Phys.org / Microwave carrots, air-fry tomatoes: Researchers identify sustainable cooking methods for better nutrition
Researchers at the University of Seville's Food Color and Quality Laboratory have studied the effects of different cooking methods used for tomatoes and carrots (in the oven, microwave or air fryer, among others) on the amount ...
Phys.org / Physicists create laser tornado in miniature structures using synthetic magnetic field
Can light behave like a whirlwind? It turns out it can—and such "optical tornadoes" have now been created in an extremely small structure by scientists from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw, the Military ...
Phys.org / A stranded whale in Germany's Baltic Sea weakens as hopes of its return to the Atlantic fade
A stranded humpback whale in Germany 's Baltic Sea looks weaker, and experts fear it won't be able to find its way back to the Atlantic despite several attempts at its rescue this week.
Phys.org / Alaska analysis shows continued loss of Arctic landfast sea ice
Sea ice is sticking to Alaska's northern coast for less time each year, according to 27 years of data analyzed by University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists. Such landfast ice, which stays attached to the shoreline instead ...
Phys.org / How archaeology is preserving evidence of the Yahidne war crime
Archaeology is not just a powerful tool for revealing insights into the ancient past, but it can also be applied to more recent events. In a new paper published in the journal Antiquity, scientists reveal how archaeological ...
Phys.org / Climate change is altering Saharan dust—and Europe is downwind
In recent years, residents of Spain, France and the UK have looked up to see an eerie sight: deep orange sunrises and skies thick with a yellowish haze. These hazy skies often deposit "blood rain," rust-colored precipitation ...
Phys.org / Distant galaxy fades 20-fold in just two decades, challenging how supermassive black holes evolve
An international team led by a researcher at the Chiba Institute of Technology has discovered an extremely rare phenomenon: a galaxy about 10 billion light-years away whose brightness dropped to one-twentieth of its original ...
Phys.org / Ancient alphabets, new insights: Researchers uncover hidden links among the letters
With artificial intelligence (AI) as an essential tool, San Diego State University researchers have discovered surprising similarities among ancient writing systems from Africa and the Caucasus region of Eurasia. Their study ...
Phys.org / Study in search of a tropical spring is first to show some birds flip their breeding season in response to climate
In 2014, Felicity Newell joined the Florida Museum of Natural History as a doctoral student, then promptly left the country in search of a tropical spring. It's a concept she started thinking about while doing biological ...
Phys.org / In world first, antimatter taken on test drive at CERN
CERN scientists on Tuesday pulled off the unprecedented feat of transporting antiprotons by road, successfully test-driving the world's first antimatter delivery system, with an eye to one day supplying research labs across ...
Phys.org / Importing queen bees won't solve Canada's beekeeping problems
Every spring, Canadian beekeepers await the arrival of queen bees crucial to their industry. The queens that populate Canadian bee colonies through the season largely do not come from Canada at all.
Phys.org / The JWST finds more overmassive black holes. This time in dwarf galaxies
One of the things astronomers find when they look around at galaxies is a correlation between a galaxy's mass and the mass of its supermassive black hole. Contrary to popular belief, these SMBH don't anchor their galaxies; ...
