Phys.org / Artemis II moonshot commander and pilot are hanging up their astronaut suits at NASA
The two NASA astronauts who led the Artemis II moonshot earlier this year are stepping away from spaceflight.
Medical Xpress / Snakebites kill tens of thousands every year, could our new research change that?
Every year, between 80,000 and 140,000 people die from snakebites worldwide. Hundreds of thousands more are left with amputated limbs or permanent disabilities.
Phys.org / Physics-based AI unlocks first global predictions of carbon cycling in ocean sediments
Researchers at The University of Manchester have developed a new physics-based artificial intelligence approach that, for the first time, enables accurate global-scale predictions of how dissolved organic carbon moves between ...
Phys.org / First Nations ranger knowledge reveals the threats facing NT's green turtles
First Nations ranger groups working in protected areas such as national or marine parks have identified illegal commercial fishing as a major concern for the Northern Territory's green turtle populations, a study led by Charles ...
Medical Xpress / Sitting on Japanese tatami mats may reduce anxiety and support task engagement
Researchers at Kyushu University, publishing in the journal Scientific Reports, found that using mats made from Japanese Igusa, or rush grass, was associated with increased activity in regions of the brain related to concentration ...
Medical Xpress / Combination therapy may improve immune response against advanced prostate cancer
Combining the targeted therapy olaparib with an additional immunotherapy may improve immune response in a subgroup of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who responded poorly to initial treatment, ...
Dialog / A black hole as light as 40 tons can exist inside a star if dark matter helps
In 1974, Stephen Hawking made a prediction that transformed our understanding of black holes. Black holes, he showed, are not truly black: They slowly lose energy through a quantum process now known as Hawking radiation. ...
Phys.org / Veterinarian outlines practical steps to protect pets from bird flu
As a veterinarian who studies infectious diseases in cats, I've been repeatedly asked whether Australia's outbreak of the H5 bird flu poses a risk to pets. The short answer is yes.
Phys.org / Tiny molecular rings open new ways for designing better medicines
Cyclopropanes are organic chemistry's smallest rings. Three carbon atoms are joined in a triangle, creating a compact and unusually strained structure. Despite—or partly because of—this unusual geometry, cyclopropanes are ...
Phys.org / Muscovite identified as a low-index building block for ultrathin van der Waals photonic components
Researchers have demonstrated that a naturally occurring mineral can serve as a low-loss optical material for next-generation broadband all–van der Waals nanophotonic components.
Medical Xpress / Experimental cancer drug could help millions of women battling osteoporosis and midlife weight gain
An experimental cancer drug could stop osteoporosis and help women stay slim after menopause, according to new research from the University of East Anglia. The study, published in npj Drug Discovery, reveals that a compound ...
Phys.org / ALMA watches a massive binary assemble in real time
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have captured one of the most detailed three-dimensional views yet of a massive binary star system while it is still being born. By tracking the motions ...
