Phys.org / Chang'e-6 samples constrain lunar impact flux and illuminate early impact history
Scientists from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the CAS Aerospace Information Research Institute, and other institutions, have revised the decades-old lunar crater chronology ...
Phys.org / Study finds climate change set the stage for devastating wildfires in Argentina and Chile
Human-caused climate change had an important impact on the recent ferocious wildfires that engulfed parts of Chile and Argentina's Patagonia region, making the extremely high-risk conditions that led to widespread burning ...
Phys.org / Flipping and reversing mini-proteins could improve tuberculosis treatment
Antibiotic treatments are losing effectiveness against a range of common bacterial pathogens, including E. coli, K. pneumoniae, Salmonella and Acinetobacter, according to a warning issued by the World Health Organization ...
Tech Xplore / Why metal microstructures matter: AI pinpoints stress hotspots to guide safer designs
Metals are made of randomly oriented crystals at the microscopic-length scale. The alignment of the crystal faces creates an infinite number of configurations and complex patterns, making simulations of specific patterns ...
Phys.org / Researchers rebuild microscopic circadian clock that can control genes
Our circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being, keeping our 24-hour biological cycles in sync with light and dark exposure. Disruptions in the rhythms of these clocks, as with jet lag and daylight saving ...
Phys.org / Collaboration between universities and hospitals intensifies in times of crisis, finds study
Economic and public health conditions influence universities' research priorities. A study led by INGENIO, a joint research center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Universitat Politècnica de València ...
Phys.org / 'It ain't no unicorn': Meet the researchers who've interviewed 130 Bigfoot hunters
It was the image that launched a cultural icon. In 1967, in the northern Californian woods, a seven foot tall, ape-like creature covered in black fur and walking upright was captured on camera, at one point turning around ...
Phys.org / Vulcan rocket launch suffers fiery booster issue but makes it to space, company says
United Launch Alliance suffered yet another fiery burn-through on one of its solid rocket boosters during a national security mission Thursday.
Phys.org / AI model uses molecular energy to predict the most stable atom arrangements
Whether a smartphone battery lasts longer or a new drug can be developed to treat incurable diseases depends on how stably the atoms constituting the material are bonded. The core of molecular design lies in finding how to ...
Medical Xpress / Inactivity linked to up to 10% of type 2 diabetes complications
A lack of exercise drives a good portion of the health problems faced by people with type 2 diabetes, a new study says.
Phys.org / When water meets rock: Exploring water quality impacts from legacy lithium mining in North Carolina
Starting just outside Charlotte, North Carolina, a vast underground deposit of lithium stretches south for 25 miles. A key component of rechargeable batteries and energy grid storage systems, the soft, silvery metal is a ...
Phys.org / Breeding a better cucumber: New genetic map reveals 171,892 structural variants
Cucumber is an economically important crop worldwide, ranking as the third most-produced vegetable after tomatoes and onions. Yet breeding improved varieties—plants that are more resilient, produce better-shaped fruit, ...
