Phys.org / Sea-level projections from the 1990s were spot on, study says
Global sea-level change has now been measured by satellites for more than 30 years, and a comparison with climate projections from the mid-1990s shows that they were remarkably accurate, according to two Tulane University ...
Phys.org / New model describes result of non-reciprocal interactions between two non-linear molecules
Asymmetric interactions between different species of molecules have previously been demonstrated to result in self-organized patterns and functions. If one species A is attracted to B, but in turn, B is repelled by A, run-and-chase ...
Phys.org / Earth system models project start of Amazon dieback within 21st century
The Amazon is the world's largest rainforest. It harbors immense biodiversity and plays a crucial role in the global climate system by storing vast amounts of carbon in its vegetation.
Phys.org / Microbes form living electrical networks to filter methane from ocean floor, scientists discover
Methane—a potent greenhouse gas—constantly seeps from the ocean floor and can rise into the atmosphere. Now, an international team led by scientists with the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences has uncovered ...
Medical Xpress / RFK Jr.'s plans to overhaul 'vaccine court' system would face legal and scientific challenges
For almost 40 years, people who suspect they've been harmed by a vaccine have been able to turn to a little-known system called the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program—often simply called the vaccine court.
Phys.org / US already has the critical minerals it needs—but they're being thrown away, new analysis shows
All the critical minerals the U.S. needs annually for energy, defense and technology applications are already being mined at existing U.S. facilities, according to a new analysis published in the journal Science.
Phys.org / Outrigger system traces brightest-ever radio burst to a nearby galaxy's single spiral arm
An international team of scientists, including Northwestern University astrophysicists, has spotted one of the brightest fast radio bursts (FRBs) ever recorded—and pinpointed its location with unprecedented precision.
Phys.org / Imperfect light sources achieve new benchmark in secure quantum communication
A team of physicists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has made a breakthrough that could bring secure quantum communication closer to everyday use—without needing flawless hardware.
Phys.org / Analysis reveals phytoplankton's contribution to centuries-long ocean carbon storage
Phytoplankton—microscopic algae that form the base of ocean food webs—have long been viewed as transient players in the global carbon cycle: They bloom, die, and the carbon they contain is quickly recycled back into the ...
Phys.org / Oil and gas air pollution linked to 91,000 early deaths in the US each year
Air pollution from oil and gas is causing 91,000 premature deaths and hundreds of thousands of health issues across the United States annually, with Black, Asian, Native American and Hispanic groups consistently the most ...
Medical Xpress / Breast cancer drug side effects: Study reveals how tamoxifen raises risk of secondary tumors in uterus
An international research team has identified a previously unknown mechanism by which the breast cancer drug tamoxifen can increase the risk of secondary tumors in the uterus.
Phys.org / Self-consistent model incorporates gas self-gravity effects to address accretion across cosmic scales
A research team led by Prof. Jiao Chengliang at the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, has introduced a self-consistent model that addresses long-unresolved theoretical gaps ...
