Phys.org / ESA's Mars orbiters watch solar superstorm hit the red planet
What happens when a solar superstorm hits Mars? Thanks to the European Space Agency's Mars orbiters, we now know: glitching spacecraft and a supercharged upper atmosphere.
Phys.org / Thermogenetics: How proteins are controllable by heat
Protein activity can be precisely regulated via subtle changes in temperature using heat-sensitive switches. Underlying this capability is a novel modular design strategy developed by researchers at the Institute of Pharmacy ...
Phys.org / JWST reveals surprising secrets in Jupiter's northern lights
An international team of scientists, led by a Ph.D. researcher from Northumbria University, has made further discoveries about a spectacular feature of Jupiter's northern lights, revealing a never-before-seen temperature ...
Medical Xpress / How cocaine rewires the brain to drive relapse
When a cocaine addict relapses, it isn't a matter of personal failure—it's the biological result of their brain's rewiring, new research finds. Michigan State University scientists have found that cocaine changes how the ...
Phys.org / Making mini-lightning in a block of plastic
Lightning formation and the conditions triggering it have long been shrouded in a cloud of mystery, but new research led by Penn State scientists is lifting the fog. Using mathematical calculations, the researchers have discovered ...
Tech Xplore / Your clothes may become smarter than you
You're probably used to the sight of smartwatches on people's wrists. But what about smart clothes? Researchers at the University of Georgia are exploring how the clothes people wear can potentially track and protect their ...
Phys.org / What Geminga's 100 TeV cutoff may mean for cosmic-ray acceleration in the Milky Way
For the first time, the Tibet ASγ Experiment has successfully measured magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence on scales below one parsec (approximately 3.3 light-years) within the gamma-ray halo surrounding the Geminga pulsar ...
Phys.org / Möbius-inspired surface controls light in two directions
Light is an unusually rich carrier of information. Its direction of travel, wavelength, and polarization can all be used to encode signals or images. Yet controlling these properties independently remains difficult, especially ...
Medical Xpress / Ketone supplementation improves immunotherapy outcomes in mice, with human clinical trial underway
A naturally occurring byproduct of liver metabolism—the ketone body, β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB)—can strengthen the fitness and antitumor activity of CAR T cells. The findings, reported on March 6, 2026 in the journal Cell, ...
Phys.org / Trapping light on thermal photodetectors shatters speed records
Electrical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated the fastest pyroelectric photodetector to date, which works by absorbing heat generated by incoming light. Capable of capturing light from the entire electromagnetic ...
Medical Xpress / Quitting GLP-1 drugs triggers rapid regain, but 25% of weight loss may last
A year after stopping taking weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy, people regain—on average—60% of their lost weight. But beyond this, their regained weight plateaus, with individuals managing to keep off 25% ...
Phys.org / Radiocarbon dating rewrites angiosperm trees' lifespan records worldwide
For decades, scientists have relied on tree rings to estimate how long trees can live. But new research suggests that this widely used method may have been underestimating the lifespan of many flowering trees—sometimes ...
