Tech Xplore / This specially-designed jacket pulls drinking water from thin air
Engineers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a jacket that harvests drinking water directly from the air. The technology could benefit anyone who spends a lot of time in areas without easy access to drinking ...
Medical Xpress / Endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in breast milk and infant urine up to age 6 months
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that interfere with hormones were found in breast milk and in the urine of children from birth up to 6 months, according to a study presented at ENDO 2026, the Endocrine Society's annual ...
Medical Xpress / Retinal cell subgroups may unlock more effective transplants for blindness
A new understanding of retinal cell development may help pave the way for future retina transplants, which could restore sight to people whose conditions currently have no effective treatments, according to researchers at ...
Tech Xplore / Water locked in 1-nanometer channels could enable safer energy storage
Can pure water store electrical energy? A research team led by Dr. Vasily Artemov within the Cluster of Excellence "BlueMat—Water-Driven Materials" at Hamburg University of Technology has now shown that it can. By confining ...
Phys.org / Odds climb for record El Niño as 75% of models predict 2.5C warming
Europe's Copernicus Climate Change Service on Wednesday said global forecasters were increasingly confident that a very strong El Niño warming weather pattern could form later this year.
Phys.org / Galaxy-killing wind discovered in the early universe
Astronomers have discovered a "galaxy-killing wind" that may explain why there are far more massive "dead" galaxies than expected in the early universe. This wind, powered by cosmic collisions between galaxies, could quickly ...
Phys.org / 'Basketball Mathematics' help children boost math skills without extra class time
A dribble and a jump shot, followed by a fractions task. That is what physical education classes looked like for a group of pupils, and the pupils not only found the lessons more engaging than usual—they also became better ...
Phys.org / AI fast-forwards molecular simulations by 10,000-fold
A new AI model has become so good at predicting how molecules evolve over time that, in the future, it could speed up the costly and time-consuming process of testing new drugs. In the long term, this technology could facilitate ...
Phys.org / AI tracks missing hydrogen atoms in crystals with 97% success rate
Artificial intelligence is often used to generate images. In research, specialized AI models are used for scientific applications—for example, to predict the positions of atoms in materials. The MatterGen model developed ...
Phys.org / Antiviral soil compound disrupts phage infection cycle before viruses can reproduce
Bacteria also produce molecules that have an antiviral effect. Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and Jülich Research Center (FZJ) have examined the antiviral molecule daunorubicin and decoded its ...
Phys.org / Hurricane rainfall and landslide risk are on the rise in Southern California
Climate change could make historically rare tropical storms in Southern California produce significantly more precipitation in the next few decades, and when they strike, landslides are likely to become a bigger risk across ...
Medical Xpress / Sleepy mice forget who they have met, but an asthma drug brings it all back
Anyone who has had a bad night knows that they can feel "foggy" the next day. This fogginess may extend to our memory: remembering where we went, who we met or what happened during the encounter. Neuroscientist Robbert Havekes ...
