Phys.org / LHAASO discovers new extreme particle accelerator in the Milky Way
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has made a breakthrough in exploring the extreme universe. For the first time, the LHAASO collaboration has detected ultra-high-energy (UHE) gamma rays—with energies ...
Phys.org / Hidden 3D atomic structure of relaxor ferroelectrics revealed for first time
Materials called relaxor ferroelectrics have been used for decades in technologies like ultrasounds, microphones, and sonar systems. Their unique properties come from their atomic structure, but that structure has stubbornly ...
Phys.org / Autumn leaves transformed into biodegradable mulch film can curb farm plastic pollution
Fallen leaves, which are discarded every year, have been transformed into a resource that can replace waste plastics, a major nuisance in rural areas. A research team at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology ...
Science X / Your brain can't tell the difference: VR blurs the line between what's real and what just feels real
What if the strong sense of immersion you feel in virtual worlds engages the very brain processes that create your everyday reality? The distinction between "being there" in VR and "being real" may be a lot more fragile than ...
Tech Xplore / End of black box AI? Scientists develop blueprint for transparent system that reveals how it learns and makes decisions
Artificial intelligence that cannot explain how it makes decisions—often called "black box" AI—could soon be replaced by more transparent systems, research suggests. A study by Loughborough University, published in Physica ...
Medical Xpress / AI-assisted approach identifies IRS4 as a promising drug target in multiple solid tumors
Leveraging AI capabilities combined with genetic data led St. Jude Children's Research Hospital investigators to predict new cancer drug targets that carry a limited risk of side effects. For their study, published in Science ...
Medical Xpress / In cesarean birth, sex-specific effects occur in microbiota
The effects of cesarean delivery on the newborn microbiota appear to vary according to sex. A research team coordinated by INRAE has demonstrated this in a mouse model, showing increased susceptibility to colonic inflammation ...
Science X / Wild parrots quickly learn to eat new foods by copying their friends
Wild parrots learn whether new types of food are safe to eat by observing other members of their social group, allowing dietary knowledge to spread rapidly through the community, according to a study by Julia Penndorf at ...
Tech Xplore / Extended reality tool lets dancers analyze movement
It's been said that "writing about music is like dancing about architecture." Writing, or talking, about dancing can be similarly futile. A Cornell doctoral student has helped develop a tool that lets dancers use video and ...
Phys.org / Massive reef expansion 20 million years ago may explain modern coral life's origins
New research published in Science Advances reveals that the largest expansion of coral reefs in the past 100 million years happened about 20 to 10 million years ago, between Australia and Southeast Asia.
Medical Xpress / Intranasal breast milk therapy clears first safety test in brain-injured newborns
Between December 2024 and February 2025, 10 newborns with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury were treated with breast milk administered through the nasal passages using a special method at Semmelweis University in Budapest. A ...
Phys.org / GP Com observations sharpen picture of a rare ultracompact binary system
Using the Rozhen National Astronomical Observatory, Bulgarian astronomers have conducted optical photometric observations of an ultracompact binary known as GP Com. Results of the observational campaign, presented in the ...
