Phys.org / Researchers ask us to rethink the ways we see and study the Arctic
The Arctic and sub-Arctic are places where communities already live, produce knowledge and self-govern. Yet recent geopolitical and economic involvement are bringing renewed interest in the region.
Phys.org / Ribosome tunnel interactions reveal how bacteria can pause protein production
How do bacteria regulate the production of their proteins? Researchers at the University of Hamburg, in collaboration with international partners, have now demonstrated how small protein building blocks, known as peptides, ...
Phys.org / Achiral crystal reveals Raman optical activity through ferroaxial order
Raman optical activity, long thought to require chiral molecules or magnetic order, has been demonstrated in an achiral, nonmagnetic crystal by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo. The effect arises through ferroaxial ...
Phys.org / Gleam-glum effect reveals emotional word cues in children as young as five
The words "tick-tock," "hiss" and "screech" are examples of onomatopoeia because they imitate the sounds they represent: the rhythmic ticking of a clock; an angry cat, or a slowly deflating bike tire; a high-pitched scream. ...

Phys.org / Costa Rica paid landowners to restore forests and biodiversity—bioacoustics indicate that it worked
Forest restoration can help fight climate change and restore lost biodiversity, but the satellite-based techniques used to measure successful forest restoration have been less-than-helpful for measuring changes in biodiversity. ...
Tech Xplore / Multinex: An ultra lightweight AI model advancing low light image enhancement
A University of Manchester student has developed a powerful new ultra-lightweight tool that can turn dark, noisy footage into clear, detailed and usable images. Multinex, a new model for low-light image enhancement (LLIE), ...
Phys.org / Football tracking data uncovers rival tactics beyond TV formations before 2026 World Cup
From June 11, countless millions of people will be following the football World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. They will discuss their team's performance, talk like experts about tactics and formations, and cower behind ...
Phys.org / Epigenetic changes can be inherited without changing DNA in animals
Typically, the information encoded in DNA allows organisms to develop, function, and pass traits across generations. Yet DNA alone does not explain how genes are switched on and off in different cells and environments. This ...
Phys.org / Lighter X-ray aprons could spare health care workers from chronic pain
A light, flexible polymer material developed at the University of Waterloo could replace the lead in heavy X-ray aprons, providing the same protection from harmful radiation while reducing their weight by almost 90%.
Medical Xpress / Depressive mood may sharpen self-judgment but blur social cues, analysis finds
Does a depressive mood inevitably lead to more pessimistic thinking or overanalyzing? A global meta-analysis, the largest of its kind to examine the relationship between a depressive mood and reality judgment, co-conducted ...
