Phys.org / Schools turn to therapy to teach children values
Therapeutic education has become a dominant influence on the teaching of values in Britain's primary schools, according to new research from the Universities of Surrey, York and Sheffield. From mindful "body scans" to "Zones ...
Tech Xplore / Mind readers: How large language models encode theory-of-mind
Imagine you're watching a movie, in which a character puts a chocolate bar in a box, closes the box and leaves the room. Another person, also in the room, moves the bar from a box to a desk drawer. You, as an observer, know ...
Tech Xplore / Spray 3D concrete printing simulator boosts strength and design
Concrete 3D printing reduces both time and cost by eliminating traditional formwork, the temporary mold for casting. Yet most of today's systems rely on extrusion-based methods, which deposit material very close to a nozzle ...
Medical Xpress / Kidney organoids uncover Hippo signaling pathway as a therapeutic target for nephronophthisis
Using human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived kidney organoids, researchers from Science Tokyo uncovered how abnormal Hippo signaling drives fibrosis in nephronophthisis, a genetic kidney disorder caused by NPHP1 deficiency.
Phys.org / Key 'fingerprint' reveals slowdown of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), an ocean current system that transports heat from the tropics to the North Atlantic, plays a vital role in regulating the global climate. Most climate models project ...
Phys.org / Non-harmonic two-color femtosecond lasers achieve 1,000-fold enhancement of white-light output in water
Scientists at Japan's Institute for Molecular Science have achieved a 1,000-fold enhancement in white-light generation inside water by using non-harmonic two-color femtosecond laser excitation. This previously unexplored ...
Phys.org / Billions live in environments that violate human rights, global analysis finds
More than 99% of the world's 7.7 billion people have one or more of their environmental rights threatened, according to new research.
Phys.org / Dinosaur eggshells unlock a new way to tell time in the fossil record
An international team of geologists and paleontologists is pioneering a groundbreaking methodology to reliably determine the age of fossil-bearing rocks—by directly dating fossilized dinosaur eggshells.
Phys.org / Arts boost youth well-being, drive economic gains: Study
A new study led by The University of Manchester's #BeeWell team and PBE (formerly Pro Bono Economics) has found that artistic activities can dramatically improve young people's well-being—with effects equivalent to the ...
Phys.org / Space debris struck a Chinese spacecraft. How the incident could be a wake-up call for international collaboration
China's Shenzhou-20 spacecraft took a hit from a piece of space debris floating through orbit, causing Chinese officials to delay the spacecraft's return from its Tiangong space station in early November 2025.
Phys.org / Very dense olive orchards thrive on less fertilizer
Rows of tightly packed olive trees stretch across California's Central Valley. These super-high-density orchards, where trees are planted close together for faster, mechanized harvesting, can grow strong with less fertilizer ...
Phys.org / Destroying crazy ant nest structure makes them vulnerable to pathogens
Invasive tawny crazy ants have been wreaking havoc across the U.S. Gulf Coast from Florida to Texas, disrupting ecosystems and causing headaches for homeowners. Now scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have devised ...
