Phys.org / Glacier loss to accelerate, with up to 4,000 disappearing each year by 2050s
Thousands of glaciers will vanish each year in the coming decades, leaving only a fraction standing by the end of the century unless global warming is curbed, a study showed on Monday.
Phys.org / Study unveils the dual nature of a young stellar object
Astronomers from the Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES) in India and elsewhere have conducted a long-term photometric and spectroscopic study of a young stellar object known as V1180 Cassiopeiae. ...
Phys.org / How do I make clear ice at home? A food scientist shares easy tips
When you splurge on a cocktail in a bar, the drink often comes with a slab of aesthetically pleasing, perfectly clear ice. The stuff looks much fancier than the slightly cloudy ice you get from your home freezer. How do they ...
Phys.org / Researchers develop efficient, reusable compound for capturing carbon dioxide from air
A new method to capture carbon dioxide from the air has been developed at the University of Helsinki's chemistry department.
Phys.org / 2025 was one of three hottest years on record, scientists say
Climate change worsened by human behavior made 2025 one of the three hottest years on record, scientists said.
Phys.org / Wildland fires emit more air pollution than previously estimated, study finds
As fires burn the landscape, they spew airborne gases and particles, though their impact on air pollution might be underestimated.
Phys.org / Tokamak experiments exceed plasma density limit, offering new approach to fusion ignition
Researchers working on China's fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally accessed a theorized "density-free regime" for fusion plasmas, achieving stable operation at densities ...
Phys.org / Why we may be misreading our dogs' emotions
Humans and dogs have been living together side by side for thousands of years, so you would think we know everything about our four-legged friends by now. But we may not understand them as well as we think we do.
Phys.org / These Illinois dairy and beef farms make raising methane-belching cows part of the climate solution
Illinois is a top agricultural state, generating billions of dollars annually, but even where stalks of corn and acres of soybean vastly outnumber its 400,000 head of cattle, cows raised for beef and dairy account for an ...
Phys.org / Multi-core black carbon particles found to boost light absorption in wildfire smoke
Researchers at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) have contributed to a study revealing that conventional theories on the structure of black carbon particles—such as those emitted by wildfires—may have significantly ...
Phys.org / Clouds are vital to life—but many are becoming wispy ghosts. Here's how to see the changes above us
As a scholar researching clouds, I have spent much of my time trying to understand the economy of the sky. Not the weather reports showing scudding rainclouds, but the deeper logic of cloud movements, their distributions ...
Phys.org / Before we build on the moon, we have to master the commute
Even most rocket scientists would rather avoid hard math when they don't have to do it. So when it comes to figuring out orbits in complex three-body systems, like those in cis-lunar space, which is between Earth and the ...
