Phys.org / Research finds exposure to 'untrustworthy' social media is rare, the fine print is less reassuring
How much of what you see on social media comes from sources that repeatedly post falsehoods? And if that content quietly vanished from your feed, would you believe anything different months later?
Phys.org / How invasive rats rewire coral reef food webs to create winners and losers
Invasive rats on tropical islands are creating winners and losers among the tiny underwater animals near the bottom of the food chain that inhabit surrounding coral reefs. Scientists say the changes to these marine ecosystems ...
Medical Xpress / A third of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps exhibit anxiety symptoms
A considerable proportion of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) exhibit anxiety symptoms, according to a study published in the Journal of Inflammation Research.
Phys.org / More evidence Mars once had water emerges from old Spirit rover data
More than 20 years after NASA's Spirit rover landed on Mars, a researcher from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has uncovered new evidence that suggests water may once have covered large parts of the red planet.
Phys.org / Chicxulub's lingering dust may have turned falling debris into a global firestorm
Sixty-six million years ago, the six-mile-wide (10-kilometer-wide) Chicxulub asteroid crash-landed in Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula and changed life on Earth forever. The reign of the dinosaurs ended, and only creatures that ...
Phys.org / A way to read quantum bits faster and with less hardware
Quantum computers process information in a fundamentally different way from conventional computers, using quantum bits, or qubits, that can exist in multiple states at once. This could allow them to tackle problems beyond ...
Medical Xpress / Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease linked to higher odds of eosinophilic esophagitis
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is significantly associated with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), according to a study published online July 22 in the Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
Tech Xplore / Standardized battery database could improve AI-guided solid-state battery design
Thousands of peer-reviewed papers on battery devices are published each year. Despite this rapid growth, the data contained within these publications are often reported in different formats and with varying levels of detail ...
Phys.org / Kitchen cling film helps build centimeter-scale ultrathin electronics and optics
As materials become thinner—now reaching the thickness of single atoms—it has become increasingly difficult to create sufficiently large sheets and transfer them without cracking them into tiny flakes. Recent work by a broad ...
Medical Xpress / Engineered gut bacteria show promise against pancreatic cancer
Cancer immunotherapies have transformed treatment for many cancers, but pancreatic cancer remains especially difficult to treat. One major reason is that pancreatic tumors often create a "cold" tumor microenvironment, where ...
Phys.org / ELT's spectrograph could 'sniff out' biosignatures on other worlds
Before any major telescope commissioning, there are dozens of papers that attempt to define what we can expect from it. We're starting to see some come through for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), which hopefully will ...
Phys.org / Latest woodchip bioreactor sites reducing fertilizer pollution in local waterways by up to 99%
High nitrogen levels entering downstream waterways can harm fragile ecosystems. Across the world, excess nutrients commonly trigger algae blooms and fish kills in enclosed waterways near intensive horticulture.
