Researchers from the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences (FCMS) at the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC-SP) in Sorocaba, in the interior of t...
Strain creates moiré 2D materials without twisting or stacking, opening more scalable route
Cornell researchers have developed a new way to create moiré patterns—atomic-scale structures that can give materials unusual quantum behaviors—without relying...
Climate-based tool predicts coral bleaching months in advance, offering critical lead time for reef protection
Researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have developed a new method to predict coral bleaching five to six months before it occurs, givin...
Organic farming surges in Andalusia, driven by both conviction and commercial appeal
Among the goals it has set for 2030, the European Union aims to ensure that at least one quarter of agricultural land is farmed using organic or ecological prac...
Atomic reshuffle leads to record-breaking catalysts for hydrogen production
Researchers have discovered that atoms can be mixed, separated, and recombined within the same experiment, providing a pathway to a record-breaking catalyst for...
City birds dazzle females with 'borrowed' human items
Bowerbirds in an Australian city use a range of human items—from glass and plastic to banknotes and even a pair of handcuffs—to impress females, shows new resea...
Laser beam builds cell-like protein networks without chemical modification
Networks of protein fibers play important roles in living cells. To understand the dynamical behavior of these networks, model networks are needed to perform in...
Canadian forest fires are losing their climate cooling power, says study
Diminishing periods of snow cover in northern forests, shortened by climate change, are poised to disrupt a delicate balance in some of the planet's most climat...
Ceres' surface is much more complex than previously thought
The long, puzzling dwarf planet Ceres, in reality the first named asteroid, has surface features that are much more complex than previously thought. Or at least...
Small Magellanic Cloud is being pulled apart, reshaping how astronomers read its past
Using more than a decade of observations from the VISTA Survey of the Magellanic Clouds (VMC), researchers measured the motions of millions of stars across the...
Tiny nest box change could help rare pygmy-possums after bushfires
A 1-millimeter difference in the size of a nest box entrance could help rare little pygmy-possums recover after bushfire, according to new research by Adelaide...
Nine decades of changing insect diversity in Switzerland expose a striking divide
Thanks to a historical data archive, Swiss researchers are able to draw conclusions about the changes in the diversity of two insect groups over the past 90 yea...
