Phys.org / Alpine butterflies track warming uphill, but habitat loss may pose bigger risk
A new study published in the journal Alpine Entomology has found that alpine butterflies in the Swiss National Park are closely matching the pace of local warming in their range shift to higher elevations.
Medical Xpress / Fibronectin pathway may drive Marfan aortic damage, opening new drug targets
A new study published in Nature Communications identifies a molecular signaling pathway that contributes to the development of life-threatening aortic aneurysms and dissections in Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder affecting ...
Phys.org / AI could hurt employers in race for top talent
Companies embracing AI to recruit faster could be damaging their ability to compete for top talent, according to a major new study.
Tech Xplore / AI as a listening ear: Helpful or risky?
More and more people are turning to AI when they feel stressed or worried. Researchers at Leiden University studied how and why people use chatbots for emotional support. Their conclusion: AI meets a real need, but also raises ...
Medical Xpress / The 'healthier' drink that isn't: Popular alcoholic beverages found to be ultra-processed despite health claims
Canned cocktails and hard seltzers are being chosen by health-conscious young people as a safer way to consume alcohol, but new Australian research reveals these products are almost universally ultra-processed, potentially ...
Tech Xplore / First-ever recycling spin-triplet excitons boost organic photovoltaics efficiency to 20.5%
A research team from City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has recently overcome a technological bottleneck that has persisted for more than a decade. They successfully "turned waste into treasure" by recycling triplet excitons ...
Phys.org / Older than the sun: Astronomers find new clues to the origin of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS
Astronomers have used the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) to study the composition of 3I/ATLAS, the brightest interstellar object ever seen, in detail. By measuring specific chemical fingerprints—the ...
Phys.org / Ancient hobbit-like humans may have survived on meat left behind by Komodo dragons
Arguably one of the most curious ancient human relatives is Homo floresiensis, a 3-foot-tall species that lived on the Indonesian island of Flores and has been nicknamed "hobbit" for its diminutive stature. Even though they ...
Phys.org / Discrepancies in AI lunar crater catalogs discovered
A new Southwest Research Institute-led study compared eight AI-generated lunar crater catalogs, discovering that many of their published performance metrics drop sharply when the databases are evaluated using the same scientific ...
Phys.org / New workflow tool gives scientists a clearer view of how DNA is regulated
Researchers from the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore (CSI Singapore) at NUS have developed a new method that allows scientists to better understand how DNA is organized and regulated inside cells. The study, published ...
Phys.org / Earth's deepest rocks help define upper limit for viscosity beyond which materials effectively become rigid
Viscosity is one of the most fundamental physical properties used to describe how materials flow. It governs the movement of liquids, molten rocks and even slowly deforming regions deep inside the Earth. While scientists ...
Phys.org / Algorithm determines which firms have advanced capabilities—and what others must build first
Understanding how firms build their capabilities, such as managerial skills, technology adoption and innovation capacity, is important for explaining why some firms perform better and how others can improve. However, unlike ...
