Phys.org / Scientists detect new climate pattern in the tropics
Tropical cyclones can unleash extensive devastation, as recent storms that swept over Jamaica and the Philippines made unmistakably clear. Accurate weather forecasts that buy more time to prepare are crucial for saving lives ...
Medical Xpress / 'Mental model' approach can reduce misconceptions about mRNA vaccination
In two experiments, researchers have found that introducing people to "mental models" about how mRNA vaccination works and how the body protects itself from foreign DNA can preemptively or reactively protect against misconceptions ...
Phys.org / Tectonic regimes of terrestrial planets could explain Earth and Venus's divergence
An international team has made a significant breakthrough in understanding the tectonic evolution of terrestrial planets. Using advanced numerical models, the team systematically classified for the first time six distinct ...
Phys.org / Malaria parasites move along right-handed helices to navigate host tissues, research reveals
With victims numbering in the millions, malaria is an infectious disease caused by the bite of a mosquito carrying the malaria parasite. After penetrating the skin, the pathogen moves with helical trajectories. It almost ...
Phys.org / Sloshing ferrofluids harness vibration energy: A new spin on powering tomorrow's wearables and IoT
Modern devices, from fitness trackers and smart garments to Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, require compact and sustainable power sources. In new research published in Scientific Reports, scientists present an energy harvester ...
Phys.org / Ancient seafloor lava rubble stores vast amounts of carbon dioxide, researchers discover
Sixty-million-year-old rock samples from deep under the ocean have revealed how huge amounts of carbon dioxide are stored for millennia in piles of lava rubble that accumulate on the seafloor.
Medical Xpress / One in two people in the US is affected by a neurological disease or disorder, analysis shows
One in two people in the United States, just over half of the population, is affected by a neurological disease or disorder, according to a new systematic analysis by the American Academy of Neurology and the Institute for ...
Phys.org / New CO₂ conversion system slashes energy use and triples formic acid production
A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a novel electrochemical system that converts carbon dioxide (CO₂), a major contributor to climate change, into high-value chemical products, like formic acid. This new ...
Medical Xpress / Automated system enables real-time malignancy grading of prostate tumors
The precise identification of tumor boundaries during radical prostatectomy remains a major clinical challenge. As positive surgical margins occur in 15–40% of prostate cancer cases, the risk of postoperative recurrence ...
Tech Xplore / AI tool helps visually impaired users 'feel' where objects are in real time
Over the last few years, systems and applications that help visually impaired people navigate their environment have undergone rapid development, but still have room to grow, according to a team of researchers at Penn State. ...
Phys.org / Scientists unveil mechanism behind greener ammonia production
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have revealed how a catalyst in a promising chemical reaction for industry helps make ammonia, a major ingredient in fertilizer. Copper oxide is a key catalyst in the electrochemical ...
Tech Xplore / The gift that keeps on giving: How solar panels on farms can help increase crop yields
Solar farm projects in the Canadian province of Alberta have been put on hold or canceled because of a recent increase in regulations in the province. The new regulations ban solar panels from agricultural land and force ...
