Phys.org / JWST study suggests a handful of 'leaky' galaxies reionized the early universe
A new study analyzing the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) spectra of more than 1,400 galaxies suggests a surprisingly small group of "leaky" galaxies was responsible for cosmic reionization. The paper outlining this work ...
Phys.org / How to spot the Perseid meteor shower, a summer light show that promises to dazzle
The Perseid summer light show is back—and viewing conditions are especially promising for the Northern Hemisphere.
Tech Xplore / Electronic skin enables tunable touch and proximity sensing for robots and prosthetics
Recent advances in miniaturized and portable electronics, particularly wearable and flexible devices, have increased the demand for self-powered sensing technologies. Among these, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have ...
Medical Xpress / Solving a mysterious inflammatory fever opens the book on a much bigger story
Three research teams working independently around the world have landed on the same discovery: A single molecular "handshake" inside our cells controls a family of inflammatory diseases, including one of the most common inherited ...
Phys.org / Corn-stalk sugars feed new bacterial strain designed to make useful chemicals
Engineers have developed a strain of a common bacterial species that can feed exclusively on the three major sugars present in corn stalks. While the new multiple-sugar-consuming strain of the bacterium Pseudomonas putida ...
Medical Xpress / Traditional prostate cancer risk factors do not predict hormone therapy benefit, study finds
A new study led by investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found that while traditional pathological features used to classify aggressive prostate cancer—such as high-grade disease, cancer extending ...
Phys.org / Marine heat waves pose hidden threat to human health, researchers warn
The devastating impacts of marine heat waves extend far beyond dying coral reefs and declining fisheries, with new research warning that these extreme ocean-warming events pose a growing threat to human physical and mental ...
Tech Xplore / AI and electrolyte engineering open new paths for better batteries
Cornell researchers are using artificial intelligence to speed the search for better battery materials while using a creative approach to chemistry to expand the design space for electrolytes, unlocking new possibilities ...
Phys.org / Sorting potatoes with AI
Karevo's AI-powered optical recognition system can sort up to 10 tons of potatoes per hour with 95% accuracy. The founder's journey took him from a potato farm to the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and ultimately to ...
Phys.org / Climate debate remains dominated by established voices despite social media, research finds
When social media arrived on the scene, there were high hopes that they would improve—or even "democratize"—communication about climate change by, for instance, lowering access barriers, creating a more direct channel between ...
Phys.org / Researchers create early warning system to monitor housing evictions
Human service organizations play an important role in connecting people to housing, health care, food access and other essential services. Yet forecasting community needs can be difficult in times of rapid change or crisis ...
Phys.org / As New World screwworm returns to the US, a new dashboard tracks the risk
In the 1950s, the New World screwworm cost U.S. livestock producers tens of millions of dollars a year, reaching $50 million to $100 million annually in the hardest-hit Southwest, before it was eradicated from the United ...
