Phys.org / How Mars can help us understand 'marginal' exoplanets
Mars holds a special place in the solar system. It represents marginal habitability. This means it transitioned from warm and wet and potentially hospitable, to cold and dry and inhospitable.
Phys.org / When order gives way to chaos—the turbulent birth of magnetic nanovortices
Magnetic switching processes are considered a prime example of controllable physics at the nanometer scale: in certain thin-film systems, a short electrical current pulse is sufficient to reverse the magnetization in a targeted ...
Medical Xpress / Climate change‑related heat increases the risk of premature birth in 13 countries: New study
Picture a sweltering summer's day. Now imagine enduring the heat while eight months pregnant. Uncomfortable, to say the absolute least.
Phys.org / Something coming: what scientists know about a potential 'super' El Nino
Forecasters say a potentially "super" El Niño is rapidly taking shape in the Pacific—but whether it evolves into a history-making event could hinge on fickle winds and other volatile atmospheric shifts.
Tech Xplore / Pope Leo XIV compares AI to the Industrial Revolution, as new alternatives to big AI firms take shape

Tech Xplore / Three ways to avoid being fooled by AI slop
Global society makes billions of images and uploads hundreds of thousands of hours of video on the internet every day. The problem is, some of this content is misleading or downright wrong. And when it's in visual form, it ...
Phys.org / Climate change could significantly worsen summer air quality in future decades
Across the world, air pollution is associated with more early deaths than any other environmental exposure, raising risks of dying from lung cancer, respiratory infection, heart and lung disease and other causes.
