Phys.org / New environmental performance index highlights sustainability gains, and the challenges ahead
European countries continue to lead the world in environmental performance, according to the 2026 Environmental Performance Index (EPI), a biennial assessment produced by researchers at the Yale Center for Environmental Law ...
Phys.org / Bones reveal ancient Egyptian princesses born 4,000 years ago used weapons
For decades, scientists have disputed the meaning of the weapons found in the burial chambers of some ancient Egyptian princesses. Were they symbolic or practical tools? Now, a reassessment of five royal women's mummies from ...
Science X / Ancient asteroid impact may explain Curiosity's first pure sulfur crystals on Mars
The bright yellow sulfur crystals discovered by NASA's Curiosity rover have puzzled scientists because sulfur on Mars is normally associated with mineral formations, not elemental deposits.
Medical Xpress / Unveiling treatment targets for slow breathing from fentanyl use
Fentanyl causes symptoms that can lead to death from overdose. One of these symptoms is slow breathing, which deprives drug users of oxygen. In new research in JNeurosci, Erica Levitt and colleagues from the University of ...
Phys.org / Australia's most diverse marsupial predators have been hiding their origins for millions of years
When you think of carnivorous marsupials, you probably picture the Tasmanian devil or perhaps a spotted-tailed quoll. But these famous predators are only the largest members of a remarkable family of marsupials called dasyurids.
Medical Xpress / Genetic study redefines a form of excessive sweating as a treatable neurological condition
An international research team led by Dr. Frank Bosmans (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) has discovered a major genetic cause of hyperhidrosis (chronic and excessive sweating). The study, published in Science Advances, provides ...
Phys.org / Single fission experiment maps excess gamma rays from more than a dozen unstable nuclei
In a single experiment, physicists have measured the "excess" emission of high-energy gamma rays from more than a dozen heavy, unstable atomic nuclei. Mapping the gamma-ray emissions of so many isotopes produced in nuclear ...
Tech Xplore / Tiny AI device takes on one of the world's deadliest killers
Kiran Trivedi, a University of Wollongong (UOW) academic, has developed a low-cost device that identifies disease-carrying mosquitoes by the sound of their wingbeats, offering a faster alternative to traditional surveillance ...
Science X / Could tomatoes protect brain cells? Scientists uncover an unexpected clue in a familiar kitchen staple
Envision a world where an ordinary part of your daily diet acts as a robust protector against one of humanity's most devastating neurological diseases. The search for effective treatments for conditions including Parkinson's ...
Phys.org / Prototype bicycle tire uses silk to outperform nylon in strength and endurance
Researchers in Thailand have developed a prototype high-performance bicycle tire that replaces conventional nylon fabric reinforcement with natural silk. The team combined laboratory-scale material testing with pilot-scale ...
Medical Xpress / Brain stimulation safely restores sense of touch for up to decade
What if people who have lost the ability to feel their hands could get that sense back—not through a prosthetic glove, but through tiny pulses of electricity delivered directly to the brain?
Medical Xpress / New mechanism explains how spinal stimulation improves arm movement after stroke
Researchers in the Neuromechatronics Lab at Carnegie Mellon University have already proven that spinal cord stimulation can help people regain movement after stroke, but until now they didn't quite know how.
