Phys.org / Mathematical analysis reveals a hidden 'golden rule' in abstract art
A mathematical method borrowed from topology can reveal structural properties of visual art that correspond to how people perceive and respond to them, according to a new study published in PLOS Computational Biology by Jacek ...
Phys.org / Gravitational waves from colliding black holes may allow detection of dark matter
Dark matter is thought to make up most of the matter in the universe, but the only way it interacts with its surroundings is through gravity. If two colliding black holes spiral through a dense region of dark matter and merge, ...
Phys.org / Historical DNA connects 1.3 million living relatives to 17th-century Maryland settlers
As the United States prepares to mark its 250th anniversary, researchers from 23andMe Research Institute, Harvard University, and the Smithsonian Institution have teamed up to study one of the country's founding settlements: ...
Phys.org / Work songs can improve team coordination, study finds
Work songs, musical pieces designed to be performed or sung while working, have been widely documented across various cultures and in different historical periods. For instance, people in different nations have been known ...
Phys.org / Atoms vibrate on circular paths—with an unexpected twist
An international team of researchers, including scientists from HZDR and Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, for the first time directly observed how angular momentum is transferred and conserved within a crystal ...
Phys.org / New UFO files offer no answers—but something is happening in the skies
The US Government has released a new trove of documents on cases of "unidentified anomalous phenomena" (UAPs)—many of which would have been described in the past as unidentified flying objects or UFOs—including photos, videos ...
Phys.org / 'Elegant triangle' experiment suggests quantum internet may be closer than we think
For more than 60 years, Bell's theorem has been the gold standard for demonstrating that quantum mechanics defies the rules of classical physics. Now, an international team of researchers, including Constructor University ...
Phys.org / A deep‑ocean climate plan wins rare EPA approval, but is sinking plants in the sea the answer?
Innovators who are working on ways to pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere to fight climate change are having a tough time lately.
Medical Xpress / Popular workout supplement may blunt heart benefits of exercise in women
A supplement widely promoted for athletic performance may interfere with some of the heart's beneficial adaptations to exercise, according to new Dalhousie University research published in Scientific Reports.
Phys.org / Hairy new fish species discovered in the Great Barrier Reef
Swimming among the corals of the Great Barrier Reef is a fish that could be a doppelganger for the famous Sesame Street character Mr. Snuffleupagus. This bright orange-red, hairy, long-snouted ghost pipefish is a new species ...
Tech Xplore / Ultra-thin membrane enables high-efficiency hydrogen fuel cells for transport and industry
Engineers have developed a new ultra-thin membrane that allows fuel cells to operate more efficiently at high temperatures by enabling proton transport without water, overcoming a key limitation in clean energy technologies.
Phys.org / Tropical rivers emerge as biggest oxygen-loss hotspots in a warming world
According to a study published in Science Advances on May 15, global rivers are undergoing widespread and sustained deoxygenation driven by climate warming, among which tropical rivers are the most vulnerable ecosystems, ...
