Medical Xpress / Feel like your brain is a little sluggish? Try ten minutes of exercise
Charles Hillman has known for a long time that exercise has a positive impact on the brain. This effect has been demonstrated by the Northeastern University psychology professor and others in varied and robust experimental ...
Phys.org / Perseverance Mars rover ready to roll for miles in years ahead
After nearly five years on Mars, NASA's Perseverance rover has traveled almost 25 miles (40 kilometers), and the mission team has been busy testing the rover's durability and gathering new science findings on the way to a ...
Medical Xpress / What determines the fate of a T cell? Research highlights cellular 'housekeeping' mechanism
When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell inherits different cellular components, which drive the cells toward divergent fates—one cell becomes ...
Medical Xpress / Disappointment alters brain chemistry and behavior, mouse study shows
From work meetings to first dates, it's essential to adjust our behavior for success. In certain situations, it can even be a matter of life or death. So how do we switch our behavior when situations change?
Phys.org / Category '6' tropical cyclone hot spots are growing
The oceanic conditions that churn up the very strongest of hurricanes and typhoons are heating up in the North Atlantic and Western Pacific, fueled by warm water that extends well below the surface. Human-caused climate change ...
Tech Xplore / Putting the squeeze on dendrites: New strategy addresses persistent problem in next-generation solid-state batteries
New research by Brown University engineers identifies a simple strategy for combating a major stumbling block in the development of next-generation solid-state lithium batteries.
Phys.org / Rate of US coastal sea level rise doubled in the past century, study finds
A July 2025 report from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) claims that U.S. tide gauge measurements "in aggregate show no obvious acceleration in sea level rise beyond the historical average rate." However, a new study by ...
Phys.org / Soil molecular diversity spikes as microbes decompose plants, researchers discover
Globally, soils contain three times as much carbon as exists in the atmosphere and all plants, combined. Which means that understanding how soil microbes recycle organic materials—sometimes sending CO2 back into the atmosphere, ...
Phys.org / Potentially toxic elements in bananas grown in the Mariana disaster region exceed United Nations limits
Scientists specializing in soil geochemistry, environmental engineering, and health affiliated with the University of São Paulo (USP) and the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES) in Brazil and the University of Santiago ...
Phys.org / Video: Lunar impact flash detected on the moon by Armagh Observatory and Planetarium
On 12 December 2025 at 03:09:36 UTC, astronomers at the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium (AOP) have captured what is believed to be the first video recording of a lunar impact flash in Ireland, and the second recorded from ...
Phys.org / Pimple patches have hidden our blemishes for hundreds of years—historian explains
You may have noticed people out and about with little stickers on their faces. Perhaps you've seen moons, stars, clouds or even smiley faces adorning people's cheeks and chins. Maybe you wear them yourself. While some people ...
Dialog / Typhoons vacuum microplastics from ocean and deposit them on land, study finds
Tropical storms such as typhoons, hurricanes, and cyclones are Earth's most powerful weather systems. Born over warm oceans, they travel thousands of kilometers to land, traversing waters now polluted with plastics, from ...
