Science X / The ultimate viral stowaways: A Trojan Horse story
Forget hitchhiking; some tiny viruses are playing viral "Trojan Horse," literally sneaking inside other viruses to invade new species and even our brains. It's a microscopic masterclass in stealth infection.
Phys.org / We tested the new World Cup ball. This is what you need to know about how it will fly, dip and swerve
Every four years, the men's World Cup delivers some certainties. The pitch dimensions are tightly regulated, offside is signaled with a flag, and referees end the match with a blast of a whistle. But one key piece of equipment ...
Medical Xpress / AI-driven wearable patches help identify undetected hormone disruption in unexplained infertility
Men and women who appear hormonally "normal" may still have undetected disruptions in the timing and coordination of their reproductive hormones that could impair fertility, according to research presented at the 28th European ...
Phys.org / Sustainable chemistry: Iron substitutes noble metals in catalytic reactions
The production of many products used in everyday life and in industry, such as pharmaceuticals, plastics, and coatings, requires chemical catalysts, often expensive noble metals with limited availability. Researchers at the ...
Phys.org / Images: NASA's Perseverance captures panorama at 'Arbot'
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover used its Mastcam-Z camera to capture this panorama of an area nicknamed "Arbot" on April 5, 2026, the 1,882nd Martian day (sol) of the mission, during the rover's deepest push west beyond Jezero ...
Science X / Cities are rewriting growth rules as wealth rises, pollution drops and a long-assumed link starts to break
Cities are a double-edged sword. They provide plenty of job opportunities, and most of the world's money is made in them, but on the other hand, they create most of the planet's pollution. For decades, the prevailing view ...
Phys.org / How short-form videos may aid the teaching of small-engine maintenance
The 1974 novel "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" offered a simple but enduring idea: Working on machines should not be about just fixing them, but slowing down, paying attention, and reflecting on both the work ...
Phys.org / RNA's first letter may shape antiviral alarms, with A outpacing G
Researchers at the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw (IIMCB), led by Prof. Gracjan Michlewski, have shown that a subtle difference at the very beginning of an RNA molecule can influence how strongly ...
Phys.org / Mathematical method calculates most efficient Earth-moon route yet
Researchers have developed a mathematical method that enables more precise calculations of the most economical travel routes between the orbits of celestial bodies. To demonstrate this method, they calculated a more efficient ...
Phys.org / New species of venomous box jellyfish discovered in Singapore
Finding highly venomous box jellyfish that are almost invisible in water is not an easy task—but researching them is crucial so that we can learn how to safely avoid them. Stings from these "sea-wasps" are extremely painful ...
Phys.org / Musk wants SpaceX to go public. Here's how it works
Hundreds of companies raised a combined $70 billion by selling shares to the public in the United States last year.
Phys.org / Rivalry with neighboring groups may be a key driver of male size in primates
In many primate species, males are much larger than their female counterparts, which is generally attributed to male competition for mates (sexual selection). But bigger bodies may not just be about alpha males defeating ...
