Phys.org / Why Triceratops has such a big nose: The first comprehensive hypothesis on soft tissue in the dinosaur
Triceratops and similar horned dinosaurs had unusually large nasal cavities compared to most animals. Researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, used CT scans of fossilized Triceratops skulls and compared ...
Phys.org / Intensive grazing and soil fertility favor the growth of non-native plants, drylands study finds
A global study has revealed the conditions under which non-native plants thrive in the world's many dryland regions and the factors that limit their spread. Using data from 98 study sites across 25 countries on six continents, ...
Phys.org / Moving biopesticides through plants opens new opportunities
University of Queensland research has revealed that double-stranded RNA-based biopesticides (dsRNA) sprayed on plant leaves can travel right down into root systems. Led by Dr. Chris Brosnan at UQ's Queensland Alliance for ...
Phys.org / To aficionados, fungi are freaky, mystical and overlooked. They're helping scientists learn more
Jessica Allen crunched through fallen leaves among Manzanita trees hunting for something few have spotted before: the Manzanita butter clump—a rare and little-known yellow mushroom found, so far, only along North America's ...
Phys.org / Why failing generative AI keeps rolling in government: Nine arguments sustain momentum
New ethnographic research reveals nine justifications that make AI innovations almost "irresistible" across organizational and professional boundaries. The study conducted at the University of Eastern Finland and Aalto University ...
Medical Xpress / For women over 60, muscle strength matters
You don't need to look like a bodybuilder, but for healthy aging, maintaining muscle strength is likely just as important as getting enough aerobic activity, according to the findings of a University at Buffalo-led study ...
Phys.org / New amplifier design promises less noise, more gain for quantum computers
The low-noise, high-gain properties needed for high-performance quantum computing can be realized in a microwave photonic circuit device called a Josephson traveling-wave parametric amplifier (JTWPA), RIKEN researchers have ...
Medical Xpress / Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy before surgery shows promise for pancreatic cancer
A new UCLA investigator-initiated study has found that adding immunotherapy to standard chemotherapy before surgery is safe and shows promise for some patients with borderline-resectable pancreatic cancer, a disease that ...
Phys.org / Atrocities take place in democratic nations as well as autocratic ones—our database has logged them all
Thousands of people were killed by Iranian security forces in days of protests in January 2026. Meanwhile, in the same month, the killing of two protesters in Minneapolis shone a light on the use of fatal force by American ...
Phys.org / Relatedness and positive attitudes drive trust in AI and its developers
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in everyday life and public institutions, trust in the companies developing AI is emerging as a critical societal issue. A new international study led by researchers ...
Phys.org / Can seagrass survive extreme heat? Exploring how different species withstand elevated water temperatures
Extreme heat can have a devastating effect on seagrass, but new research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) could shape how these vitally important marine ecosystems are managed and restored. In separate studies carried out ...
Medical Xpress / With the right prompts, AI chatbots can analyze biomedical big data accurately
In an early test of how AI can be used to decipher large amounts of health data, researchers at UC San Francisco and Wayne State University found that generative AI tools could perform orders of magnitude faster—and in ...
