Tech Xplore / South Africans want solar power but they worry panels will be stolen, according to study
South Africa would seem like the perfect place for widespread uptake of solar energy. The country is sunny, with high solar generation potential. Solar is a clean, reliable source of power that can help people reduce their ...
Medical Xpress / This shrimp-inspired camera sees hidden cancer spread and could transform how surgeons remove lymph nodes
Researchers have developed a compact camera that captures ultraviolet, near-infrared, and visible images using a single chip. Inspired by the multiwavelength vision capability of the mantis shrimp, the camera could help surgeons ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds widening racial and gender inequities in polysubstance overdose deaths
U.S. overdose deaths involving polysubstance use—particularly opioids combined with stimulants—have risen sharply in recent years, with disproportionate increases among non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic populations, especially ...
Phys.org / Improving everyday journeys for women and girls
Welsh local authorities will have new guidance to help make walking, wheeling and cycling safer and more accessible for women and girls, thanks to work led by an Aberystwyth University academic.
Phys.org / Waikīkī faces escalating threat of sewage-contaminated flooding as sea level rises
A new study by University of Hawai'i at Mānoa researchers revealed that Waikīkī is facing a fundamental shift in flood hazards as sea levels rise—transitioning from a flooding that is driven primarily by rainfall to events ...
Phys.org / Museum drawer fossil reveals 200-million-year-old crocodile relative with a powerful bite
The fossil record has given us another new prehistoric species, named Eosphorosuchus lacrimosa (from the Greek personification of the morning star—the planet Venus), a member of the group called Crocodylomorpha, which includes ...
Phys.org / What do sushi, climbing and smoking have in common? How we talk about risk
Next week, Sara Perlstein will defend her Ph.D. on risk talk: the everyday conversations we have about risks with people close to us. From eating sushi to climbing or smoking, these informal talks shape how we deal with danger ...
Phys.org / ALMA confirms rare quasar pair at redshift 5.7 in merging galaxies
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have discovered a close pair of quasars, which is a result of a distant massive galaxy merger. The detection of the quasar pair was detailed in a ...
Medical Xpress / New imaging tools help cancer researchers see inside living cells
A new study co-led by an Oregon Health & Science University researcher describes a breakthrough in microscopy tools that could dramatically expand how cancer biology labs study the inner workings of living cells. The research, ...
Tech Xplore / 'Like liquid metal': Entangled, staple-like particles could inspire new generation of materials
A tightly packed ball of office staples can be surprisingly strong. Try to pull it apart and the tangled metal resists like a solid object. But with the right movement or vibration, that same bundle can quickly fall back ...
Phys.org / AI turns plain-language prompts into lab-ready recipes for novel materials
Advances in artificial intelligence promise to help chemical engineers discover complex new materials. These materials could be used for reactions such as turning carbon dioxide into fuel, but technical barriers have limited ...
Phys.org / Dark matter could explain the earliest supermassive black holes
A growing mystery in astronomy is the presence of gargantuan black holes—some weighing as much as a billion suns—existing less than a billion years after the Big Bang. According to the standard theory of black hole formation, ...
