Phys.org / How a super El Niño could trigger global famine
Extreme heat and drought could damage harvests and worsen global food insecurity this summer.
Phys.org / Indian and Tibetan wolves reveal ancient lineages with unexpected genomic diversity
Wolves in India, like the pack that raised Mowgli in "The Jungle Book," can often feel disconnected from both the research and storytelling of wolves. Rice University professor Lauren Hennelly is working to change that. Her ...
Phys.org / Overfishing hits 11 of 12 Bahamian seafood staples, 73 years of catch data show
Most of the Bahamas' signature seafood stocks are being fished harder than the sea can replace them, according to a new paper led by Sea Around Us researchers and published in Frontiers in Marine Science.
Phys.org / Bilayer antiferromagnet reveals photocurrent that flips with magnetic state
In recent years, atomically thin materials—crystals only a few atoms thick—have attracted growing attention because they can exhibit physical properties that do not appear in conventional bulk materials. Among them, atomically ...
Science X / With fewer than 50 adults remaining, Rice's whales carry a secret record that could rewrite what survival looks like
Baleen plates serve as whale diaries, preserving years of hormonal data. A new study in the journal PLOS One shows that, with so few Rice's whales left, the hormones locked in those plates offer clues about the species' stress ...
Medical Xpress / A protective gel for a future without insulin injections
Researchers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) have reached a significant advance in the fight against type 1 diabetes. Using an innovative hydrogel that supports insulin-producing ...
Tech Xplore / Microcombs unlock 112 Gbps wireless link at 560 GHz for 6G
Researchers at Tokushima University have demonstrated single-channel wireless transmission at 112 Gbps in the 560 GHz band using soliton microcombs, marking a significant step toward next-generation 6G communications.
Tech Xplore / Should you accept internet cookies? Researchers say the open web could suffer without them
It's a choice you may face multiple times a day—and, at this point, your reaction is probably reflexive. Are you going to accept those internet cookies, reject them, or spend a little time customizing your settings?
Phys.org / How hidden viruses wake up inside seaweed and pass on to future generations
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen have shown that giant viruses long thought to exist only as fleeting, free-living particles that can embed themselves permanently in the genome of a multicellular ...
Medical Xpress / How chemotherapy can backfire: An immune shift tied to tumor resistance and poorer outcomes
Chemotherapy can be life-saving for many patients, but not all tumors respond—and some that do, may eventually become resistant. Investigators at Houston Methodist have identified a possible explanation for this resistance, ...
Phys.org / How Himalayan storms humidify the upper atmosphere
A recent study published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences has uncovered a detailed mechanism through which intense storms over the Himalayas contribute to increasing moisture in the lower stratosphere—a layer of the atmosphere ...
Medical Xpress / Home sooner, recovering better: Redesigning hip and knee surgery
More than 200,000 hip and knee replacements are performed in the U.K. every year. They are usually performed only when conservative treatments such as physiotherapy, weight loss, and medications are no longer effective. The ...
