Phys.org / Dinosaur dental fossils reveal bird-like parental care bonds
Baby dinosaurs were likely fed more nutritious food than their adult counterparts, a finding that could offer insights into their social evolution, suggests a new study. Paleontologists uncovered this finding by studying ...
Phys.org / Old bottles and battery acid can drive production of valuable industrial chemicals
Battery acid from old cars, with a little help from a catalyst, can give plastic waste a new purpose, using it to drive the production of useful chemicals, powered by sunlight alone. A recent study by researchers at the University ...
Phys.org / Non-rotating early galaxy is a surprise to astronomers
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have made a surprising discovery about a galaxy long, long ago and far, far away: It isn't rotating. That's something only seen in the most massive, mature galaxies that are ...
Phys.org / Heavy Atlantic rain can block African aerosols from fertilizing Amazon, study finds
How are cold air masses advancing in the United States connected to fertilizers carried by "flying rivers" from Africa that nourish the soils of the Brazilian Amazon? An article published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals ...
Phys.org / Bee more specific: New radar tech could improve identification and tracking of key pollinators
Scientists from Trinity and Technical University of Denmark have developed a new radar-based technique that could address a critical gap in global conservation efforts, by transforming how we identify and track the insects ...
Medical Xpress / AI-powered electrocardiogram detects early signs of heart failure
Interpreting relatively inexpensive electrocardiograms (ECGs) with an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm accurately screened patients for a key precursor of heart failure in Kenya, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical ...
Phys.org / The first direct observation of laser-created isolated hopfions
Over the past few decades, some physicists worldwide have been investigating unusual particle-like magnetic structures known as topological solitons. These structures could potentially be leveraged to develop new cutting-edge ...
Phys.org / Organic luminescent radicals enable bright circularly polarized light in the near-infrared region
Circularly polarized light has properties that make it useful in a growing range of technologies, from next-generation 3D displays to bioimaging tools that can detect signals deep within living tissues. One way to produce ...
Phys.org / New catalyst unlocks carbon-free ammonia heat for steel, cement and chemicals
A single-atom platinum catalyst lights ammonia at 200 °C and keeps it burning steadily at 1,100 °C with low NOx, generating high-grade, carbon-free heat for steel, cement and chemicals.
Phys.org / AI cuts wildlife tracking time from months to days
Artificial intelligence can dramatically speed up the painstaking work of tracking wildlife with remote cameras, cutting analysis time from months or even a year to just days while producing nearly the same scientific conclusions ...
Medical Xpress / Gold-coated microneedles can detect subtleties in how liver and kidneys process drugs in real time
Scientists have taken a giant leap forward with the development of tiny microneedles designed to detect subtle but critical changes in how the liver and kidneys process therapeutic drugs. The experimental technology, under ...
Phys.org / Ancient sea fossils indicate millipede and centipede ancestors evolved their legs while still underwater
The myriapoda group of arthropods includes the many-legged centipedes and millipedes that most people are familiar with. Although myriapods are all terrestrial creatures, researchers are unclear about when and how they evolved ...
