Phys.org / More evidence Mars once had water emerges from old Spirit rover data
More than 20 years after NASA's Spirit rover landed on Mars, a researcher from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has uncovered new evidence that suggests water may once have covered large parts of the red planet.
Phys.org / New research shows how 'hot electrons' can reshape metals in billionths of a second
Researchers at The University of Manchester have revealed how intense electronic excitation can trigger rapid structural changes in metals—without heating the atomic lattice—offering new insight into ultrafast materials behavior.
Phys.org / More green space alone won't beat urban heat
New research from Victoria University (VU) reveals that reducing the impact of extreme heat in urban areas requires more than simply adding green spaces—it requires a different approach to urban planning.
Phys.org / AI models explain 17% of earnings-day stock moves, up from 5%
To explain the stock market's reaction to earnings results, investors and other market participants have used a standard tool for decades: the earnings surprise.
Phys.org / A way to read quantum bits faster and with less hardware
Quantum computers process information in a fundamentally different way from conventional computers, using quantum bits, or qubits, that can exist in multiple states at once. This could allow them to tackle problems beyond ...

Medical Xpress / Cyclosporiasis sickens some people worse—why your diarrhea could be more explosive than others
As you may have seen in news headlines or social media memes, there's explosive diarrhea going around. Understanding how the immune system responds to the parasite that causes the unfortunate disease called cyclosporiasis ...
Phys.org / Similarity between human and bovine cells could advance drug discovery
Apoptosis is the natural process by which damaged or no longer needed cells are eliminated from the body. Researchers have long investigated how this mechanism might be manipulated to treat cancer and other serious diseases.
Phys.org / Fossil footprints reveal body size and group dynamics of 1.4-million-year-old human relative
Ancient footprints preserved along the shores of Kenya's Lake Turkana are reshaping scientists' understanding of one of humanity's extinct relatives. A paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences describes ...
Tech Xplore / Computer scientists design a cyberattack to prevent cyberattacks
Protecting sensitive, precision-timed computing systems requires understanding the nature of cyberthreats. So researchers from Washington State University teamed up with experts at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs ...
Medical Xpress / Minutes-long process could create custom blood vessel grafts during surgery
Traumatic injuries, whether on a battlefield or in a car accident, often involve damaged blood vessels that require immediate repair. New research from Harvard bioengineers aims to make these critical, time-sensitive medical ...
Phys.org / Record snow drought drives water-hauling crisis for Rocky Mountain ranchers
As water shot into an open stock tank atop a high-country mesa, a trickle soaked the dusty earth below. Scott Snyder rose from the shade to fasten a hose and stop the spillage.
