Medical Xpress / Stem cell science unlocks more mysteries of the menstrual cycle
Amid all the advances in modern medicine, much of the science behind a woman's menstrual cycle remains mysterious, so a team at Hudson Institute of Medical Research is aiming to change that. Professor Caroline Gargett is ...
Phys.org / The US just approved a giant space mirror to test 'sunlight on demand.' Low Earth orbit is getting weird
A giant mirror to create "sunlight on demand" was just approved by the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), despite opposition from astronomers and the public, and real safety concerns.
Phys.org / Roadmap paper shows how superconductors can decarbonize transport sector
Superconducting technologies have the potential to supercharge the decarbonization of transport, saving gigatonnes of emissions in the future, a landmark new paper suggests.
Phys.org / Space cargo costs could fall more than 90% by 2040, study suggests
The expense of launching cargo into space will plummet over the next few years, with the cost of reaching orbit forecast to more than halve between now and the end of the decade, and fall by around 93% by 2040, according ...
Medical Xpress / Ultrafine air particles may drive 2 million premature deaths each year
Ultrafine particles (UFPs) –smaller than 100 nanometres and invisible to the naked eye—contribute substantially to illness and mortality worldwide. That is the finding of an international study led by researchers at the Max ...
Tech Xplore / Paintable electrodes could power creative and colorful wearable sensors
Engineers at Penn State are blending art and science to create cute, paint-on tattoos that could help spot heart attacks early, power robotic prosthetics and read brain waves—all within a colorful, customizable system that ...
Phys.org / With an eye toward exploration, researchers map moon's regolith thickness
New research by lunar scientists from Brown University provides critical new insights into the thickness of the moon's regolith, the layer of loose dust and rock that drapes the entire lunar surface.
Tech Xplore / Fed probe suggests Tesla's self-driving feature wasn't to blame in crash that killed a grandmother
Federal safety investigators looking into a runaway Tesla that killed a grandmother in her home say the driver had pressed the accelerator to full speed, suggesting the vehicle's self-driving software was not to blame.
Phys.org / How the trend for turning front gardens into driveways is adding to night‑time heat
Warm, sticky nights are becoming increasingly common in the UK.
Tech Xplore / AI agents create virtual playgrounds to help robots get crucial training data
Robots walking down the street, surrounded by astounded onlookers, are an increasingly common sight. But these machines aren't yet the do-it-all assistants you'd want working in a kitchen or factory, and a major bottleneck ...
Phys.org / Low carbon dioxide levels improve microbial production of biodegradable plastic
In an innovative gas fermentation process, reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide was found to significantly improve microbial production of the biodegradable plastic poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate]. Researchers found that ...
Phys.org / Heavy-element exotic dust may solve a neutron star merger mystery
When neutron stars merge, they create a powerful explosion called a kilonova that flings out neutron-rich material, some of which decays into heavy elements through a process called the r-process. Recent observations of kilonovae ...
