Phys.org / Climate change could halve areas suitable for cattle, sheep and goat farming by 2100
A new study conducted at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) shows that grassland-based grazing systems—currently covering a third of Earth's surface and representing the world's largest production system—will ...
Medical Xpress / How blood biomarkers can predict trauma patient recovery days in advance
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have developed a way to predict how trauma patients will recover, days before complications come to fruition, by analyzing the molecules in their blood. In their study published ...
Phys.org / A smashing success: Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider wraps up final collisions
Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions—oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons—circulated through the twin 2.4-mile-circumference rings of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and ...
Dialog / How charges invert a long-standing empirical law in glass physics
If you've ever watched a glass blower at work, you've seen a material behaving in a very special way. As it cools, the viscosity of molten glass increases steadily but gradually, allowing it to be shaped without a mold. Physicists ...
Phys.org / Half of the world's coral reefs suffered major bleaching during the 2014–2017 global heat wave, estimates suggest
Benefits to society from coral reefs, including fisheries, tourism, coastal protection, pharmaceutical discovery and more, are estimated at about $9.8 trillion per year. For the first time, an international team led by Smithsonian ...
Medical Xpress / Doctors discover a simple method to predict the risk of brain tumor recurrence
Meningioma is the most common type of brain tumor. It does not develop in the brain tissue itself, but on the inside of the meninges, the membranes that surround the brain. In most cases, a meningioma is benign. However, ...
Medical Xpress / Australia's food labeling system isn't working—here's how we can fix it
If you've ever read a food label and come away feeling more confused, you're not alone. Since 2014, Australian shoppers have relied on the Health Star Rating scheme to help them choose which foods to eat. This system ranks ...
Phys.org / Study finds climate change set the stage for devastating wildfires in Argentina and Chile
Human-caused climate change had an important impact on the recent ferocious wildfires that engulfed parts of Chile and Argentina's Patagonia region, making the extremely high-risk conditions that led to widespread burning ...
Medical Xpress / Rejuvenating neurons restores learning and memory in mice
Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their connections, a property called ...
Phys.org / Wearable sensor can detect dangerous ammonia gas through color and electronics
Ammonia (NH3)—the second-most-produced chemical globally—has proven to be highly important in furthering human civilization over the centuries, both in terms of technological capabilities and innovation potential. It ...
Phys.org / When heat flows backwards: A neat solution for hydrodynamic heat transport
When we think about heat traveling through a material, we typically picture diffusive transport, a process that transfers heat from high-temperature to low-temperature as particles and molecules bump into each other, losing ...
Phys.org / Noise pollution is affecting birds' reproduction, stress levels and more: The good news is we can fix it
New research led by the University of Michigan is painting a more comprehensive picture of how noise pollution is impacting birds around the world. "The major takeaway from this study is that anthropogenic noise affects many ...
