Medical Xpress / Public education key in new cervical cancer screening
As Canada moves to modernize cervical cancer screening, a new study suggests most women do not yet understand or trust the shift from the Pap test to human papillomavirus (HPV) based screening. The national survey, published ...
Phys.org / Climate scientist finds large errors in a global climate pollution database
New research from Northern Arizona University found that a global greenhouse gas emissions database produced by the Climate TRACE consortium, co-founded by former Vice President Al Gore, is underestimating vehicle carbon ...
Phys.org / Testing quantum collapse theory with the XENONnT dark matter detector
Theories of quantum mechanics predict that some particles can exist in superpositions, which essentially means that they can be in more than one state at once. When a particle's state is measured, however, this superposition ...
Phys.org / Antarctica sea ice collapse driven by triple whammy of climate chaos, scientists find
Antarctica is being ravaged by a triple-whammy of climate chaos that has melted sea ice to record lows, a new study has revealed. For decades, the frozen wilderness at the bottom of the world defied global warming trends, ...
Phys.org / Ganymede's unique magnetic field may be powered by ongoing core formation—not a cooling core
Ganymede is not only Jupiter's largest moon, but also the largest in our solar system and one of the few that hosts a massive ice ocean. Adding to this planet-like moon's uniqueness is the fact that among the hundreds of ...
Tech Xplore / Contact between 2D and 3D perovskites reshapes crystal order, lifting efficiency to 26.25%
Perovskites, a class of material with a characteristic crystal structure that can convert light into electricity, have proved to be promising for the development of more affordable, flexible, and efficient solar cells than ...
Phys.org / Why twisted bilayer graphene stops superconducting near high-dielectric substrates
Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with a resistance of zero. In so-called conventional superconductors, this occurs at low temperatures when electrons become bound into pairs, known as Cooper pairs.
Phys.org / Ultrahigh-energy cosmic messengers may carry ultraheavy secrets
There may be an ultraheavy explanation for the mystery surrounding the origins of the highest-energy particles ever observed. Ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays are particles from space that strike Earth with energies far beyond ...
Phys.org / Artificial intelligence may accelerate the path to radicalization
How are ordinary people drawn into extremist circles—and what role can artificial intelligence play in that process? This question is addressed by a new study which, for the first time, combines psychological theories of ...
Medical Xpress / Over half of parents in England are pestered by their children to buy junk food while food shopping, survey suggests
A study using a nationally representative survey of parents in England, presented at the European Congress on Obesity (ECO 2026, Istanbul, Turkey, 12–15 May), reveals that over half (58%) of parents are frequently pestered ...
Science X / Think your gaze is steady? Think again. (And thank your wobbly eyes for sight)
Try to focus on one thing, and your eyes will keep moving around very slightly, even if you think you're holding them still. Such movements are called "fixational eye movements" (FEMs). Scientists have been trying to determine ...
Phys.org / Northern Sri Lanka's oldest confirmed settlement reshapes what archaeologists thought about early island life
A study published in the Journal of Island and Coastal Archaeology has identified the earliest evidence of prehistoric occupation by island dwellers of northern Sri Lanka. Long thought to be unsuitable for human occupation ...
