Phys.org / Alaknanda: JWST discovers massive grand-design spiral galaxy from the universe's infancy
A spiral galaxy, shaped much like our Milky Way, has been found in an era when astronomers believed such well-formed galaxies could not yet exist. Two astronomers from India have identified a remarkably mature galaxy just ...
Tech Xplore / Reliable 5G communication solution developed for civil protection and disaster relief
In a disaster, there are often massive network outages. When the Ahr, a small river in Rhineland-Palatinate, burst its banks in July 2021, the entire telephone and mobile network quickly collapsed as the floodwaters and mud ...
Medical Xpress / New study highlights benefit of surgery for children with cerebral palsy
A new national study has found that single-event multi-level surgery (SEMLS) helps straighten the legs and improves walking ability in children with cerebral palsy.
Phys.org / Synchrotron radiation sources: Toolboxes for quantum technologies
Synchrotron radiation sources generate highly brilliant light pulses, ranging from infrared to hard X-rays, which can be used to gain deep insights into complex materials.
Phys.org / New study exposes how conspiracy theories go mainstream across EU
New pan-European research has shown that the spread of conspiracy theories across the continent is driven by a continuous feedback loop between media reporting, political rhetoric, protest movements and social media algorithms—not ...
Medical Xpress / Another cancer patient achieves HIV remission after stem cell transplant
Details of a 60-year-old male individual from Germany who achieved sustained HIV remission after a stem cell transplant, the seventh-known case reported to date, are published in Nature this week.
Phys.org / Urban sprawl could deny 220 million people access to clean water by 2050
A new study analyzing more than 100 cities across Asia, Africa, and Latin America has quantified the stark consequences of urban sprawl on water and sanitation access, finding that how cities grow might determine whether ...
Phys.org / Crop pests can develop 'fighter-jet wings' after eating specific mix of corn
Eating a blend of non-toxic corn and genetically modified toxic corn can result in corn earworm pests (Helicoverpa zea) developing longer, more narrow and more tapered wings—shaped like the wings of a fighter jet—that ...
Phys.org / Queensland study maps spread of seafood poisoning threat
A microscopic organism linked to serious seafood-related illness has been detected for the first time in the waters of Hervey Bay and Gladstone. The findings are published in Harmful Algae. Joseph Perkins, a James Cook University ...
Tech Xplore / AI creates optimized engine components that outperform human designs
Gerotor pumps for oil circulation and lubrication are crucial components in automotive and hydraulic systems. They possess a compact design, excellent flow rate per rotation, and high suction capability. The gerotor tooth ...
Phys.org / Playing specific bat-like ultrasounds can suppress moth reproduction, offering a smart way to protect crops
For many nocturnal moths, hearing sound waves is a matter of survival in the night sky. Their ability to detect ultrasonic calls emitted by bats determines whether they escape or become prey. This predator-prey relationship ...
Medical Xpress / What your sweat can reveal about your health
Sweat contains a wealth of biological information that, with the help of artificial intelligence and next-generation sensors, could transform how we monitor our health and well-being, a new study suggests.
