Phys.org / Plasma rings around M dwarf stars offer new clues to planetary habitability
How does a star affect the makeup of its planets? And what does this mean for the habitability of distant worlds? Carnegie's Luke Bouma is exploring a new way to probe this critical question—using naturally occurring space ...
Phys.org / Global data gaps highlight why citizen science has now become essential for official statistics
For more than three decades, DHS provided vital demographic and health data on population, health, HIV, and nutrition in over 90 countries. Its termination leaves major gaps in tracking the UN Sustainable Development Goals ...
Phys.org / What does 'everyday' peace look like? Mapping how people think about peacebuilding
A new study led by Yale anthropologist Catherine Panter-Brick examines how stakeholders in socially diverse, conflict-affected societies conceptualize everyday peace, drawing on a comparative analysis across different groups ...
Phys.org / Cosmic lens reveals hyperactive cradle of future galaxy cluster
Galaxy clusters are formed by a dense packing of many galaxies, making them the most massive structures in the universe. Their progenitors, protoclusters, show these galaxies in their infancy, offering a window to study how ...
Tech Xplore / Brew, smell, and serve: AI steals the show at CES 2026
AI took over CES 2026, powering coffee machines to brew the perfect espresso, a device to create your perfect scent, and ball-hitting tennis robots that make you forget it's human against machine.
Medical Xpress / Fatigue before cancer treatment linked to adverse events
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center-led investigators found that higher patient-reported fatigue before cancer treatment aligned with higher odds of severe, life-threatening, and fatal treatment-related toxic effects.
Phys.org / Lipids have their own VIP drivers for reaching cellular targets
In addition to providing energy, lipids are also essential building blocks of our cell membranes. However, despite their importance, they remain poorly understood.
Phys.org / Asteroid impact simulation reveals the hidden strength of space rocks
Physicists at the University of Oxford have contributed to a new study which has found that iron-rich asteroids can tolerate far more energy than previously thought without breaking apart—a breakthrough with direct implications ...
Phys.org / Long school breaks tied to dip in cognitive test performance
Researchers at UConn and the University of Minnesota have discovered that there may be more to the "summer slide" phenomenon following a break in schooling than just forgetting material. In fact, the researchers found reliable ...
Phys.org / NASA cancels spacewalk due to medical issue and may bring the crew back early
NASA canceled its first spacewalk of the year and may bring its crew back early from the International Space Station due to an onboard medical issue.
Phys.org / Dogs' dinners can have greater climate impact than those of their owners
Dogs fed on premium, meat-rich pet food can have a bigger dietary carbon pawprint than their owners, according to the largest study into dog food's climate impact.
Medical Xpress / Twin study ties childbearing timing to biological aging
A study based on Finnish twins shows that reproductive history is associated, at the population level, with women's lifespan and biological aging. In the study, mothers of large families, women who had no children, or women ...
