Phys.org / Stress gives bees sharper vision and faster reactions, researchers discover
Bumblebees see the world differently under stress, processing visual information more sharply and making quicker decisions, new research from Newcastle University reveals.
Tech Xplore / Seaweed-based ingredient helps turn dirt into 3D-printed walls
An ingredient that gives ice cream a creamier texture could make natural earthen materials like clay and sand easier to 3D print into durable structures, according to new research led by scientists at the University of Colorado ...
Tech Xplore / 3D photothermal design unlocks 8.5-fold higher solar evaporation for desalination and crop irrigation
The global shortage of freshwater has become a critical challenge. Conventional water treatment relies heavily on fossil fuels and associated infrastructure, which can make it unsuitable for remote and harsh regions. In contrast, ...
Phys.org / Algae microbots take aim at bladder cancer
Tiny algae-based robots guided by magnets could improve bladder cancer treatment by boosting delivery of chemotherapy drugs into tumors, researchers say.
Phys.org / Four new chameleon species found on Mozambique's mountaintop 'sky islands'
Tropical rainforest patches perched on isolated granite mountains in northern Mozambique have yielded four new species of sylvan chameleons, according to a new study by Prof. Krystal A. Tolley and Dr. Werner Conradie, recently ...
Medical Xpress / Low testosterone linked to cancer risk in men
New research shows men with very low testosterone levels are at higher risk of both fatal and nonfatal cancer later in life. But while the research found men with low testosterone were 18% more likely to die of cancer years ...
Phys.org / Using less, living better: Demand-side climate action wins public support
Climate strategies are still judged largely across two dimensions: how much they cost and how many tons of CO2 they save. A new study published in Communications Sustainability argues that this narrow lens overlooks much ...
Phys.org / Seal pups and seabird chicks are suffering in extreme weather. How can we protect them?
Extreme weather is becoming the new normal, disrupting human communities across the globe.
Medical Xpress / Wildfires pose risk for premature births and low birth weight
Temperatures climb to new record highs every summer. In many parts of Europe, this marks the start of the most dangerous time of year for wildfires. What begins as a natural disaster has far-reaching consequences for the ...
Tech Xplore / Microscopic image changes can bypass AI guardrails, nearly doubling unsafe responses
It may look like a picture of a panda bear to you, but to your business's AI agent, it can act like a skeleton key, bypassing safety safeguards and potentially causing the model to generate harmful, misleading or policy-violating ...
Phys.org / Next-generation pesticide disrupts bumblebee reproduction
Bumblebees are only an inch long, but they help power the global food system. Roughly one-third of the food we grow depends on pollinators like bees—and those bees are regularly decimated by pesticides.
Phys.org / Women negotiate as effectively as men—but leave people happier
Men and women achieve similar economic outcomes in negotiations, but female negotiators foster stronger interpersonal relationships, which lead in turn to greater satisfaction with the result and a greater desire to negotiate ...
