Phys.org / Hubble reveals Crab Nebula filaments racing outward at 3.4 million mph
This observation from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, released on March 23, 2026, gives an unparalleled, detailed look at the aftermath of a supernova and how it has evolved over the telescope's long lifetime.
Phys.org / Stem cell embryo model grows yolk sac without hypoblasts or gene editing
For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like structure, from a single starting stem cell population and without direct genetic manipulation. The models ...
Phys.org / The way primates parent their young shows how strict labels like parenting styles miss the mark
Whether you've sought them out or not, you've probably encountered parenting content creators on social media at some point in the last two decades.
Phys.org / Plastic texturing kills viruses when they land
Researchers have developed a thin plastic film that tears apart viruses on contact, offering a promising new way to keep high-touch surfaces such as smartphones and hospital equipment from spreading disease. The innovation ...
Medical Xpress / Do drugs that similarly combat a disease have differing effects on quality of life?
A study published in Rheumatology & Autoimmunity challenges the assumption that achieving clinical remission in rheumatoid arthritis is sufficient, showing that patient-reported outcomes vary significantly by drug class even ...
Phys.org / Prototype thermal memory stores heat states with tiny voltages for days
Heat is a ubiquitous form of energy that, unlike others, is notoriously difficult to store due to its natural tendency to dissipate. While this property is essential for phenomena like solar energy reaching Earth, it also ...
Phys.org / Hurricanes devastated Florida's East Coast. Then seagrass made an unexpected comeback
Florida's Indian River Lagoon has been an ecosystem in decline going back to 2011, when harmful algal blooms led to a severe decline in seagrass, the foundational component of shallow coastal ecosystems.
Phys.org / Connected habitats help frogs keep protective microbes and curb deadly fungus
Maintaining connections between natural habitats may support beneficial microbes that help wildlife defend against disease. In a new study of tropical amphibians, a team led by Penn State biologists found that amphibians ...
Phys.org / Scientists capture superconductivity's 'dancing pairs' for first time, revealing missing pieces in a decades-old theory
For the first time, scientists have directly imaged the quantum process underlying superconductivity, a phenomenon in which paired electrons cause electric current to flow without resistance at sufficiently low temperatures. ...
Tech Xplore / North Korean hackers suspected of $300 mn crypto heist
A notorious North Korean hacking group is likely behind the theft of nearly $300 million in cryptocurrency over the weekend, an affected party has said, in the biggest known crypto heist this year.
Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's drugs offer little benefit, major review finds. And the reasons go deeper than the science
How is it possible to spend tens of billions of dollars developing drugs to treat a serious disease that affects millions of people, and yet end up with something that does not work? This is a mystery that has bedeviled Alzheimer's ...
Phys.org / Screen-driven schooling is rewiring how students think, read, write and learn
In the 2022/2023 academic year, according to figures from the Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Sports, 92% of public secondary schools in Spain had virtual learning environments that students could access with ...
