Phys.org / Microbial network restructuring mitigates long-term soil carbon emissions from warming, decade-long study finds
Soils release approximately 40–60 petagrams (Pg) of carbon annually into the atmosphere through microbial metabolism. Climate warming is projected to further enhance soil microbial respiration, intensifying positive carbon–climate ...
Medical Xpress / Family history key to predicting antidepressant response
A new study from Queen Mary University of London shows that a family's experience with certain medicines could help doctors predict how future generations will respond to the same drugs.
Medical Xpress / Chemical compound holds potential against Alzheimer's disease
A team of researchers at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC) in Brazil has developed a new chemical compound with the potential to treat Alzheimer's disease. The research involved computer simulations (in silico), cell ...
Tech Xplore / Humidity unlocks hidden power of ions in generating static electricity
Professor Dong-Myeong Shin and his team from the Department of Mechanical Engineering under the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) shed light on the contribution of ions in electric charge transfer, ...
Phys.org / Ultrafast light-driven electron slide discovered
When an intense laser pulse hits a stationary electron, it performs a trembling motion at the frequency of the light field. However, this motion dies down after the pulse, and the electron comes to rest again at its original ...
Phys.org / Cow cells defy aging, opening the door to affordable lab-grown beef
A new study shows, for the first time, that cow cells can naturally become immortal—continuing to divide indefinitely without genetic modification or any abnormal transformation. This overturns long-held assumptions that ...
Phys.org / First confirmed coronal mass ejection spotted on a star beyond the sun
Astronomers using the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton space observatory and the LOFAR telescope have definitively spotted an explosive burst of material thrown out into space by another star—a burst powerful enough to ...
Phys.org / Hidden Arctic leaks: Natural seepage of oil and gas uncovered off Northeast Greenland
A large research study by an international team of scientists led by Christoph Böttner from Aarhus University shows clear evidence of extensive natural hydrocarbon seepage along the Northeast Greenland margin—one of the ...
Phys.org / Computational process could condense decades of disease biology research into days
At 10 one-millionths of a meter wide, a single human cell is tiny. But something even smaller exerts an enormous influence on everything a cell does: proton concentration, or pH. On the microscopic level, pH-dependent structures ...
Phys.org / Fossil fuel CO₂ emissions hit record high in 2025
Global carbon emissions from fossil fuels are projected to rise by 1.1% in 2025—reaching a record high, according to new research by the Global Carbon Project.
Medical Xpress / Experts recommend small changes for a healthier, more enjoyable holiday season
As the holiday season approaches, Pennington Biomedical Research Center is sharing tips and advice to help families enjoy their celebrations while feeling their best. Building on the Center's popular "Small Shifts" campaign, ...
Phys.org / Light pollution: The silent threat to the planet that's easily solved
New research has revealed for the first time the full extent of how "Artificial Light At Night" (ALAN) is increasing carbon released by plants and animals across continents—without any increase in the carbon they absorb. ...
