Medical Xpress / Ebola and hantavirus outbreaks sign of our 'dangerous' times: WHO
The deadly hantavirus and Ebola outbreaks are only the latest crises in "dangerous and divisive" times, the World Health Organization chief said Monday.
Tech Xplore / Data centers raise nearby temperatures by up to 4 degrees in Phoenix
Waste heat from data centers can boost air temperatures in downwind neighborhoods by as much as 4 degrees Fahrenheit, researchers at Arizona State University report in a new study conducted in the Phoenix metro area, the ...
Phys.org / Microneedle patch vaccine could solving one of farming's most stubborn problems
Sticking needles into arms—or rather, haunches—is often the hardest part of distributing an effective agricultural vaccine. Now, University of Connecticut researchers show in the April 15 issue of Advanced Healthcare Materials ...
Phys.org / Intensifying droughts may be pushing tropical forests toward a dangerous threshold
Tropical forests, often described as the lungs of the planet, may be edging closer to a dangerous threshold as droughts become more frequent and widespread across the world's humid tropics. New research suggests these ecosystems ...
Tech Xplore / Should you accept internet cookies? Researchers say the open web could suffer without them
It's a choice you may face multiple times a day—and, at this point, your reaction is probably reflexive. Are you going to accept those internet cookies, reject them, or spend a little time customizing your settings?
Phys.org / Twisted WSe₂ reveals elusive charge-neutral quantum modes
Quantum materials, materials with properties that are influenced by the laws of quantum mechanics, have attracted considerable attention over the past few decades. Their unique properties make these materials advantageous ...
Medical Xpress / How looking through static can help people with a common degenerative disease see better
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness among aging people globally. Around one in seven Australians over the age of 50 have some signs of AMD.
Phys.org / Hubble reveals rare galaxy 100 million light-years away caught in transition
This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image reveals an enigmatic galaxy with a bright center and a face that hints at spiral structure, yet it holds no obvious spiral arms. Reddish-brown clumps and filaments of dust partially ...
Phys.org / Eyes that photosynthesize: Scientists plant a cure for dry eye disease
What if eyes could use light to heal themselves? Drawing inspiration from how plants harness sunlight, researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) are pioneering a revolutionary treatment for dry eye disease. ...
Phys.org / Is Earth's constant companion a stray asteroid or a chunk of the moon?
Earth has a group of cosmic stalkers. Known as "co-orbitals," these small bits of rock have a 1:1 mean motion resonance with Earth. Basically, they take the exact same amount of time to orbit the sun as we do. Astronomers ...
Phys.org / The Mediterranean Sea is capable of generating hurricanes and climate change will make them worse
In March 2026, a tropical-like cyclone named "Jolina' produced significant damage across North Africa. In 2020 and 2023, storms Ianos and Daniel both caused severe damage in Greece, and the latter triggered a humanitarian ...
Tech Xplore / Multifunctional Kevlar fabric unlocks sensing, EMI protection and de-icing without losing strength
Researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute have developed a multifunctional Kevlar-based composite material capable of combining structural performance with integrated strain sensing, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding ...
