Phys.org / Longer wildfire seasons pose an increasing threat for species under climate change

Wildfires are becoming more frequent and are ravaging new parts of the world due to global warming. A study led by researchers from the University of Gothenburg shows that this change is increasing the vulnerability of thousands ...

Phys.org / Work attitudes barely shifted after the 2008 crisis across 19 European countries

An analysis of survey data on 77,567 people in 19 European countries, including the U.K., by Raphaël Piters, of Sorbonne University, France, found little change in attitudes to work between 1999 and 2017. The researcher analyzed ...

Tech Xplore / High-entropy design achieves 3-fold increase in hydrogen production

While mixing materials typically leads to instability, there exists a phenomenon known as high entropy, where increasing compositional complexity can actually enhance stability. KAIST researchers have leveraged this principle ...

Phys.org / Phengite identified as key carrier of halogens into Earth's deep mantle

Surface volatiles—chemical substances that easily become gases or fluids at relatively low temperatures and pressures—are transported into Earth through subduction zones, with some being transported into the deep mantle and ...

Phys.org / Body size, lifespan and mobility can help predict which species are most threatened as planet changes

How can we predict species' responses to always-arising changes in our world? A long-term ecological study from Yokohama National University researchers suggests the answer may lie in a few small simple biological traits. ...

Phys.org / Microscopic mechanism of 'quantum collapse' in real-world environments uncovered for the first time

A research team has, for the first time in the world, elucidated the microscopic mechanism by which quantum order is lost and collapses in "open quantum environments" existing in nature. Since perfectly isolated quantum systems ...

Phys.org / Quantum computing without interruptions

Mid-circuit measurements are one of the biggest practical hurdles in quantum error correction on encoded qubits. Researchers in Innsbruck and Aachen have now proposed and experimentally demonstrated that a universal fault-tolerant ...

Phys.org / Less than half of parents say schools are ready for nudification AI abuse

Less than half of parents are confident that their children's school is well prepared if their students become victims of "nudification AI" apps, a survey has found. The survey found that just 47% were confident or very confident ...

Phys.org / The good life requires two things, self‑knowledge and friends. You can't have one without the other

Friends can help us with all kinds of things in life. How could I forget moving that piano for friends in Chicago? Fortunately, none of us ended up in the ER.

Phys.org / Turning uncertainty into a design tool for AI-engineered molecules

While precision seems critical for science, researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Texas A&M University are embracing uncertainty, using it to fine-tune artificial intelligence ...

Medical Xpress / New study finds a missing link in how the brain regulates appetite

When the stomach is full, how does the brain know to stop eating? Scientists long assumed the answer lies mainly with neurons, the brain's primary signaling cells. But a new study published in the Proceedings of the National ...
