Phys.org / The network watching the world's oceans is under pressure—just when it's needed most
Increasingly, the world's oceans are telling us our climate system may be changing faster and more dramatically than expected.
Medical Xpress / An 'intelligent tattoo' to detect skin cancer before it appears
Detecting melanoma before it becomes visible is a major challenge in dermatology. Now, with researchers from Université de Montréal, scientists at Université du Québec's Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) ...
Phys.org / Megalibraries could reshape AI-driven materials discovery faster than self-driving labs
Scientists may soon stop hunting for new materials—and start designing them to order. For the first time, Northwestern University scientists have demonstrated that megalibraries—tools that dramatically accelerate materials ...
Phys.org / Remote fieldwork and museum collections reveal hidden pit viper diversity in High Asia
The high mountain ranges of Asia remain among the least biologically explored regions of the continent. Now, an international team of researchers has shown that one of their most elusive venomous snakes, long treated as a ...
Tech Xplore / Motion tracking system shows robots the path most traveled by, keeping them on task
There's a delicate art to teaching robots, even when you're preparing them for predictable environments like factories, where they'll repeat the same tasks a little differently depending on the obstacles they face. Whether ...
Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's-linked protein found to shape long-term memories
New research has uncovered how a protein strongly linked to Alzheimer's disease plays a critical role in forming long-lasting memories—opening up new directions for future dementia treatments.
Phys.org / Artists reconstruct extinct Sri Lankan megafauna
For animator and academic Dr. Jason Kennedy, palaeoart isn't just a hobby. Creating 3D images of prehistoric animals sits at the intersection of science and art, combining fossil analysis, comparisons with living species, ...
Phys.org / Tuning into quantum sounds: Acoustic devices simplify quantum sensors
When a singer belts out a tune while a guitar player strums along, sound waves travel through the air, driving collective oscillations of the molecules within. Meanwhile, at the quantum level, something similar is going on. ...
Medical Xpress / The enhanced games, or 'steroid Olympics', are on—they pose risks for athletes and viewers
The inaugural Enhanced Games are underway in Las Vegas and are set to be a unique spectacle that promotes drug-induced "enhancement." The International Olympic Committee has condemned the event as a way to "destroy any concept ...
Medical Xpress / Chronic liver disease in Europe: A preventable crisis going undetected
Europe is facing a growing chronic liver disease threat, according to a new series published in The Lancet Regional Health—Europe, that engaged more than 75 co-authors from 30 countries and was led by the Barcelona Institute ...
Phys.org / New maps show where European landscapes can advance climate and biodiversity goals together
Across Europe, many landscapes show strong potential to move forward climate mitigation, climate adaptation, and biodiversity benefits, with low socioeconomic risk, according to an analysis using a new climate-smart rewilding ...
Medical Xpress / Pulse oximeter bias linked to gaps in care for Black patients
Pulse oximeter devices routinely overestimate blood oxygen levels in darker-skinned patients—a racial bias that can trigger downstream health harms for Black individuals, compounding well beyond any single inaccurate reading.
