Phys.org / How climate change is destroying Arctic cultural heritage sites
Climate change is rapidly destroying cultural heritage sites across the Arctic, as exemplified in a 17th century "whalers' graveyard" which provides invaluable insights into early whalers' way of life, according to a study ...
Phys.org / Rising seawater heat may collapse coral oxygen flow before bleaching appears
Tropical coral reefs support the highest levels of biodiversity in the ocean. This vital ecosystem depends on reef-building corals, which form colonies of thousands of tiny coral animals that secrete calcium carbonate skeletons, ...
Medical Xpress / The neural basis of thought symbols identified for the first time
If you ask a child to draw an animal that doesn't exist, they'll often cobble together components from real ones—say, the body of a seal with an elephant's trunk, four octopus arms, and one lizard eye.
Medical Xpress / Rollback of PFAS drinking water standards raises safety fears
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said Monday it wants to roll back some regulations on "forever chemicals" in drinking water put into place in 2024.
Phys.org / An explanation for the massive black holes the JWST found in the early universe
One of the most puzzling findings from the JWST's observations of the early universe is the size of black holes. According to our understanding of black hole growth, these early black holes are far more massive than expected. ...
Phys.org / After 10 years of upgrades, this legendary telescope has returned to chase black holes, asteroids and cosmic chemistry
The Haystack 37m Telescope has been a landmark in radio astronomy and radar studies of the solar system since its first light in 1964. Over the following four decades, it supported NASA's Apollo landings on the moon, made ...
Medical Xpress / New technique discovers previously unknown population of immune cells in the Alzheimer's brain
A newly developed microscopy technique allows, for the first time, the visualization of more than 30 protein markers simultaneously in the human brain and uses bioinformatics to analyze their spatial relationships. In the ...
Medical Xpress / How schizophrenia risk may begin: Gene changes reshape signaling in developing neurons
Researchers at King's College London have identified the biological nature and timing of changes in human cortical neurons caused by altering activity of a schizophrenia-associated gene in developing human neurons. This discovery ...
Phys.org / Asteroid impact site reveals possible traces of early life
A discovery by a South Korean research team suggests that impact-generated lakes may have fostered early oxygen-producing life. A team of South Korean scientists has uncovered new evidence that could help explain how Earth's ...
Medical Xpress / One in four doctors believe human preservation and future revival could work, but not without challenges
A new survey of U.S. physicians focuses on human preservation procedures and the feasibility of future revival. Ariel Zeleznikow-Johnston of Monash University, Australia, and colleagues present their findings in the study, ...
Phys.org / Space storms light up Japan's sky with red auroras climbing far higher than expected
On a special night, if you are lucky, you might catch a faint red glow quietly lighting up Japan's sky, stretching low along the horizon and easy to miss if you are not looking carefully. Subtle and diffuse, it probably appears ...
Phys.org / Overturning a 200-year belief: New surface design enables two distinct wetting states on a single substrate
NIMS discovered a phenomenon in which droplets on a single solid surface exhibit both a "sticky" and "repellent" state simultaneously. Namely, the wetting behavior branches into two states. This is a discovery that overturns ...
