Phys.org / Scientists uncover hidden phosphorus reservoir vital for future food production
Researchers have developed a simpler, more cost-effective method to measure a biologically important form of phosphorus in soils, providing new insights into nutrient cycling that could help improve sustainable agricultural ...
Medical Xpress / Neighborhood opportunities can shape children's brain development, study finds
The environment in which children grow up can play a central role in their mental development and psychological well-being. For instance, past studies have found that a family's socioeconomic status and the opportunities ...
Tech Xplore / Qantas to launch non-stop Sydney-London flights in October 2027
Australian airline Qantas announced it will launch the world's first nonstop flights between London and Sydney in October 2027.
Phys.org / Hidden mitochondrial genes emerge as mealybugs encode two genes on one DNA stretch
What if a single sentence could carry two completely different meanings, one when read forward and another when read backward? In a new study, researchers at Arizona State University have discovered a biological version of ...
Phys.org / Helios quantum computer tops 99.9% fidelity rates for one- and two-qubit operations
A public-private partnership in the Mountain West announced new results today that mark steady progress toward the Department of Energy's goal of fault-tolerant quantum computing, systems large and reliable enough to solve ...
Phys.org / Comb jelly embryos reveal embryonic signaling center shared across early animal evolution
In order for vertebrate embryos to develop their body axes, they require what is known as an embryonic signaling center. This group of cells provides the instructions that determine where up and down, left and right, and ...
Phys.org / Ancient curse tablet bears rare Greek inscription with binding spell intended to harm enemies
Heidelberg University researchers have deciphered the inscription on an ancient curse tablet, which was once used to invoke deities and demons in order to harm an enemy. The "magical" artifact from the Roman province of Lower ...
Phys.org / Flipped quantum interference unlocks clearer gluon maps from near-miss nuclear encounters
Scientists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) usually capture what happens when atomic nuclei smash into one another at nearly the speed of light. But even when the nuclei don't collide, ...
Phys.org / Floating litter extends over Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the US
A study led by researchers from the Smithsonian Institution and the UB reveals that reducing single-use plastic is essential for protecting coastal ecosystems. Floating litter has also invaded Chesapeake Bay, the largest ...
Phys.org / Molecular fossils reveal secrets of Earth's recovery from ancient global warming event
Scientists have uncovered new evidence from one of Earth's most extreme ancient warming events, revealing how the climate may recover long after human-driven CO2 emissions cease.
Dialog / 'Contaminated' cultures: Can conservation protect nature while excluding Indigenous peoples?
At an international heritage symposium in Japan, I heard a word that stayed with me: "contaminated." The discussion concerned whether Indigenous peoples needed to be named explicitly in a new World Heritage framework. One ...
Phys.org / A 19-year 'goldmine' of mountain cloud and rainwater samples provides fresh insights about air pollution
Rainfall history is just as critical to predicting air pollution as where the air came from, a team led by University of Michigan Engineering researchers, in collaboration with scientists at the Appalachian Mountain Club ...
