Phys.org / Bow-and-arrow-shaped radio galaxy discovered by citizen scientist
Astronomers have discovered a "remarkable" bow-and-arrow-shaped radio galaxy with an enormous arc-like structure extending nearly 1.8 million light-years across. The newly identified system, detailed in a new paper published ...
Medical Xpress / Hibernation-like cooling after stroke may reduce brain damage
Our body loves the state of homeostasis, where everything is in perfect equilibrium, from temperature to pH levels to fluid balance. As soon as the body's core temperature drops below 95°F (35°C) and stays there for a long ...
Phys.org / Scorching heat waves, torrential rain, all in a matter of days—it's not just bad luck
After a heat wave, we crave relief, not more extreme weather. But increasingly, we have to contend with a succession of extremes—ricocheting from extreme heat to intense storms to flooding waterways.
Medical Xpress / Lower plasminogen levels spur stronger liver repair after surgery in mice, study finds
The liver is one of the few organs capable of regenerating after surgery—a remarkable ability that makes lifesaving procedures possible for thousands of patients each year. But not every liver regenerates as expected. Some ...
Medical Xpress / A global push to recognize the threat of toxoplasmosis
One-third of the world's population is infected with the Toxoplasma parasite, which can cause ocular toxoplasmosis, an eye infection that can damage the retina and result in permanent vision loss. Although often seen as an ...
Phys.org / Experiment upends beliefs on how electrons actually behave in warm dense matter
Researchers at European XFEL, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), Rostock University and other collaborating institutions have used high-precision experiments to demonstrate that the most widely used models for the ...
Phys.org / How sperm whale vocal dialects evolve as they adopt new calls while still remembering the old
New research from the University of St. Andrews shows how sperm whale vocal dialects evolve as they adopt new calls while still remembering the old. An international team of researchers studying vocal dialects in the endangered ...
Phys.org / Heat-struck Italians cool off in ancient stone 'trulli'
Once relics of a bygone way of life, the iconic dry-stone dwellings with conical roofs dotted across Puglia are in increasing demand as cool havens in Italy's sweltering south.
Medical Xpress / A ban won't stop abortion pill access, telehealth providers say
Two developments often get lost in the public's perception of the abortion wars. One is that the number of abortions in the U.S. has increased dramatically year over year since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade ...
Phys.org / Graphene plasmon cavities enable advanced and scalable terahertz photodetectors
How could we noninvasively distinguish between healthy and cancerous tissue? And how could we increase the speed of wireless communications? These two seemingly unrelated questions may share the same answer: terahertz (THz) ...
Phys.org / Espresso 'pucks' stop behaving predictably above certain pressures
When a physics student asked baristas at the Warsaw Coffee Conference what their biggest question for scientists was, the baristas said they wanted to know how to stop channeling during brewing.
Phys.org / Five phases of localization physics observed in a single quantum system
Physicists in China have observed five phases in localization physics within a single quantum system. Using an advanced photonic platform, the team, led by Yucheng Wang and Jingyun Fan at the Southern University of Science ...
