Medical Xpress / Hibernation-like cooling after stroke may reduce brain damage
Our body loves the state of homeostasis, where everything is in perfect equilibrium, from temperature to pH levels to fluid balance. As soon as the body's core temperature drops below 95°F (35°C) and stays there for a long ...
Phys.org / Powerful UFO spotted blasting from a distant black hole
Astronomers have detected one of the most powerful ultra-fast outflows ever seen from a distant supermassive black hole. Using XMM-Newton and NuSTAR, a team studied a hyper-luminous quasar at cosmic noon and found two distinct ...
Medical Xpress / People consciously recognize the meaning of words they can no longer see, study finds
When humans are awake, they are typically aware of specific sounds, movements, objects and other stimuli in their surroundings. Most of these are stimuli that they can see, hear or perceive with any of their other senses.
Phys.org / Building more apartments won't ease housing crisis
Building more apartments will not solve Australia's housing affordability crisis unless policymakers address rising house prices and investor activity, new research shows. Australia's housing affordability crisis is being ...
Tech Xplore / Three-armed Sashimi-Bot learns to slice and serve fish like a pro
If you ever need help in the kitchen cutting fish into appetizing bites, a new three-armed robot may be able to help. And that's no easy feat for robots. While they are generally good at picking up rigid objects, something ...
Tech Xplore / Drones learn to squeeze through narrow gaps using onboard AI control
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are now widely used for various purposes, ranging from filmmaking and aerial photography to industrial inspection, precision farming and reaching obstructed areas ...
Phys.org / Third time's the charm for a row of faint galaxies without dark matter
A Yale-led team of astronomers has found a third galaxy devoid of dark matter—located alongside the other two in a formation that has never been seen before. Astronomers have followed a faint, cosmic trail of gas to a third ...
Phys.org / Hidden electric space waves are quietly cleaning Earth's 'killer' electrons
High above our heads, a silent battle is unfolding within Earth's magnetic shield. For decades, scientists have tracked "killer electrons"—ultrafast particles capable of piercing satellite armor and endangering astronauts ...
Phys.org / Five phases of localization physics observed in a single quantum system
Physicists in China have observed five phases in localization physics within a single quantum system. Using an advanced photonic platform, the team, led by Yucheng Wang and Jingyun Fan at the Southern University of Science ...
Science X / How a brainless sea blob still 'feels' touch and crawls away in seconds without nerves or muscles
For a flat sea creature just a few millimeters across, a gentle poke is instantly recognized as danger. Trichoplax adhaerens—a translucent blob with no head, brain or muscles—scuttles away in seconds when touched. Imagine ...
Phys.org / Could Earth have sent life to Jupiter's moon Europa?
Could Earth have seeded Jupiter's moon Europa with bacterial life, where it could have taken hold in Europa's ocean and perhaps evolved into something more? That's the hypothesis of a new paper in the International Journal ...
Phys.org / Is 'gender gating' the secret to success in online dating?
Digital matching platforms—from professional networking to ride-sharing and accommodation services—add value by bringing supply and demand into balance. But deep-seated asymmetries can prove difficult to expunge, causing ...
