Pizza, pastries and parfaits are staples in many school cafeterias. But new research from the University of Mississippi and the University of Southern Mississippi suggests some of students' favorite meals may contain more ...
Phys.org / Ancestral variation, not new mutations, may impact survival of species facing climate change
Research co-authored by an Oklahoma Museum of Natural History curator, her graduate student and an international team of scientists has shed new light on the evolutionary "toolkit" animals use to survive environmental change.
Phys.org / Brain-inspired nanopore device uses current-induced heating for memory operations
Some researchers are leaning into biology for inspiration in computing. In particular, neuromorphic computing offers a brain-inspired approach to hardware that replaces traditional binary processing with systems that function ...
Medical Xpress / Nearly all countries overuse powerful antibiotics, global study finds
Certain antibiotics are overused in most countries, while too few people receive the specific antibiotic treatments they need, according to a study of antibiotic use across 186 countries published in The Lancet Public Health ...
Phys.org / 2% minimum tax on richest households could raise £10 billion
Introducing a 2% minimum annual tax on households with more than £100 million in wealth could raise around £10 billion in 2026, while affecting fewer than 1,000 households in the UK, suggests a report by academics at King's ...
Medical Xpress / Daylight saving time may leave a surprising trace in the eye's smallest blood vessels each spring
For the first time, Northwestern Medicine scientists have detailed how fall and spring daylight saving time transitions affect a person's risk of developing retinal vascular disease. The study is published in Scientific Reports.
Phys.org / Molecules stop carbon nanotubes clumping, unlocking record heat-to-electricity performance
QUT researchers have overcome a challenge that has limited next-generation energy-harvesting materials for more than two decades, opening the door to more powerful wearable electronics and new ways of turning wasted heat ...
Phys.org / What explains gender pay gaps in academia?
Gender pay gaps in academia are well documented. The harder question is why they persist. A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences tested several leading answers to that question.
Tech Xplore / Hybrid-electric aircraft clears 30,000 feet for first time in test flights
An aircraft powered by a megawatt-class hybrid-electric engine developed in collaboration with NASA and built by GE Aerospace, demonstrated flight of an innovation that can inform new generations of fuel-saving aircraft power ...
Phys.org / Arctic winter sea ice returns to significant decline, ending the temporary slowdown
New analysis shows that a "pause" in Arctic winter sea ice decline seen in the early 2020s has ended following record lows in 2025 and early 2026. The study, led by the University of Southampton in collaboration with the ...
Phys.org / Green LED light could help keep leafy greens fresher longer, study suggests
Low-intensity green lighting in refrigerated storage can slow spoilage in leafy greens, helping maintain their appearance and nutritional value, according to a new study from McGill University. The research, published in ...
Phys.org / Deep-space CubeSat could stretch solar storm warnings from 15 minutes to 3 hours
Space weather warnings could be received hours before Earth is hit rather than minutes with the help of a miniature UK-built instrument soon to be stationed in deep space. MAGIC (MAGnetometer from Imperial College) is part ...
