Medical Xpress / Efforts to understand the nation's drugged driving problem stall under Trump
Two state transportation workers were replacing a sign on the shoulder of U.S. Highway 6 in western Colorado one morning when a Jeep Grand Cherokee swerved off the road and struck them.
Phys.org / Supernova dust may be behind one of JWST's biggest puzzles
Astronomers may have found an explanation for one of the biggest mysteries revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): why so many galaxies in the early universe appear unexpectedly bright in ultraviolet light. The ...
Phys.org / New insights into how the human hand evolved from our ape-like ancestors
The human hand is an evolutionary marvel. While other primates rely on their hands for locomotion and basic grasping, ours can shape tools, manipulate objects, and perform detailed tasks requiring great dexterity and precision. ...
Medical Xpress / New study could improve testing and treatment for rare brain, spinal cord, and eye cancers
A new study has identified hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1 (HAVCR1) as a biomarker that could make it easier to diagnose rare but aggressive forms of brain and eye cancer earlier and with fewer invasive tests.
Phys.org / New kind of dark tourism emerging in online 'Backrooms,' study shows
Digital culture is reshaping people's experiences of fear, curiosity and belonging, according to new findings from Lancaster University. Researchers have explored why online environments like the "Backrooms"—mysterious empty ...
Phys.org / Why the intrinsic quantum effects of axion dark matter are completely undetectable
Dark matter is an elusive form of matter that almost never emits, absorbs or reflects light, while only weakly interacting with regular matter. These properties make it very difficult to detect using conventional experimental ...
Phys.org / Lost elephant calf reunites with family after researchers track herd across Samburu reserve
Colorado State University Professor George Wittemyer and his research team reunited a 4-month-old elephant calf with her family after she wandered into a tourist camp alone. The orphaned elephant calf was disoriented from ...
Phys.org / Black holes may avoid singularities when charge and Hawking radiation combine, theoretical physicist argues
Black holes are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, even light, can escape. Einstein's theory of general relativity breaks down inside black holes, either by the presence of a so-called "curvature singularity" ...
Tech Xplore / SIGN/e: Writing music with moving shapes and colors
How can electronic music best be scored, music that's made not from staves, clefs and notes on the page but by physical gestures like turning a dial on a console or sweeping a hand across a synthesizer? And if that music ...
Phys.org / NASA's Fermi glimpses power source of supercharged supernovae
LSU researchers helped uncover what may be the first clear detection of gamma rays from a superluminous supernova, using data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope—a breakthrough that offers new insight into the powerful ...
Phys.org / Earth's outer core beneath Pacific reversed direction in 2010, satellite data reveal
The liquid iron in Earth's outer core doesn't always behave as expected. When it changed direction in an unexplained way, ESA satellites provided data on the direction of flow, helping scientists gain better insight into ...
Phys.org / AI makes a major breakthrough in a math problem that had stumped experts for decades
For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the planar unit distance problem. The question posed by the legendary Hungarian mathematician was, on ...
