Medical Xpress / Scientists uncover shared biology behind profound fatigue in five major illnesses
A shared biological mechanism that helps explain chronic exhaustion in conditions including long COVID and PTSD has been identified by researchers at the University of East Anglia and Oxford BioDynamics. The paper, published ...
Medical Xpress / Brain scans reveal new link between progesterone and women's mood
The influence of the hormone progesterone on mood is well known. Now, researchers from the University of Barcelona have shown how higher levels of progesterone during the menstrual cycle are linked to less distinct patterns ...
Phys.org / Animal-bone records reveal how cattle and sheep fueled medieval England's changing economy
As populations expanded in medieval England, key changes occurred in the uses of cattle and sheep to produce food and materials, according to a study published Sept. 2, 2026, in the journal PLOS One by Matilda Holmes of the ...
Phys.org / AI automates the creation of custom functional materials atom by atom
Imagine a construction site where the bricks are individual molecules and the "cranes" are microscopic needles so sharp they can feel a single atom. For decades, building at this scale was a laborious, time-consuming task ...
Phys.org / Pacific islands to face food shortages due to global warming: Scientists
The Pacific islands will face food shortages, and drinking water will be affected by rising seas, scientists said Wednesday, as a U.N. report found the world would fail to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
Phys.org / New nanostructure makes non-linear light conversion 72,000 times more efficient
Researchers from Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), Harvard and the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) have developed an innovative method for coupling light non-linearly. This opens up new possibilities for ...
Tech Xplore / Two molecules work together to seal microscopic gaps in perovskite solar cells
A research team has developed a dual-molecule passivation technology that simultaneously improves the efficiency and stability of inverted perovskite solar cells. The research is published in the journal ACS Applied Materials ...
Medical Xpress / Fertility may drive a woman's desire for luxury
Hormonal fluctuations associated with fertility are associated with a greater tendency for women to use conspicuous luxury symbols, potentially to be noticed by men, according to a study published in PLOS One by Aekyoung ...
Tech Xplore / Why did your robotaxi stop? New system helps predict self-driving car mistakes
Self-driving cars are often controlled by deep learning models that sometimes fail in unexpected situations. For instance, the car might inexplicably brake and block the path of an oncoming emergency vehicle. A human driver ...
Phys.org / Trapped light generates nanoscale magnetization
Using an engineered metasurface that traps light, Cornell researchers have demonstrated a new way to generate strong static magnetic fields without using external magnets or magnetic materials—an approach that could advance ...
Phys.org / Hawai'i high school students name image of glittering galaxy pair
Nā ʻUhane Māhoe Huki Pū i ke Ola is the Hawaiian name given to NGC 7253—a pair of spiral galaxies caught in each other's gravity. Captured by the Gemini North telescope on Maunakea in Hawai'i, the image created a spectacular ...
Phys.org / Young sunlike system reveals comets may carry water toward forming planets
Astronomers at Lund University in Sweden have found evidence of exocomets—comets in other solar systems—orbiting a young star similar to our sun. The observations point to a possible mechanism for how water might be transported ...
