Phys.org / Central Asia's record-breaking ice loss in 2025 raises water risks for millions
A new international study led by Lander Van Tricht (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, ETH Zürich), shows that glaciers in Central Asia experienced their most extreme mass-loss year on record in 2025, designated as the International ...
Medical Xpress / Can AI help predict how you might be feeling in the future?
From the weather to sports to the performance of the stock market, predictions are a regular feature of our lives. Most of these sectors rely on past data and models that can give us a decent sense of what to expect in the ...
Phys.org / Researchers transform paper sludge into valuable biofuels
Researchers have demonstrated that different types of paper industry sludge, typically treated as a low-value waste, can be transformed into a high-yield renewable biofuel. The study, published in Biofuels, Bioproducts and ...
Phys.org / Wildlife is watching us, too—and changing behavior in response
A new large-scale study led by a research team from the Yale Center for Biodiversity and Global Change has found that wildlife responds not only to how humans reshape their habitats, but also to the simple presence of humans—and ...
Phys.org / Coupled DNA nanopores control molecular traffic inside synthetic cell microreactors
Living systems such as cells rely on membrane pores and channels to transport molecules, exchange signals, and organize biochemical reactions. These functions emerge from dynamic interactions between molecular components. ...
Phys.org / Bacteria found in artisan cheeses may ease disease
Blessed are the tiny cheesemakers: scientists have mapped out the bacteria responsible for giving three British cheeses their distinct flavor, which may also be beneficial to human health. Scientists in the Food Microbial ...
Phys.org / Astronomers de-fog exoplanet atmospheres with new cloud-detecting method
Sand clouds form every morning but clear up by nightfall on WASP-94A b, a well-studied gas giant in a constellation located nearly 700 light years away from Earth. Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), research ...
Phys.org / Why some antibiotics fail in the body—pH conditions can dramatically change how bacteria respond
When researchers test whether an antibiotic will work, they usually do so in a controlled laboratory environment. But when an infection happens inside the human body, things aren't so clean and tidy. New research from the ...
Phys.org / How does gold keep its glitter? Researchers uncover why it resists tarnish
Gold has been prized for thousands of years for its enduring shine, but Tulane University researchers have discovered that gold's resistance to tarnishing depends on more than its chemistry.
Tech Xplore / Six minutes to recharge? Battery advance could rewrite what fast charging means for electric cars
Researchers at Adelaide University have discovered a promising new strategy that could deliver fast battery charging. The team, led by Professor Shi-Zhang Qiao, an ARC Industry Laureate Fellow in the University's School of ...
Medical Xpress / 'Origami' method could speed up diagnosis of neurodegenerative disease
Researchers have developed a technique that can identify errors caused by mutations linked to a range of genetic disorders, including forms of muscular dystrophy, Huntington's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), ...
Medical Xpress / Duration of depression may influence how severely the disease alters the brain
Depression affects about 5.8% of the Brazilian population and presents a wide range of symptoms, intensities, and durations. A study published in Scientific Reports involving patients with major depressive disorder demonstrated ...
