Phys.org / The first signs of human cremation may date back 100,000 years
The latest discoveries by an international research team, which includes Academy Research Fellow Ferhat Kaya from the University of Oulu, Finland, offer a detailed view of how early humans lived, moved, and adapted to their ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover thriving hard-substrate fauna in Oceania's deep sea
In the crushing darkness of the hadal zone—deep ocean trenches plunging 6,000 m to nearly 11,000 m—scientists have uncovered a hidden community. A study published in Science on May 14 reports the discovery of a protist-dominated ...
Phys.org / Stressed crystal creates nanoscale patterns on chip materials at room temperature
A new chip-making technique exploits a material's crystal structure to create nanoscale patterns at room temperature directly onto hard materials used in devices, including silica. The method could make it easier to pattern ...
Medical Xpress / Does ceramide lipid metabolism affect response to prostate cancer drugs?
Ceramides—lipid molecules in cells that affect many physiological functions including cell differentiation, migration, and death—and their metabolites have been implicated in the development of cancer and other conditions. ...
Phys.org / Saturday citations: Two T. rexes and new exercise guidance that scientists are not calling 'easy'
John Hammond voice: "Welcome... to Saturday Citations." We're talking about different types of T. rexes today, along with some unwelcome news about cardiovascular health, but this week also brought news about the connection ...
Phys.org / Key switch controlling soil fungi symbiosis could solve a longstanding agricultural problem
Over the course of evolution, plants have developed an elegant strategy to counteract a lack of phosphate in the soil—they form symbiotic relationships with soil fungi. These mycorrhizal fungi efficiently supply their plant ...
Medical Xpress / Opinion: Increased oversight of private equity in health care is needed to protect patients and the physician workforce
Private equity investment in health care requires increased regulatory oversight and policies to better protect patients and physicians from the adverse impact of growing corporate interests, says the American College of ...
Phys.org / Nickelate reveals nodeless gap, providing key clue to high-temperature superconductivity
The mechanism of high-temperature (TC) superconductivity is a key challenge in condensed matter physics. Recently, Chinese scientists made significant progress in the study of high-TC nickelate superconductors.
Medical Xpress / How the gut rewires the brain to drive cravings for essential nutrients
Eating is not only about getting enough calories. Animals also need to choose the right nutrients. When the body lacks protein, it must seek essential amino acids—the protein building blocks that cannot be made internally ...
Phys.org / Collaborative education for solving climate challenges
Research published in the International Journal of Collaborative Engineering has found that universities that bring together environmental engineering and landscape architecture students in joint projects produce stronger ...
Tech Xplore / Could sodium replace lithium as the dominant ingredient in batteries?
The world we live in today runs on batteries. But the lithium ion batteries that dominate the market are expensive and environmentally demanding to extract. The raw materials for lithium ion batteries are scarce and concentrated ...
Medical Xpress / Lessons from Australia's social media ban for children: Q&A
Australia became the first country to prohibit those under age 16 from using major social media platforms in December 2025. The aim was to limit the potentially harmful cognitive, social, and mental health effects on children. ...
