Tech Xplore / Drone-mounted camera can detect plastic landmines without an internet connection
Today's antipersonnel land mines are small and often have plastic casings that standard metal detectors cannot register. Geophysical techniques such as ground-penetrating radar, magnetometry and electromagnetic induction ...
Phys.org / The little red galaxies that may be sending us neutrinos
Peering far into the distant, high-redshift universe, the James Webb telescope has discovered an abundance of small red galaxies known as the Little Red Dots. From their observations, astronomers believe that at least some ...
Tech Xplore / 3D-printed battery electrolyte could let devices store power in almost any shape
Researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso have developed a way to 3D-print an essential battery component in nearly any shape. Their innovation could free engineers from the constraints of standard rechargeable battery ...
Phys.org / Ozone depletion began decades before discovery of ozone hole, scientists find
The Antarctic ozone hole was discovered in 1985, when scientists observed a severe depletion in Earth's protective layer of stratospheric ozone. Industrial chemicals known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), then widely used as ...
Phys.org / Researchers develop a new predictive model for designing 2D perovskites
Two-dimensional (2D) perovskites are increasingly recognized as promising candidate materials for the next generation of optoelectronic devices. These materials combine key characteristics of both 2D semiconductors and three-dimensional ...
Phys.org / El Niño is shaping up for a hot summer—could recycled water be part of the solution?
With El Niño officially declared for summer 2026, Dr. Laura Fernandez and researchers at Macquarie University are testing the use of recycled water to irrigate trees, helping cool Western Sydney.
Medical Xpress / Two prostate cancer mutations reveal opposite responses to ferroptosis therapy
A new study by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has identified genetic factors that determine whether prostate cancers are susceptible to a type of cell death known as ferroptosis. These findings, ...
Phys.org / Mice actively seek better views to make visual decisions, virtual reality experiments show
Animals don't experience the world passively. A hawk tilts its head to track prey. A person leans forward to read a sign. Scientists call this "active sensing": moving the body to gather better information. A specific version ...
Phys.org / Loss of DNA protector gene exposes vulnerabilities in cancerous cells
Every time a cell copies its DNA, parts of the genome are exposed and vulnerable to damage or errors. Molecular biologist Simon Boulton is interested in how cells spot and repair damage to their DNA, and what happens if this ...
Medical Xpress / Rural Americans more likely to view cancer as a death sentence, poll finds
People living in rural America are more likely to view cancer as a death sentence, a new survey reports. About 43% of people living in rural areas say a cancer diagnosis means inevitable death, compared to 35% of people in ...
Phys.org / World Cup research reveals strategy to give teams a penalty-shootout edge
One of football's most iconic moments—the penalty shootout—may be far more strategic than previously thought, with new research challenging the notion that the team kicking first holds a major advantage.
Medical Xpress / Hybrid work improves the work experience—particularly for women
The transition to hybrid work has improved the psychosocial work environment among white-collar employees, according to new research from Umeå University. Positive effects include more accessible leadership, greater autonomy ...
