Phys.org / Researchers track mineral growth on bioorganic coatings in real time at nanoscale
Materials that encourage mineralization, mimicking the process in the human body, are becoming increasingly important in medicine and technology. This process, which occurs at the interface between inorganic materials and ...
Phys.org / Plant mitochondria actively pull oxygen from chloroplasts, researchers discover
A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant mitochondria draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts, an interaction not previously documented. The discovery sheds new light on how plants regulate oxygen ...
Phys.org / High-resolution ocean models better capture Atlantic-driven European heat waves
Europe is struggling more and more with extreme heat in the summer. While climate change is the main reason for this increase, what specific physical mechanisms cause a heat wave? One important driver of weather conditions ...
Tech Xplore / French AI startup AMI announces $1 bn raised in funding

Tech Xplore / How AI could end online anonymity
The internet is rife with anonymous accounts as users adopt pseudonyms, sometimes for genuine reasons like speaking freely, and other times for nefarious ones. But this era of online privacy could be coming to a close. In ...
Phys.org / Heat-tolerant corals may help some reefs persist, but most still erode
A recent report on global tipping points warned that coral reefs face widespread dieback and have reached a point from which they cannot recover.
Medical Xpress / FDA finds little evidence that a generic drug can help people with autism
The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday approved a generic medication for a rare brain disorder, while walking back statements by President Donald Trump and other administration officials that the drug showed great promise ...
Phys.org / Most compact quadruple star system yet fits within an area the size of Jupiter's orbit
Astronomers have reported observations of a rare star system consisting of one star orbiting a system of three more tightly bound stars. This quadruple star system is described in a new study, published in Nature Communications, ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover TOI-5734 b, a hot sub-Neptune twice Earth's size
Using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher for the Northern Hemisphere (HARPS-N), an international team of astronomers has discovered a hot sub-Neptune exoplanet ...
Phys.org / Study reveals new technique to identify individual night-flying birds for the first time
Millions of birds invisibly migrate through the night sky each autumn, most flying in near silence toward their wintering grounds. Now, scientists have developed a way to see and identify many of those birds for the first ...
Medical Xpress / Mouse brain study reveals why blockbuster weight-loss drugs may work differently in females and males
The drugs have names that sound like small planets: semaglutide, liraglutide, lixisenatide. Collectively, they belong to a class of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogs that has reshaped the treatment of obesity and diabetes ...
Phys.org / Veterinarians in Japan and the UK view animal welfare through different cultural lenses
A new international survey reveals clear differences in how veterinarians and animal welfare scientists in Japan and the UK perceive animal welfare, particularly animal behavior. The findings are published in the journal ...
