is now considered unsafe, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is urging folks to check their kitchens and get rid of them right away.
Phys.org / Q&A: Why understanding stem cells is the root of treating diseases from psoriasis to cancer
Your skin is in a constant state of reinvention. Every month, your body sheds and regenerates its entire outer layer—a complete turnover powered by tiny, tireless stem cells. These same cells spring into action when you ...
Tech Xplore / Avoiding marine collisions with system powered by radar and machine learning
Collisions between marine vessels and stationary structures, like offshore oil platforms and depleted wellheads, are becoming increasingly common. These collisions come with a cost—including the financial burden of lost ...

Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah (the U) participated in a clinical trial that found that a new combination treatment plan helped people with recurring grade 3 astrocytoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, ...
Phys.org / Fossils reveal anacondas have been giants for over 12 million years
A University of Cambridge-led team has analyzed giant anaconda fossils from South America to deduce that these tropical snakes reached their maximum size 12.4 million years ago and have remained giants ever since.
Phys.org / Flood risks in delta cities are increasing, Shanghai study finds
New research shows how the combination of extreme climate events, sea-level rise and land subsidence could create larger and deeper floods in coastal cities in future.
Phys.org / Ultrasonic pest control can protect beehives
Bees, and other pollinator species, are dying. Between pesticides, the climate crisis, and habitat loss, bee colonies are becoming weaker, leaving them more vulnerable to parasites like the greater and lesser wax moths. Vulnerable ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers unveil new algorithm to dramatically speed up stroke detection scans
When someone walks into an emergency room with symptoms of a stroke, every second matters. But today, diagnosing the type of stroke, the life-or-death distinction between a clot and a bleed, requires large, stationary machines ...
Tech Xplore / An AI system for real-time fault detection in rail transport
Railway infrastructure could be made safer and more reliable using AI, artificial intelligence, according to research published in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology. The research outlines ...
