Phys.org / Daily mismatch between temperature and humidity helps shield cloud forests from dryness
A daily mismatch between temperature and humidity, observed in certain mountain and waterside regions, helps regulate atmospheric dryness. According to a new study published in Science Advances, this protective effect may ...
Phys.org / Quantum battery device lasts much longer than previous demonstrations
Researchers from RMIT University and CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, have unveiled a method to significantly extend the lifetime of quantum batteries—1,000 times longer than previous demonstrations.
Phys.org / New software promises to make precision genome editing with CRISPR accessible to more researchers
A Ph.D. student in biomolecular engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has built a software program designed to facilitate the kind of precision genome editing involved in the development of cutting-edge ...
Phys.org / How lakes connect to groundwater critical for resilience to climate change, research finds
Understanding whether lakes are fed predominantly by groundwater or rainwater is critical to managing our water resources in the face of droughts and shortages, new research has found.
Phys.org / Purplish creature found in volcanic fjord is new species named after Darth Vader
In the waters of Papua New Guinea's Tufi region, known for its dramatic volcanic fjords, an unusual fish sat perched on a massive rocky coral outcrop.
Phys.org / UK hopes to bolster space weather forecasts with Europe's first solar storm monitor
A new U.K.-led satellite mission concept aims to strengthen the country's position in space weather observation and forecasting by deploying a suite of homegrown scientific instruments on a low-cost spacecraft in low-Earth ...
Phys.org / How plants manage light: New insights into nature's oxygen-making machinery
A set of breakthroughs from scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is offering a new understanding of how energy flows through one of nature's most important molecular ...
Medical Xpress / Online poll shows Americans can't tell healthy processed foods from unhealthy ones
Thirty-nine percent of respondents to an online poll incorrectly said all processed foods are unhealthy, according to new research by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine published today, July 8, 2025, in JAMA ...
Medical Xpress / When stem cells feel the squeeze, they start building bone
In a discovery that could reshape approaches to regenerative medicine and bone repair, researchers have found that human stem cells can be prompted to begin turning into bone cells simply by squeezing through narrow spaces.
Phys.org / Can you trust climate information? How and why powerful players are misleading the public
Ten years ago, the world committed itself to keeping global warming well below 2°C (and preferably below 1.5°C) above the pre-industrial era. This would be done by reducing greenhouse gas emissions significantly by 2030 ...
Phys.org / Parker Solar Probe uncovers direct evidence of the sun's 'helicity barrier'
New research utilizing data from NASA's Parker Solar Probe has provided the first direct evidence of a phenomenon known as the "helicity barrier" in the solar wind. This discovery, published in Physical Review X by Queen ...
Phys.org / A new method for analyzing the stability of sunspots
Sunspots are the most striking phenomenon of the solar magnetic field. After the invention of the telescope early in the 17th century, the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei was the first to routinely observe sunspots. In ...
